*back draft safety video* *Instructor puts face directly in line of back draft* @08:35 Tell me I'm not the only one that noticed 😂

[@TheBulian1]

When I was 20 years old, living in Sudbury, my neighbours house caught on fire. I watched the firefighters doing their thing. Two fighters were on the roof, and when they cut a hole in it, it was light an explosion. Fire spewed out 20 feet into the air like a blow torch. I felt the heat from across the street. What was so crazy though, was the fire fighters, who were completely engulfed in it, continued on working like it was nothing. It blew my mind, how 2 people completely on fire, could go about their business like it was nothing. It really made me appreciate how dangerous the job is, and the grit fire fighters must have.

[@Medievalfan94]

Notice how after he closes the door after the backdraft at 7:45 the smoke on the roof changes from thin white smoke to thick fat dirty brownish yellow smoke. Also, the smoke comes through every gap in the top window. This is something to alert you when you approach a burning building: There is heat and fuel, just not enough oxigen. Be careful about venting.

[@FingerinUrDaughter]

they pretty much do actually. most firefighters start as children volunteering to go get themselves killed. the ones who survive end up being fire fighters because it pays far better than most jobs, has no real requirements, and you get the "hero" factor for doing something you get paid for. protip: heroes arent doing things for a paycheck.

[@HeavyWindBreakGlass]

@@thejohn6614 Bro, both of those comments were sarcasm lol. But to get serious, judging by basic grilling and science, you'd close everything off to smother the flame as much as possible. Of course that depends on the size of the flame already.

[@clarkt9925]

I saw a video where firefighters used a 15 or so foot long shipping crate to demonstrate backdraft. It was massive and incredibly loud and powerful. Is it possible to get a powerful backdraft from that smaller scale house? If you have a smaller ventilation hole, will the backdraft be more powerful or do you just need a greater volume of smoke?

[@LucasSoaresy]

Smaller hole would mean more time to the backdraft to occur. The greater the smoke volume the greater the backdraft

[@_riccee3140]

imagine someone called the fire emergency for this house

[@captainedc]

What he keeps doing is deprivating the fire of oxygen when it's got tons of fuel. Basically making it burn too RICH. Then he feeds it oxygen creating a back draft scenario and it fires back up. He was lucky that one time he didn't burn his face.

[@lunchboxproductions1183]

foramagasobeselettucepurplergasmup Facial hair actually protects you in a fire, I saw the results of a LPG explosion and the only parts of the guy's face and torso that didn't get third degree burns requiring skin grafts were those protected by his beard and moustache. The skin in those areas looked virgin, no injury at all.

[@Regular_Thomas]

Somehow I think he'd be use to smoke, fire and heat being a firefighter

[@TakeAsNeeded4Pain]

Maybe that's why he put his visor down right before?

[@blakeberry182]

Lunchbox Productions it may protect your skin, but your mask won't seal to your face properly if you have facial hair.

[@timnone2924]

any guy who has facial hair below the lip isnt a firefighter, you cant wear the gear correctly with facial hair

[@k.chriscaldwell4141]

What he fails to explain is that a backdraft is not the fire's fuel exploding into flame, but carbon monoxide (CO/Woodgas) from incomplete combustion. When oxygen is limited or cutoff, a fire's fuel will continue to oxidize/burn, creating higher concentrations of highly flammable CO instead of carbon dioxide (CO2) gas. When oxygen is restored, the CO can/will explosively oxidize. Additional fact, what we call flames are actually a second combustion event. Flames are the result of rapid oxidation of exhausted gases (mostly CO) from the first combustion. A wood fire is the oxidization of the wood fuel, which then throws off copious amounts of CO that then oxidizes into flames.

Favorite bit of the video was using the full-sized fire hose to put out a burning doll house. *BWOOSH!* Very interesting video, though, well made.

[@WillArtie]

What scares me is that it seems unpredictable. I mean, we know the conditions that make a backdraft, but when those conditions get met are hidden within the structure until you open a section/window etc. Like around 9:20. How do you know, when you get to a scene, if the thing is going to try kill you or not? Edit: and what if you are on a crane near the roof at 9:50? Can making a hole put you in danger? Guess that's why I'm not a fire-fighter...

[@LucasSoaresy]

Some signs that firefighters can use to identify a backdraft: First of all, keep in mind that to occur a backdraft the smoke has to be very hot and concentrated enough with combustible, only lacking the O2 to ignite. 1 - Khaki/beige, dense and turbulent smoke getting out violently from upper openings 2 - Air being "sucked in" the building, you can see it and also hear a whistle sound 3 - The presence of flameover (smoke getting out the building and instantly igniting), which means: The smoke that gets out of the building is hot and has combustible enough to burn and it will burn as soon as O2 enters the game 4 - High temperature doors, door handles and walls indicates that the inside of the building is very hot 5 - You will hear stuffy noises, due to the high density smoke 6 - Windows will look oily, due to soot and water mixture (products from the combustion)

Children at Play. Open the windows at the fire room to release the pressurized heat and gasses and then apply Tank Water to the burning material. The fire is knocked down within one minute of arrival. With the release of heat and gasses and the application of water, you can't have a flashover or backdraft. It is only when you PLAY at your JOB that you can create them. Grow Up people and do your JOBS! "Stop The Threat As Fast and Safe as possible while using the least amount of water."
