  • @K1NO2 I read it a few times ... where does it say its a backdraft?

  • @DowntownOne I'm goiing to quote from a book written by a swedish fire-engineer. This book is practically known as the bible of firefighting in Sweden. ''When a room opens, air will enter and mix with the flamable gases in the room. To ignite there will have to be a source of iginition in the premix-region. The ignition can take place at different times of the event (..)

    1. When the air is entering the room

    2. When it leaves the room

    3. With a long delay after it has left the room''

  • @K1NO2 it has nothing to do with american vs not american. You are incorrect and are trying to play the nationalism card. Backdrafts are always instantaneous, end of story. I have found no (as in NONE) videos where a recognized expert with legit credentials from ANY country stating that backdrafts occur on any kind of a delay. Bottom line, one you introduce oxygen rapidly into a compartment where the fire has decayed to the incipient stage, a backdraft INSTANTLY occurs.

  • @DowntownOne How about I just say that there are also a HUGE amount of videos on youtube showing delayed backdrafts, and if you search for it's you most likely will find a few.

    And regarding those experts from North America: there are a number of people who overall have thrown a bullshit flag on them, and some of the methods used by american firefighters, so sorry, I don't trust that! So in conclusion: Bullshit me all you want, but you need to drop the american "we-know-it-all" attitude

  • @K1NO2 I'm throwing the bullshit flag on this one. Send me the names of the Swedish fire behavior experts that are teaching you that a backdraft can be delayed. I will look them up and do the homework. I would especially like a link to any reference material that refers to air bouncing off of walls, etc like you mentioned. If you would like me to link you to several fire behavior experts from North America talking about backdrafts being instantaneous, I will.

  • @DowntownOne I would but it's all in swedish, so I doubt you'd understand it

  • @K1NO2 None of that makes sense whatsoever. This has no sign of a backdraft, not the smoke color, not the building "breathing", etc ... No signs of a backdraft. Link me to any reference material or any expert commenting on a "delayed" backdraft occuring in a vented building fire.

  • @DowntownOne Oh, but it could. It sure as hell doesn't have to accour in an instant. It could happen when the airflow enters the opening, when it bounces of a wall or when it's heading back torwards the opening. It could happen in seconds, it could also take a minute or so.

  • "I am enginist I don't need securetyclothes." "I am Homer simpson, I don't need handshoes to touch the high voltage."

    GET IT! Wear the right clothes!
