- Caption from metadata: "Mark Lambert, a firefighter at Burnaby Fire Hall 1, adds another Christmas tree to the bonfire at the department's first annual tree chipping event. Lambert said the fire was only supposed to be symbolic, but when the chipper didn't show up on Saturday, all the used trees were burned. He said the fire did serve as an educational eye-opener though, to show people how quickly and intensely a dried tree can burn."
