Flash Fire Industries is Connecticut's premier firefighter mobile training trailer. Capable of Forcible Entry, Roof Ventilation, Window Evolutions, Bailout, Confined space, and much more!
Thank you for posting this video. Even as an animation it's apparent how balloon framing, old or new, is hazardous to firefighters.

Vertical ventilation is a needed step, you just better make the cut in the proper area so you don't spread the fire. Both Vertical and Horizontal has it's place

Regarding Radio pocket use in coats. Department SOG in my opinion should require the use of radio straps which would end guys taking radios home at change of tours in a career setting Even Volunteers can clear a call with a radio in their coats. I also don’t like a $7500 radio in a coat depending on a Velcro strap before it ejects from a coat. I’m a fan of a properly fitted strap where the guys can feel the two distinct different feeling buttons. The new Motorola remote heads have volume and frequency change buttons on the remote mic the radio head is not even in play anymore unless you gotta jump a bank.

You just proved that vertical ventilation allows the fire to spread through the structure better. Horizontal Ventilation would allow the fire to take a direct path OUT of the structure. Oh and, you'd be surprised how much water would help the situation.
@flashfireindustries71962 жыл бұрын
We show vertical ventilation over the fire does not let the fire spread. But vertical ventilation remote from the fire absolutely will.cause the fire to spread. This is a ventilation demonstration not a water application demonstration. If you are not applying water on the fire you should not be performing any ventilation unless it is directly involved to save a life.

@@JB91710 improper horizontal ventilation can be just as destructive as a wrongly placed vertical. There is no set standard for which type is the best they both have pros and cons, in your initial scene size up your should determine which type and were you will place it. This video is only for show how improperly marking your cut is going to drastically change your fire conditions as well as your flow path.

@@cambamwardamn1468 Videos about Vertical Venting are nothing but roof cuts. There isn't one video that shows and explains how, where and when it works. Under the best of conditions and circumstances, VVing takes way to long to perform, puts firefighters at unnecessary risk and only makes the fire inside worse. All you have to do is Think about that to understand it. Opening the fire room window and applying water from the outside is fast, safe and draws the heat and smoke away from the rest of the house and victims instead of through it and towards the victims. Anybody who thinks VVing is a good tool, needs their head examined.
This could have been a great demo...needed work on audio pre-visualization of ventilation scenarios

Typical american problem, they still construct homes out of 2x4 match sticks to this day, with an average lifespan of 30 years if it doesn't catch fire. Here in civilesed Europe we live in brick and stone buildings that have lasted for centuries, and will last many more.

Stone is a bad choice in where there's earthquakes. If we put your stone house in the west coast, it would be unrepairable in a few years.

Typical European pretentiousness. It is not as if we don't have brick buildings in the US, in fact most structures in my home city of Chicago are brick and mortar. You also wrongly assume that it is "just the US" that builds wooden homes, or that we are the only place on earth that has a high turnover rate. Perhaps you should go visit Canada, Australia, Japan, among many other countries that have ample access to lumber and have long histories building with it. Don't make your lack of natural resources a flex because it isn't one. Our lumber industry is also one of the most sustainably managed in the world. You can build lumber homes to be fire resistant, and new lumber types like CLT and Glulam are building materials that aren't just being used in the US now but also are gaining popularity in Europe (see: mass timber buildings, CLT homes, etc.). These also have excellent fire resistance and safety. Yes, there are a lot of poorly built homes in the US, but these are typically mass produced homes in suburbia. That is not to say that Europe knows no such poor construction. Don't be an elitist clown. It's a bad look.

The difference here in America is Mass production everyone has a house. I have a house and so does all of my other family members you europeans all live in the same house. you are limited by your infrastructure. Just like your roads you cant get a semi truck in your country because you are limited by the past.

I live in a fairly typical wood-frame American home in the suburbs that's easily double the size of the average home in Europe. In the extremely remote chance that it ever burns down, I'll build an even bigger one on the same spot. Meanwhile, I've got 3 large bedrooms, a home office, 3 full baths, a large kitchen, a dedicated laundry room and a 2 car garage to enjoy.
