@poiuyt3251 Well the boat is open and the flames clearly have access to air. This would not produce a backdraft situation at all. Flashover, however is possible and probably closer to what they were trying to achieve (like a flashover room on water). We train for the worst and since he lived, this is actually a good thing. Better have it happen here than on a call. Personally, when I train, I want it to be the worst conditions as possible...you know, without getting severely injured.

@TXs14 true, but if it is a "common" exercise I would dare to suggest that somebody would of figured out by now that gasoline is a bad idea. Also, there are parts in any boat that could be oxygen depleted, the space between the floor and the ribs comes to mind. I don't know, thankfully none of us were there in the blast!

@poiuyt3251 its an open boat...it wouldn't be oxygen depleted.

@queputasquiere thats the point...

How come every firefighter blooper vid seems to come from the Us and involve an explosion?!
-
why would you light it while you're still IN the boat??? wouldnt it be safer to throw the lighted torch from the other boat?
-
Is it really gasoline? Or is the news making stuff up? I dare say that with this being a "regular" exercise, that they would of had this problem before, or run across somebody who realized what they were doing. There might be the possibly that with the added fuel in a relatively oxygen depleted atmosphere (like the "v" berth on a boat where it was being thrown) the conditions fit for a backdraft or flashover once that little heat stick thing he had, was applied.
