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

[@CCPW_chicago]

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?

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@garylok1746]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@JackieBartonAVO]

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

[@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.

[@andrewgrierson9126]

Great video! Looking forward to the next one.

[@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

[@anthonyventi1579]

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

[@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!

[@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. ;-)

[@MrCODzombieslayer]

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

[@skylarkaitaylor3581]

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

[@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!

[@themetamentors]

Great video, concise and great examples! Learned lots

[@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!

[@jasonreardon241]

Nice video Matt brought me back to my fire school days

[@Boxalarmtraining]

Thanks!

[@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.

[@zacstephen6197]

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

Going through fire 1 right now and this was extremely helpful

[@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]

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

Listening for a Pokémon fanfic, thankyou!

[@dumbfvck2028]

Great video sir, I'm a volunteer firefighter from the Philippines. I just want to ask where do your old fire gears go in your country?

[@Boxalarmtraining]

It depends on the department. Some departments will allow their gear to be donated to local volunteer departments.

[@dumbfvck2028]

@@Boxalarmtraining thanks a lot sir. I'm just looking where I can get used gears so that I can help my fellow firefighters who doesn't have gears. Love your videos sir, helps me a lot

Great explanation. There is more?

[@amberbishop5626]

Is there a part 2

[@mateausantos8718]

Thank you

[@GreenLabLawncare]

Where is part 2 and 3??

[@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.

[@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.
