[lilchink901]

it does flashover at 4:57

[blahblahblah10397]

@fidny you are wrong hate to say it but you could only survive for 3 to 4 seconds

[fidny]

That wasn't a backdraft, that was a flashover. A backdraft is when a fire burns itself out after depleting the oxygen in the room, the backdraft occurs when oxygen is reintroduced and a brief but violent explosion takes place. A flashover is when a fire reaches a certain temperature that all the contents, including the smoke flash into flame. A flashover is not survivable, a firefighter fully bunkered up can only survive 11 to 17 seconds and that is with serious burns. Basically giving you enou

[MultiCubs22]

Don't u people no wat starts a brackdraft!? Watch the movie... even though it was made by hollywood it was a real and not fake backdrafts

[jihli1191]

idk when this was made but modern couches go up a lot quicker then that one

[1122jamil]

nice work



[1122jamil]

nice work

[miss343151]

i've seen plenty of fire first hand this is nothing....so many brush fires here its NOT funny! last one took 4,000sqft barn and alomost the house only by God did it survive! it didnt even have soot on the back. And the flames touched it i saw them! and the county should STOP posting burn bans! people do it on purpose then. We saw the man who did it. but because of the law we couldnt prove it. but we know it get lit there evry few yrs and next time I will be waiting with my camera...

[Sh4d0wKat]

Have a Holly Jolly Christmas...

[OriginalStrikingPuma]

That stuff animal rabbit took that fire like a champ.

[MegaClone123]

Lol what if a fire started while you were watching this and you thought the sounds were the video :P this video is DEADLY!

[TheSoundDesign]

Its scary how much light tat smoke stops

[NewsatRostock]

Very good video. One of the best.

[pedro335500]

3 peoples houses burnt down because they didnt know how fast it can happen

[chinchillas1000]

@pedro335500 That's sad, but true.

[Henipah]

Terrifying.

[tobeasty100]

that hose should have been 1 3/4 inch

[js111410]

Who put a camera in my house!

[t26ify]

Merry Christmas!

[TheoNickson]

Holy crap, that first room went fast! Excuse me a moment while I check my fire alarm...

[TheoNickson]

@TheoNickson Done, and relocated directly above my bedroom door.

[hattrick0313]

Just think. With all the new windows and doors. Energy saving. Dont let anything out. It could be quicker then 30 seconds now.

[gregly]

@hattrick0313 Actually, given that they seal the air in tighter, it is more likely that the fire would use up the majority of the room's oxygen and die out, or at worst smoulder longer instead of flashing over as quickly.

[themousk]

@gregly It'd wait for an oxygen supply such as a door/window being opened then you got a backdraft situation.

[trccvox]

@themousk Fire doesn't have to have an opening for a backdraft. If it's hot enough and being starved for oxygen it will find some, thus creating a backdraft.

[1992pattrow]

That's it. Time to make a fake living room just to burn it.

[daleksec53]

FIRE?! -Facebook Update-

[gazamused]

The last vid was a flashover, but at the end when the BA team are entering the smoke starts to pulsate, indicating a backdraft.

[kdub0911]

Moral of the story dont get a christmas tree

[ags813]

And that's why its called the belly of the beast.

[tubulus3]

I bet someone is masturbating to this right now. And that someone is me.

[soccadude123]

@tubulus3 WTF!!!!!  lol

[CustomDeluxe1984]

@tubulus3 youre fuckin weird

[TKGMALICE]

@tubulus3 lmfao

[smarttubber123]

damn that took off quick!

[nevershoutjuan]

The door caught on fire!! Poor door R.I.P Fuck the rest :'(

[durtastic007]

Flash Over is at 1:05 btw, see how the lamp table just lights ups with no fire around it

[Jet390]

I love how it billows out of the room at the end!

[MrBigeasy91]

so pretty yet so destructive

[TheOdilo587]

in brazil is 193 call

[Basejumping]

Great video!!!

[yeller4561]

really small fires turn out BIG

[LAFD27explorer]

@yeller4561 I know right. The christmas tree goes up so fast. The first fire rigs on-scene would not be there for another 3 to 4 minutes after that whole room goes up. That is incredible. I have watched it so many times and i still can't get enough of it.

[nythreefer]

damn thats fast

[firedude911]

damn that bunny is a trooper !!!!!! lasted like 41 seconds before it caught on fire

[xwchades]

as a jounior fire fighter you should know what a flash over is before you are permittited to going into a structure

[gazamused]

@xwchades Did you spot the potential backdraught at the end of the clip?

[sirstanley09]

now, i have a question.. im a junior fire fighter. does the flashover burn on the ceiling and blackout the entire room? and when fighting a flashover, dont spray at the throat? only the flame? im confused... someone send me a message back please rofl

[resodris]

@sirstanley09

a flash over is when the whole room is at it's combustion point.

a flame over/roll over is when the unburnt particals in the air combust.

I just got out of my annual fire school at Teex in College Station TX.

[leethebee5]

@sirstanley09

The flashover is the term used when everything in the room ie. the furniture, carpets and the carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide combust. Its no longer a fire in a room but, a room on fire. The smoke you see at the start on the top of the ceiling that falls to the ground and the clear air at the bottom is called the neutral plain and the fire that uses oxygen to burn uses all of that to fuel the fire. When its used up, it uses the co2 and carbon monoxide hense the room flashing

[sirstanley09]

@leethebee5 to fight against something like that, you spray the ceiling? because you dont want in to get over u, and hot air rises cold air sinks?

[Plur307]

@leethebee5

CO2 can't burn. Combustion by definition produces CO2 as a byproduct. But you are correct that a flashover is when the smoke and other gases combust. Plenty of flammable fumes are produced in a fire. CO2 just isn't one of them.

[nuclearseall]

@Plur307 ur wrong. A flashover is wen all the fuel material in the room auto-inflame by it self due to the room temperature. And a backdraft is wen all the gases combust, due to a opening of a window/door...something that give oxigen to the misture very fast....and then they explode.

[MrKennethwatson1]

@nuclearseall you're close, you're argument would be better if you knew how to spell and use the correct terminology but you've got the basic principle. flashover occurs when all materials in a space pyrolyze and ignite almost simultaneously. nothing "auto-ignites" as i think you were posturing, fire is dependent upon the factors of the tetrahedron. a backdraft occurs when the only element missing from the fire tetrahedron is oxygen, when available, monumental flashover occurs.

[firefightenkid]

@sirstanley09 nah you just hit the seat of the fire and the rest of the that's burning the gas will go out pretty cool actually. You could probably find a video of it somewhere on here.

[wwe884]

was da toy bunny ok o.O

[atomicnortherner]

what a scary vid! i had no idea that in less than 10 seconds a fire could get that bad. even when you are taught about the dangers of fire at school your shown a naff video, this is way more hard hitting

[drsine]

great example of rollover and flashover; things that use firefighters embrace and fear all at the same time.

[ronepo]

great video!!

[mythicalness]

I don't know if anyone else noticed, but there is a fire in the living room!

[Shannelleke]

wow

[ulgl1234]

*go to refrigerator for 10 seconds* come back see this what do?

[theROFLpanda]

attempt to put it out, or call for someone who can make a more effective attempt

[ulliweber]

@ulgl1234: run!

[tman383]

@ulgl1234 I would stand there and go "La'fuu" Then gtfo fast

[tspragg1]

@ulgl1234 CALL 911 AND GTFO

[MikePostDrums]

@tspragg1 No. GTFO and THEN call 911!

[Darbalarb1]

@ulgl1234 GTFO man (Get the F*ck Out)

[beatlespersun]

How exactly does "flashover" happen? Is it because of flammability of materials, room temperature, or what?

[Gibby1776]

@beatlespersun a flash over occurs when the heat of the room reaches over 1300 degrees thus igniting the carbon monoxide. when a Flash-over occurs the flame travels at 8 ft per second

[beatlespersun]

@Gibby1776 Thanks for the new fact :)

[TheOnlyChubbyBunny]

@Gibby1776 Correction-The fire does not have to be at 1300 degrees due to the fact that the carbon monoxide is created from incomplete combustion.. thus lack of oxygen. All things have a different flash point based on the materials it is made out of. As you can see in this video room 1 reached flashover much quicker than room 2 due to the incomplete combustion.

[drsine]

@beatlespersun flash over occurs when everything in a room with a fire becomes super heated to it's "flash point" and ultimately it's "fire point". example: you have a fire in the corner of a room that's been burning for a while, that fire can super heat everything in that room to the point that everything bursts into flames all pretty much at the same time. We firefighters dont much care for flashover situations. one doesnt want to be around when flashover occurs.

[DiamondEyeProduction]

Happy Xmas. Make sure you have a smoke detector!

[mitchtay99]

nice job at the end

[hrdnoclfe]

WOW 5:00

[Tabby266]

@hrdnoclfe thats the smoke igniting.

[randomvideowatcher]

Talk about the hot seat.

[CashW90]

My reaction 3 seconds into the first experiment:

O_O

[TheSpeeddemosarchive]

amazing. Smoke carries a lot of heat too, can be over 600 celsius which ignites anything

[Nash1a]

Wow, that was a bit of a shock to see. The Pine tree went up so fast, I would have expected it to burn out before it could have caught anything else on fire; the same way a brush fire burns so quickly it doesn't usually ignite the trees overhead. But I guess , that's the nature of a confined space for you.

So glad you guys study this stuff to stay safe!

[Tabby266]

At the dry pine one the chances of survival would be extremley slim. Thats scary shit, man!

[Luxio1205]

I am unnecessary for first 33 seconds.

[Dude34meister]

i have just done a BA course for firefighting and learned all about flashovers,

they are damned scary things

[Kopihucky]

if you have just done... you havent learned all about them yet.

[Freddie88]

Holy shit!

[IXIslimjimIXI]

Just keep the tree watered and moist throughout....as you can see the christmas tree burned fast becuase it was dry and it flashed over within that 45 second period time frame so you have to be out of that room fast! It would be great if they had put in a temperature scale to show how hot it was in there but it would have been nearly 2000* degrees, this is why firefighters tell you to keep low from the heat and smoke inhalation. great video!

[derFabianG]

just be carfull

[brysoncj]

Never ever ever getting a Christmas tree ever again!

[chuckmanofgod]

If you ever want to get a real Christmas tree, make sure it is frequently watered. Having a dry scotch pine tree is just like having it soaked in gasoline.

[semiphez]

@brysoncj You can still get them, just keep them watered thoroughly, keep the soil damp at all times, and make sure the branches aren't drying out.

Also make sure you do the dummy test. Aka, make sure all lights work, none are flickering or out. And don't overuse the sockets.

Do these things and you will be fine.

[Adhesiveputty]

great video
