Discovery Channel - Firefighter Backdraft Footage

[WilliamSummerbell]

this is clearly a back draft. just reading the smoke conditions you can tell, thick black, heavy smoke being sucked back into the fire...as soon as oxygen was reintroduced....boom!

They gained new knowledge? Seriously? They didn't know what a smoke explosion/backdraft was before this? Even Ron Howard knows.

snorkel shouldnt have been placed right there, of ALL people i didnt expect a firefighter to open the door, cops are good for kicking in the door

[aajurgy]

and fireman/emts are good for destroying evidence at a crime scene.

[avalonfireguy]

come with the territory. we dont have a choice. save a life/put fire out or DONT

[lpdoby]

Don't down-thumb this. Most of us in EMS and many of you in the fire service have destroyed evidence on a crime scene in order to do our jobs, myself included. Comes with the territory. And firefighters in the cities I work in used to be notorious for barging into unsafe scenes after being told to stage until police could arrive and advise that the scene is secure. They've gotten better about that over the last couple of years, though.
