Flashover

Experienced a Flashover?
Many firefighters mistake roll over for flashover.
In this video, at approximately the 45 second mark, we can see the room flashover.
This is the power of High Heat Release Rate Fuels which are in our homes today.
The fuel load for this burn was one couch, one chair, and carpet.
The video from Project Kill the Flashover starts at approximately 2 minutes after ignition and the room experiences total floor to ceiling involvement at approximately 3 minutes after ignition.
The room is almost completely extinguished by a transitional attack and followed up with an interior attack for the final kill.
Learn the science behind fire behavior and don’t base our decision making solely on feeling.
The thermal cues provided by the SCOTT X380 provided clear indicators before the room flashes over.
Come and learn more with Kill the Flashover in 2019 in the second year of Fire Behavior University. An online training program that teaches firefighters applicable fire science data.
