They don't go into it if it isn't safe, and when every level of the building is on fire, it isn't safe anymore. They could easily go through a floor or have a ceiling come down on them.
Our department did the same thing. I have a couple of videos showing our burn. Its great experience for the new guys who have never seen real fire. It allows for ventilation, forcible entry, exposure protection and interior attack.
Can't beat a live burn when it is done correctly, which this was. Good job.
One class I was in, we practiced Fire Suppression and hose Venting inside of a concert structure at a Bigger Citys FD training ground. When we did out final Live burn, we would sit in the room with two hose lines at the ready, light the corner and watch it go over our heads, then put it out. And finally let the whole building go up.
This was part of an all day training evolution. There were probably 20-30 firefighters that took part. Each room was lit and then the crews entered and trained according to the evolution (ventilation, supression, fire development, etc.). The house was slated for demolition and the owner graciously donated it to the FD to save on demolition costs and to give the FF's a live fire training experience.
thats cool. i wish somebody would donate a house for my department to use, we could really use some action! at least they didn't just stand there and let it burn
probably because the house was supposed to be demolished anyways, so why not let the people protecting the city practice suppression techniques in a real situation. Just a thought. :)
well the video i was watching, no supression techniques were being practiced other than watching it. im all for burning up an old house if your actually going to train INSIDE of the building, not just let it burn to the ground and gain nothing from it
pretty cool video but dose that break osha laws to have a live burn but Im just wondering and was there any firefighters in the building putting out the flame Stockport,Ny Fire Co. explorer Mike
My question is why no one was wearing a pack when the house was lit off. I have scene many of incidents when the instructor was burned or killed because of a poor calculation of conditions vs accelerant used.
Glad so see no one was injured
When I film a class the instructor to vent the structure so the video camera can pick-up the action without the heavy smoke at floor level.

I hope they aren't burning houses down that could have been fixed up and donated.

it's burning WAY too fast, probably all made of wood and no brick walls.

Nicely controlled burn. Very well done.

they were probably trying to demonstrate how a fire spreads in a typical structure. but i do agree, they should've taken some crews in and practiced

my question is why burn a house if no one is going to go inside and train with fire supression techniques... kind of pointless in my opinion.
