Not only faster fire (apart from at the very beginning when the left room was marginally ahead) but also far more suffocating smoke.

It can also push fire if the stream doesn't hit all the fire at once and entrains air because the stream is whipped. Or if it's a master stream. I've been on the wrong side of a master stream that pressurized a compartment on fire.

Think these fires are from the 68-69 riots

The music is completely unnecessary and ridiculously distracting

There's fire doors, so anyone who's ever seen one, will probably assume a closed door will be better.

This is scary

All I needed was to see was Ray McCormack to know this is legit.

One of the best safety videos I've ever watched.

The footage of the dead is from the UpStairs Lounge arson attack in 1972, I think.

i showed this to my 7 year old after the building next to ours burnt down in minutes in front of our eyes.

Thanks

My door is always closed to serve as a buffer in case somebody breaks into my home. guess it serves 2 purposes

I feel like buildings should have secondary manual alarms. Smoke detector, "BEEEP BEEEP BEEEP BEEEP" People: "Okay, either something's on fire or Anthony has burned his popcorn again." Secondary Alarm moments later: "RAYOO RAYOO RAYOO RAYOO RAYOO" People: "Oh, Someone has seen the fire and that's the 'This is real' alarm." Also, fire alarms need a "I'm fucking cooking!" switch. Me: (Burns something) Alarm 1: "Oh shit! BEEEP BEEEP BEEEP BEEEP! Hey Alarm 2, Wake up!" Alarm 2: "Okay! BEEEP BEEEP BEEEP BEEEP" Me: (Turns off alarm 1) Alarm 1: "Okay, I'm off now." Me: (Walks to alarm 2.) Alarm 2: "BEEEP BEEEP, Hey, alarm 1. You woke *me* up, remember? BEEEP BEEEP!" Alarm 1: "Oh yeah! BEEEP BEEEP BEEEP BEEEP" Me: (Turns off alarm 2) Me: (Walks to alarm 1 again.) Alarm 1: "Let's turn my solo into a duet! BEEEP BEEEP BEEEP BEEEP!" Alarm 2: "You read my mind! BEEEP BEEEP BEEEP BEEEP!"

Read about this in John Vaillant's book Fire Weather. Thx.

So high rises have special doors which can probably last for hours and the heat detectors or smoke detectors would tell you and theres a special strip which will swell on the door with heat ant no let smoke r anything in and theres door closers that is code to have so this video is not very accurate and its better to stay unless smoke or the fire is in the room or affecting you

You just made a flamethrower out of an apartment complex and an open window. Just sayin

Excellent video, this is a topic that does not get nearly enough attention. The entire fire aftermath industry is need of improved safety standards, there is way too much potential for danger. People think the fires out so the dangers gone but they are dead wrong, close to the same levels of ppe are almost needed during and after the fire. This is all stuff I have learned after going through my own house fire, and we have seen for ourselves how investigators, adjusters, and remediators all go in without even wearing a simple n95 despite modern fires producing some of the most toxic chemicals you could be exposed to.

such useful knowledge that can save lives. thanks so much

Am i the only one f**** up by this ??? He said how many of you think you are safer sleeping with the door open in a house fire ??? 🤔🤔🤔

i would be trying to get down to the lower parts of the building and if not i have a rope to lower on floor to another incase of fire or someone apartment to exit to get down or on the air bags or close to.

where can i find the results of these experiments please? the report link is dead

I wish I knew this before my house fire 2 months ago, I didn't know any better, now I have a devastating loss on my hands!

Nice earrings. 👍

As a firefighter from many moons ago I tell this to everyone. My wife thinks I’m crazy for so she’s been sent this video. Thank you

watching after accidentally starting a microwave fire

We always sleep with all doors closed 😊

We lock our bedroom door to ensure the fire can’t get in.

I'm glad they took piercing nozzles into consideration. I'd love for them to also consider foam application as well, since most modern fires involve petroleum in some way, such as charging cables, vinyl siding, pretty much anything that is built from plastic

OK, but they should’ve decorated both rooms the same, for a better comparison

why are all training videos in less that 360p

TRUE 100%

welp, I gotta write a paper on this so ill get to it.

Plan c should be to go to the third stairwell

I always wanted to burn things for some reason. And i was very curious how could snyone figure something out when the whole scene is destroyed

Its never the option to use the interior steps and fight your way down there. A relic from the past of the brain dead tactics that made up firefighting.

Jesus Loves You All

Soooo, in the event of a fire if you don't have a ladder to escape of a second floor or if you have small children or if you don't have a a family fire escape plan most probably you won't make it

It would be nice if you guys actually showed some of the data and findings on this study in the video instead of repeating the same thing 38759 different ways. Also, the link doesn't work and the study isn't available on the website.

We had a fire in our gas dryer…we weren’t home but I closed the laundry room door before we left. We came home smelled smoke and couldn’t figure it out. I looked in the dryer & it was black. I had a repair guy come take a look before we purchased a new drier. He said there definitely was a fire inside/under it but it extinguished itself because I closed that door. Had I not who knows what would have happened. I clean it regularly now & never dry clothes before bed or if we are leaving. After watching this I’m thankful both of our kids prefer to sleep with the bedroom doors closed

Hrm... I sleep with the bedroom door open, but the only reason I do is because I have cats. Who, regardless of which side of the door they're on, will inevitably want to be on the other side of it. They will cry loudly. They will bang on the door - I'm not even sure how they do this, but I suspect they reach a paw under and PULL it against the door jam. Until I stopped closing the door when sleeping, they made it impossible to get any sleep. How would a cat flap door affect fire safety?

Breaking a window isn't ventilation. it's just breaking a window. Doing that with old construction and old furnishings would have caused problems, as well. Ventilation is control of the air. Attempting control of the air by not creating a proper outlet for the fire (through fans or vertical ventilation) is dangerous. "Keep it rich" is an insane philosophy that must be destroyed.

His logic is still faulty. HE keeps saying they start with a aggressive interior attack and when and only when they don’t or can’t make any headway they changed tactics and used the outside line. Science and tactics have been proven time ad time again that with visible fire hit it from outside FIRST with a smooth or straight stream for approximately 15-20 seconds before even entering the building. It will not push the fire or smoke. Then transition to a interior attack. The FDNY was part of the studies with UL/NIST and they still can’t get it right.

And what happens if the fire starts within the bedroom? This video needs to state that it's only safe to sleep with the door closed if there is an alarm within the room. Fires can start from electrical outlets, faulty appliances, candles and any number of causes and if the bedroom door is closed and the person is sleeping in the room the likelihood of a fatality before the smoke gets out of the room to the alarm in the hallway is high

This is an advertisement for coordinated fire attack research, which I'm very interested in. I clicked the link to "read the report", but it's a bad link. I'm looking for the meat and potato's. I searched the FSRI website to no avail. What gives?

As a firefighter my self, a fire needs 3 things to burn, #1 fuel, #2 oxygen, #3 ignition source, if you notice threw the walk threw, the room that was burnt the most was the ONLY one with the window open, now if the window was closed like in the child's room with the bear on the bed, then both rooms would have almost been equal, anotherwards, the one with open window got more oxygen than the closed room, but the window would have fed enough oxygen down the hallway to consume them both in a somewhat RAPID session.
