Shan Raffel has served as a career firefighter in Brisbane since 1983. In 1994, 2 of his colleagues were killed in the line of duty. The Coroner’s report was unable to identify the 2 extreme fire events that cause severe burns, dislocating them from the hose line and rendering them unconscious. In 1996, two other colleagues were seriously injured after being caught in an extreme fire event. His research led to an extensive study at leading training institution in Sweden and the UK. Since developing the 1st nationally recognized CFBT program in Australia, he has assisted numerous fire services around the world to develop training facilities, instructors, and teaching materials. His “Churchill Fellowship” on “Planning Preparation & Response to Emergencies in Tunnels” included 10 weeks with leading fire services, training centres and tunnel operators in the USA (FDNY), Canada, Germany, Austria, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, and Switzerland.

Brilliant video , great technique !
Hi
Agreed!
Definately a game changer!
A very visual and scary example! Very possibly what happened at the fire that destroyed the water park Liseberg Oceana, in Gothenburg, Sweden, on February 12 -24.
I can’t get in touch with the US company,they don’t answer the phone,what can I do?
I asked the Australian company to follow up for you. cleanspacetechnology.com/contact/
Hi
Does this cause face creases
Lesson Learned: Close the door. Keep it close.
I think it's good to do backdraft training and at least know what they are. Backdrafts are incredibly rare, and most firefighters go a career without seeing one, but they're still incredibly dangerous if they do happen.
And were do we see the difference explained between a Flashover and a Backdraft in this video?
OK. Good point:( I need to do another video, or do some editing.
why U make it that way?
Sorry, I dont understand your question.
Fantastic
Amazing!!!
Great work 👍🏼
Thanks for sharing!
What do you call that pan?
Super sprawa
I can see the passion!
Fantastic!
We are still waiting.
i really miss this bloke
Fantastic training facility by our Italian colleagues.....
Amazing job, from one of the planet's BEST instructors....
Groaznic si înfricoșător

When was this video recorded? Absolute classic!
Around 1999:)
I just now happened to come across these videos of Dad, miss him so much. Thank you for posting them ❤️
It is so nice to see your comment Bronwyn. I miss him too. He was an inspiration in many ways.
Dragons bring really bad luck
Finally, this video has reappeared on YT. Thank you for this amazing presentation !
Backdraft chellenge. Do they rise the scorecards after each new burst? lol
I received a 9.5, 8 and a 10:):):)
@@ShanRaffel my father was a fireman, my grandfather was a fireman and here I am who affraid even of climbing a hook ladder))) Look on you with admiring envy, guys. Every time when big red engines with the sirens appear on the roads people understand that they need you every day.
@@dimaleoniv7987 You have a very good pedigree my friend. And just between the 2 of us, hook ladders are my LAST resort:):)
Great video
It’s wonderful to see Jeff, like this. I was one of his main carers after he sustained his SCI and was with him in his final moments 😢 He was such a humble man, and it was very interesting when he explained this concept of fire control, to me, during one of my shifts with him. He was very interesting to talk to, especially in regards to inventing gadgets. I learnt so much from him and is a client/friend that I deeply miss working with. He had a huge impact on so many lives...
Thanks Cait. He was a source of inspiration to me in many ways. I cherish the time I spent with him on shift and the countless hours we shared trying to make the fire service safer and more efficient. Most of all, he was a man of honour and integrity.
@@ShanRaffel Firstly- Thank you for all that you do with fire fighting, because I understand first hand the sheer terror of being in a house fire when I was just 12 years old and relying on the help of fire fighters to make sure we were ok. Coincidentally Jeff probably attended that fire, that night, which destroyed most of my grandparents house. He was full of stories, and was a great story teller, at that. He often had me in fits of laughter. I was guttered for a long time that I wasn’t able to save him, the night he passed... everything happened so quickly. But please know, I tried my absolute hardest to, along with his wife. Some clients have more of an impact on me than others, but Jeff’s optimistic attitude to life (and I only knew him post SCI) was very inspirational, considering the adversities he faced. I too, feel blessed to have known him.
@@caitjp I have an inner feeling that Jeff was in the best possible hands. I know he is in a better place. I have the greatest respect for people who dedicate themselves to caring for people in need. So, massive thanks and respect to you. We spend our entire working life preparing for a situation where we can save a precious human life from an advancing fire. There is no greater inspiration. Sadly, in spite of our best efforts, we don't always succeed. I have learnt how important it is to accept this and to stay motivated and focussed.
@@ShanRaffel Thank you so much for your kind and comforting words. I like to believe everyone you come across, can teach you something, in life. 👍🏻
Sadly, The website link is no longer working sir
Respects always.
Hi, my name is Riccardo Garofalo I think the CAFS is a good choice for fast foam on hose but, you can reach the same resalt in interior fire attack with the water an weting agent without this expensive gadget. With solid stream even long distance like cafs.
Holy hell!! Was that jjust incomplete combustion getting oxygen? I thought the movie was totally exaggerating. Looks like it can be even worse!
oooooooooooooooooooooo ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
👍 fire fighter korea
This is a version of a PPT presentation I made at the International Fire Instructors conference held at International Fire Instructors Conference, IFV Arnhem, Netherlands.
We use very similar techniques in the UK..... Very little water, maximum effect 👍
Excellent Shan! We need more learn to read combustion gasses and the differents situations. Thanks teacher
Thanks for the support Jesus.
Shan, have you any footage of water mist being introduced to the airflow?
No but we did try it and it did improve the efficiency slightly. We felt that the extra weight of water and some way of injecting it into the airstream was not really worth it. The blower works best by actually starving the fire. The burning material, along with any unburnt fuel is pushed back into the blackened area. Could work if you could supply the water spray from an ATV or similar.
13:50 Notice how the wide cone at a distance prevented the gasses from coming out the window which means they were forced into the structure. When he stepped up to the window and inserted the nozzle, the gasses had room to escape.
Put the water on the burning material and you will eliminate the flames. No flames? No harmful steam! Adjust the nozzle cone as wide as possible to cover the greatest area while Still penetrating the energy of the fire or wind.
QFES?
Americans or Aussies?

Well done
Would love to see that presentation, great work
Do you have the full film of this documentary?
pretty impressive :O
Y'all are the bravest of the brave.
