Instructor Brian Kazmierzak reviews fire growth/ behavior with the duty crews
|
|
Fire begins to build in "the room" of origin
|
|
|
Fire growth phase
|
|
Flammable vapors have allowed the fire to "jump" to the adjoining room.
|
|
|
Fire behavior noted by crews simulating a hole cut in the roof
|
|
Fire started on a first floor room. a window on the second floor is in the open position
|
|
|
The entire structure is then closed up, simulating a closed up house.
|
|
The "front" door is opened, simulating fire fighters making entery to fire the fire. A fire fighter opens the hole in the roof.
|
|
|
The build up of flammable smoke then ignites throughout the home.
|
|
The other windows and doors are opened to demonstrate that fire IS present in all areas as soon as there is enough air for the fire to free burn.
