Fire Behavior 101 | Part 1

[@Boxalarmtraining]

Is Fire Behavior a topic that we rush through? I think many firefighters miss out on a good foundation of fire behavior.

[@TheTbevis]

Absolutely

[@tooldemoguy]

Absolutely. Let’s continue to refresh on the basics. Thanks Matt.

[@tarasweeney23]

100% Really enjoyed this video, just wondering if you'll be doing any more?

[@fraysermade876]

Any plans to continue this? Or any other new videos? I'm the training officer of a small VFD in North Mississippi and from time to time I use your videos as a training night.

[@MrTille]

Where's part 2?

[@Irish_Scout-56]

Volunteer firefighter here! Thank you so much! I’m currently preparing for my mod 3 in essentials and your videos are helping so much! Achieved mods 1 and 2 but due to life it’s been about 4 years since!

[@candlepigeons2412]

I'm not a fire fighter or anything like that, I'm just an 8th grader wanting to learn about fire and its properties, and this video is amazing thank you

[@Bob-dx3jh]

What do you take away or learned from the video?

[@BigDdaddy937]

Well if u want to be one when you become a young man you are the right track. Be disciplined in learning and disciplined in your health. Become a lifelong learner and always be humble. Even if you don’t pursue this path that philosophy will lead you into greatness and happiness buddy. God bless

[@Romain-Racer28]

You should join junior firefighting, I find it more common for volunteer departments to have a junior firefighter program.

[@jimsmith8797]

Just don’t play with fire

[@maxstreim4612]

Just what I was looking for. Tonight's my first night on duty crew. Thank you for the informative video look forward to learning more.

[@arrestedmemories]

Reading through a Fire Dynamics textbook and a lot of the points didn’t click until I watched your video. Very informative and precise and the real world examples you use are great. Thank you.

[@skylarkaitaylor3581]

I came on here because my brain wasn't absorbing the book and this helped so much that i subscribed

[@garylok1746]

I am taking a Fire Behavior course and your presentation helped me visualize airflow, ventilation, flowpaths, and fire behavior. Great presentation!

[@anthonyventi1579]

I’m teaching fire chemistry tomorrow, I believe you just did my first 20 minutes of class for me 🙏🏽

[@karsenandrews7441]

currently in fire academy and listened to this otw to school! thanks!!

[@SocialistDistancing]

I'm not a firefighter, but have participated in some small town volunteer depts. Also was a caretaker for a 46 suite building. Knowledge can make all the difference in the world. I'm looking forward to the next videos.

[@JackieBartonAVO]

Hey Capt Need more videos. You do a awesome job breaking things down.

[@jacekkubiak4616]

A good way to learn english and prévention fire conséquences. Thank KZbin from France Lyon

[@zacstephen6197]

This is a great video. You just explained where I was confused in my textbook.

[@andrewgrierson9126]

Great video! Looking forward to the next one.

[@rupertrussell1]

Excellent presentation. I will look up your other content.

[@PaulFisherNYC]

Great video Matt, looking forward to the rest of the series. You're a great teacher, thanks for doing this.

[@Boxalarmtraining]

Thanks, much appreciated.

[@heyhey2810]

great video keep piostin

[@thatstimboiii5489]

I'm going to school to get my fire science degree in the fall and I appreciate this educational video I wanna become as knowledgeable as possible before starting the class

[@andrewsstation6436]

Good luck! Hope it goes well!

[@thatstimboiii5489]

@@andrewsstation6436 thank you! I'm very excited new chapter in my life

[@ladyscarfaceangel4616]

I enjoyed learning all this! Thanks! I have no interest in joining the FD but I like to learn these things anyway b/c information can save lives. I remember my husband & I driving down the road one day & seeing a ton of thick, black smoke coming from a garage fire. My hubby was driving, so I dialed 911 to report it & we pulled up to see if we could help in anyway. I understand citizens can get in the way & cause more damage sometimes, but we still check b/c we are human. We see a barking dog chained to the garage. Naturally, we try to free the dog with all this chaos going on around us. At this point, my hubby's working on the chain & here comes some other bystandars also just trying to help. The guy's heart was in the right place, he just wanted to see if anyone was inside. I noticed him proceeding to break the window. Before I could yell, "NO!", he busted the window out with a rock & this huge flame comes shooting out right over my hubby's head! I'm panicking, but my hubby doesn't see it or know what's going on b/c he's just consumed in getting that dog loose. Thankfully, my hubby wasn't hurt, but he easily could've been. He managed to free the dog & doggo was also unharmed. You can't be angry with someone just trying to help but he shouldn't have done that with us being so close to that window. Myself, my hubby, & possibly the dog too, could've all been toast if we weren't bent over trying to get the dog free. All it takes are the right set of circumstances all coming together to create a disaster.

[@thatmidkid.1631]

Yeah I think that's called venting? I'm not sure. I think firefighters use it to get the fire away from the place where the victim is and outside. Your husband and you has lots of courage!

[@themetamentors]

Great video, concise and great examples! Learned lots

[@user-es1qt2ib2p]

Excellent video. Thank you, Sir.

[@jasonreardon241]

Nice video Matt brought me back to my fire school days

[@Boxalarmtraining]

Thanks!

[@SumSouuthernSugar]

Very well done. I'm way too old to ever be a firefighter but I enjoy watching firefighting videos on youtube. I have learned a lot about it and find it very interesting. Those 3 or 4 guys just loafing around outside the front door are not really loafing at all buy are the standby rescue crew for the firefighters in the structure. ;-)

[@rgman2858]

Going through fire 1 right now and this was extremely helpful

[@lloyddy2518]

thanks for this very informative video. been a year now, but looking forward to part 2!

[@koby685]

Been another year looking forward to pt2

[@MrCODzombieslayer]

Just found you and this video. It's amazing and super educational. Can't wait to see more. I'm left speechless!!

[@benads.6061]

Dear Matt, Great video. I hope that you plan to produce more such videos in the future Thank you for your time and effort

[@Boxalarmtraining]

I hope so too!

[@wawansharpone7341]

Very informative explanation and easy to understand the english.

[@danconnors8961]

great video!

[@_year-sb6sy]

Gah no I need this series to happen !

[@MarkCrocker-y8p]

I enjoyed Part 1, but cant seem to find part 2...did you do a second part?

[@thomasjones1687]

Mr Matt i LOVE your videos. I’ve learned so much and applied a lot of what I’ve learned from you to my operations on the fire ground. With that being said, would you consider making a video on how to prepare for the academy? Keep up the good work. I always look forward to seeing you pop up in my sub notifications

[@aaronreaves9627]

I’m asst cheif and showed the video to my guys very helpful do you plan on doing a part 2

[@rogerabalos]

Are there plans to complete a Part II?

[@Tsaajid]

the flame is technically a plasma if it reaches ionization temperatures, great video. Thanks!

[@bradfriedmeyer8230]

When will the other parts, like part 2 and so on, be available on here?

[@anthonychampagne6239]

Very informative. I'm 17 and I want to be a firefighter but idk where to start. Any tips?

[@connorforhan1606]

See if your local department has an explorer or cadet program. Best thing to do is go to the firehouse and introduce yourself before a training. Often times they will love to teach you more and get you on track to becoming a firefighter.

[@callsignvulture0571]

Learn how to fight and attempt to throw hands with fire

[@prefectscoreclubinc3030]

Joim your local volunteer fire dept..

[@ky_coalminer1685]

Visit your Local Fire Department. And ask to join. I know how my department we vote on prospecting members.

[@ke0wnenathanmixon400]

You can look up where/ when your next local fire academy is.

[@tylerk448]

Learned quite a lot in this video. Looking forward to future videos

[@plantinapot9169]

Listening for a Pokémon fanfic, thankyou!

[@joshuahollar9880]

Thank you for the video!

[@Boxalarmtraining]

Absolutely, thanks for watching.

[@johncarlcalumpag734]

What do you mean by the chemical chain reaction sir, there is an exact proportion of the elements to support the combustion? I hope to notify this question sir please 🙏.

[@שיזיגדון-ע3ד]

Great explanation. There is more?

[@vanvillaroya3861]

Very informative I really love your explanation. ❣️

[@tooldemoguy]

Matt, are you able to provide the PDF,/Powerpoint in the description or on your website? I was hoping I'd find an attachment somewhere for the fire behavior and reading smoke videos... Thanks, brother

[@nja3224]

This was great, looking forward to Part 2 and other related videos. I took the FDNY test way back, I think 1982 but they wound up throwing that list out due to a law suit. Anyway, I have one son who works for a ladder company in Manhattan, and another set to graduate the fire academy in 2 weeks. For me, all I wanted to be was a firefighter, but I wanted to get into arson, investigating fires. I don’t know why, but that was my goal. I was amazed at how investigators can tell where a fire started, whether accelerants were used or not and what kind, etc. Fire science seems so fascinating, and no, I’m not a closeted fire bug or a wannabe. Fire is mesmerizing, life saving, and life taking all at the same time. How can you not be interested in it? It can be both captivating and frightening as heck. Hmmm, maybe I do have some issues. 😀 Anyway, thanks for putting this out there. I remember the fire triangle from test prep classes. 👍

[@Boxalarmtraining]

Very cool, thanks for commenting.

[@matiaguayovaldes5772]

Great video! Helped me a lot. Really. Thank u Matt

[@Boxalarmtraining]

Thanks!

[@emmanuel-in-greece6954]

This was great, do you plan to continue the series?

[@madworldfan123]

Where did you go? It's been 4 years since your last video

[@potatokitty]

I am considering becoming a firefighter, currently 18 and in school, and I wanted to know if you have any fitness tips before I plan on joining. (I live in the UK)

[@dangerousrobot9692]

It was a great video and i learned a lot. Please make more. Liked n Subbed

[@Boxalarmtraining]

Thanks!

[@CaryCrites]

Hi Matt, do you have a Part 2 you could link out to? Thanks in advance

[@Boxalarmtraining]

I’ve been way behind but planning on getting Part 2 completed soon.

[@kelly5049]

The red Phos-Chek interrupts the Chemical Reaction, hence fire retardant.

[@AssassinToilet9]

Fantastic video

[@Boxalarmtraining]

Thanks!

[@Kingjohn2500]

Ty learned a lot!

[@Boxalarmtraining]

Thanks

[@TheWaynelds]

When is part 2 coming? I didn’t see any of the next parts on your channel anywhere.

[@redgreen7279]

I really enjoyed this education opportunity you provided. When or where can i find the rest of the series. I enjoy your style of teaching and wish to share it with my crew.

[@etholaytho8436]

Thanks

[@mateausantos8718]

Thank you

[@amberbishop5626]

Is there a part 2

[@connormagill4201]

So is pyrolysis a physical or a chemical term? What is the pyrolysis of gasoline? Volatility creates vapors which may flash or flame. Surely there would be no pyrolysis for the liquid gasoline... Would the term pyrolysis apply to the breakdown of gasoline molecules or would that just be called combustion?

[@jrsaldana1]

Only solids would go through pyrolysis. Woods is the best examples but so do plastics, etc. Class B fires that pertain to flammable liquids like gasoline emit vapors and that’s what goes into combustion when in contact with heat.

[@thehamd9299]

Wheres part 2!! :(
