Das ist ein Flashover!

I think it was a backdraft. Look closely and you will see that the intial igntion occurs outside the room.

That was not a backdraft it was the office flashing over. It was in the early 70's, It was in a warehouse in the 1700 block of Evelyn just east of York. The slab is still there. It was in Memphis and it was a 2nd alarm fire you could only ladder it from three sides. By todays standards there is a lot of things they could have done different but few big cities did in those days. I was on thew job there in the 70's. In those days paramedics rode ambulances

This is the Memphis Fire Dept, back when men were men and only men were firemen.

A flashover is when everything is ignited at one point around 1000 degree's. backdraft is when the fire doesn't have enough oxygen then when all the Oxygen is introduced everything lights up

So you punched out a window for ventilation. Was that before or after you noticed you were standing in a lake of gasoline?

[Note: these are simplified explanations]
A backdraft takes place when air is introduced into a superheated gas environment which has become ventilation-controlled. The fire gases (smoke to explain in simple terms) ignites with violent force.
A flashover takes place when all the combustible elements in a compartment reach ignition temperature and all start burning at about the same time. This is does not imply a deflagration or explosion. Search YouTube for sample videos.
