I shot this scene for discovery, there were no accelerants used. Tree was slightly dry like it gets toward new years if you forget to water it.
Once a naked flame reaches the tree it is history. A electrical fault would smolder but once direct flame contact is made the tree would go up in the same way.
It is not a "slippery slope" if the viewer understands the tree is not green. The structure was a freestanding wooden former accommodation building, not a purpose built set.
