FLASHOVER CAUGHT ON TAPE AT A FULLY INVOLVED HOUSE FIRE

A flashover occurs when the temperatures in a compartment are so elevated that all combustible fuels reach their autoignition temperature resulting in simultaneous ignition.

well let me help in the definition for everyone saying yes or not flashover. First some questions: 1)What is a Flashover 2) how many time can a place flash?
I will give answer in 2 weeks. Stay Safe

A flashover is when all the contents of a room are heated to the right temperature that will result in an explosion. The gases released from the fire are still explosive and they are combusted as well at this point. I believe that a flashover can only occur once in a particular area but a fully involved building could have multiple flashovers on the inside.

good answer, but one questions, can a flashover explode?

A flashover is an explosion. As far as I know at least.

Hi, A flashover does not explode, a smoke explosion is part of a backdraft, which in this case is not a backdraft.

Scratch my last comment. Flashover is when everything is heated to ignition point and then does ignite almost simultaneously.

this is not a flashover!

O.K. then what would you call it?

this is when the fire has entered the attic space...burnt through and vented through the gable end....it is a very common thing in buildings of this type...I am not trying to put u down....it's a very good video...thanks for showing it!
