What was the ignition source there? I think I remember a Mythbusters episode where they did this, but found that the heat from the lights alone wasn't enough to do it. Bad wiring could though.

It looks to me like it was staged and the fire was intentional. Probably a firefighters' demonstration video.

Shame - that was a nice looking tree.

Not so long ago, people were putting REAL candle lights in their Christmas tree! They must have been very skilled at handling fire in those days.
