    Its simple reallywe do it all the time

    and Id encourage you to try this at homeit drives


    home the message quite effectively when it is
    demonstrated!!

    Paper doesnt burn that easily

    But that doesnt mean it wont

    Car upholstery was another matter


    altogether

    Each of these burns took less than 7


    seconds!

    Contributing factors

    Angle of sunlight
    Shape and clarity of bottle
    Bottle full of water
    Readily inflammable material

    What can you do?


    Dont leave bottles in vehicles (or near windows in
    buildings) cover them up if you have to.
    Better stilluse purpose-built water bottles which
    are not made of clear glass or plastic
    Share this within the business
    Share it with your family and friends

    PS you now know another way to start a fire in a


    survival situation!
