Thermal Images Of Firefighters Battling A 1200 Degree Fire

Firefighters battle a 1200 degree training fire during the initial testing of an engineered fire and containment system called Pandora's Box. The system which was developed by Division Chief Ray Altman of Boynton Beach Fire Rescue with the assistance of Battalion Chief James Schaffner of Palm Beach County Fire Rescue, allows for an aquired structure to be safely utilized for multiple burns without significant damage to the structure. The acquired structure in the video has been used for more than five days of live fire training. It has weathered more than 40 hours of live fire training. Damage to the house is generally limited to discoloration of dry wall via smoke damage.

@8firekid your not moving a signifacant enough amount of water to create any real effects from water hammer. If you shut of a deluge or 2.5'' quickly, after flowing for a minute or two, then you'll start to get water hammer.

@jerryaltman

Okay...I mis understood what you were getting at. LOL....I'm slow sometimes....well all the time.

@masonc07 I know that.... that's why a made a few joke about. Since the fire is hot, and the temperature is given by colors, as red the strongest colors indicating high temperatures, "jokeling speaking" the fire would be put out by converting to grayscale.

@jerryaltman  Its not grayscale...its called a thermal imaging camera. This is just what they look like.
