Fire is deadly fast. How will you get out? Escape My House is an easy way to prepare your family for a house fire, so that everyone gets out fast, and stays out. www.escapemyhouse.co.nz
It's scary how fast a fire can spread. This is why I'm very careful when using anything that can possibly cause a fire near combustibles. I also keep large fire extinguishers handy just in case.
Saw something like this a few months back. For complete immersion view these videos with VR headset and headphones. Even though you're aware it's not real you start flinching and feel your heart beating faster when the flames reach you because you're not used to seeing yourself surrounded by flames like this just from the turn of your head.
I can pack all my bags on 43 seconds, easy. I’m not leaving a laptop or Xbox One behind. Fuck the house, I need shit to entertain me when I’m living on the streets. I can plug my laptop in and play some Steam games or some shit, prolly search for a homeless shelter
I had no idea that fire can spread this fast. I think they need to show this in all schools too because imagine how many other people are oblivious to how much time they have in this situation
Wow I've ran a wood stove for years and been close to some hot ass fires, not counting the couches and shits i've burned. This video really puts it into context how fast indoors a fire can spread.
PS2's are kinda cheap, their games are found so often at second hand stores... An N64 is a whole lot harder to come by, especially something as "Rare" as a Jungle Green!
This goes to show how fast a fire really can spread. It filled the room in less than a minute and everyone needs to be able to evacuate in a smaller time than that.
Amazing how little time it takes for everything to go to hell once the fire really gets going... There is an unbelievable J curve in how fast a fire spreads once everything starts igniting. The fire was already starting to burn stuff at the 0 second mark in the video and it takes from 0:00 until 00:34 for the fire to get completely out of control. But the scary part is from 00:34 until 00:43 in the clip. In those 10 seconds, the fire grows in size by a factor of at least 4 in 1/3 of the time it took the fire to initially even get started. God help you if you weren't already on your way out of the house by that timestamp in the video because your either going to sustain severe burns trying to leave through the first floor, or your gonna be jumping.
What l find amazing is, metal, painted drywall, carpet, you name it. Goes up in seconds. But I can try and light my fire pit with newspapers, dry kindling and logs and it won’t start.
a house down the street behind my house caught fire last week. i was on my parents balcony as i watched the whole thing catch flames before my eyes. it was so scary and sad. my parents immediately ordered many fire extinguishers and did a fire escape plan the next day. i’m a person who worries a lot so this fire really scared me. this poor family’s entire front of the house was destroyed along with their cars. the next day it caught fire again. the first time the dog was trapped inside the home. you never think it will happen to you until it does and you can never go back..
A couple days ago, a house caught on fire in my neighborhood. The owners weren't home but their dog did pass away😭 I was so worried it might happen to our house so I quickly thought of making an emergency bag! See my comment!
I just had a house fire at home 2 nights ago, on Halloween. I can assure all of you, no there is no time because it is so hard to think quickly in these situations. Plus, if you havw insurance its best to leave those things to be covered later. I promise it is not worth the extra 20 seconds breathing in smoke and risking being hurt by shattered glass, falling wall or ceiling or exploding gas lines just for your fuckin PS4
"You can make new memories. If you live, leave it behind." My guy I have pictures of my cat who passed away a few months ago, I'm not gonna replace that
My house caught on fire last September on the 12th. The fire intoxicated my 2 pets, making them suffocate quickly. My chihuahua who had been with me my whole life, actually, and my rabbit who had been with us for almost 3 years both died. Now, our house is being fully redone. The reasoning for this fire is because of a squirrel who had chewed a wire in our attic, starting a fire. Fires are very dangerous, and hopefully you don't experience this tragic moment.
my mothers house was destroyed in the same way-the electrical wiring was 6 years old with modern trip swith fuses which did not trip.Took more than two years to rebuild the house part of which was reduced to rubble.Still don't understand why electrical current overload in the cables didn't trip the fuse before the fire had a chance to take hold.
Today a fire in my house happened, it was in the kitchen. I was in my room participating in my zoom class, I heard my dad shouting my mom's name and my mom started screaming so loudly she never actually screams so it was definitely something crazy. I opened my door and in front of me was a huge fire, my dad was trying to take out the fire. We had this exhaust hood above the oven and it was made of glass, It shattered everywhere and the exhaust hood almost fell on the oven where the fire was. My baby brother didn't even notice what was going on, he was in the living room watching tv (he was next to the kitchen) I ran to take him with me and went to my room. I couldn't leave the house so i stayed in my room and opened the window so the smoke isn't packed. I sound like a fucking child saying this, and it sounds like it isn't a huge deal but it really was. I'm so thankful I'm still alive, I watched a few videos about surviving fires when I was younger, i knew it would be handy one day.
I watched this with a VR headset. I just sat back and chilled as I was watching the house get on fire all while feeling too lazy to take it out with a fire extinguisher
Having doors closed can slow down the fire by cutting off oxygen and can stop smoke entering your room so you can get out a lot safer Also talk to your kids and make sure they know what to do in this situation
A neighbor had their house catch on fire during a blizzard at the start of the year a few years ago. Everyone was able to get out safely, but the house was badly damaged and needed to be rebuilt. The fire was caused by a lit cigarette accidentally being left on a bed.
Damn guys....you really had to destroy that PlayStation? Couldn't it have been an Xbox or Mac computer? Crazy how quickly fire moves, especially when you get that intense heat build up that leads to those terrifying flashovers or backdrafts.
MrZoidberg42 So you'll be choosing cremation huh? What a idiot! Then again, all those commenting how they'd stay n grab stuff, would likely be running for their lives crying n screaming. Big talkers now, but heaven forbid it actually happens...you'll be sick to your stomach n the last thing you'll thinking of is some dumb electronics.
@@berryteresa8407 it takes no less then 5 seconds to reach out and grab something off the table lolim not gonna be cremated in 5 seconds you dingle berry
@@yosour6733 in that 5 second time limit, you breathe in toxic gases and superheated air, which can kill you. The temperature in that room is several hundreds of degrees Celsius when the fire really gets going. Forget about holding your breath and getting things, because you won't make it out alive.
As a firefighter for 6 years and being in plenty of house fires I can assure you that you wouldn't. You wouldn't even be close to getting anywhere near it before you have 3rd degree burns covering 100% of your body.
In that moment your survival instincts would kick in and you’d instantly value your life and your loved ones life over an animal. No matter how much you love an animal you’ll always save your life first.
Im very confused, where is the laptop? I see people commenting about it, is the thing on the table to the left not a folder? Also love how they say to leave the ps2 like man im risking my life to play simpsons road rage (joke)
a couple years ago i woke up to a fire in my bedroom. i put it out quickly with a fire blanket, but it scares me how it could have very quickly become much worse
@@azell2913 Well since I made that comment I got laid so hard I got a broken rib, and it was glorious. But I still wouldn't mind if I was slightly more carbon-based
I'm a retired firefighter, and this is reality in a modern home. In the 1950's, your house was mostly wood and cotton and other natural materials. Today, your house is mostly chemicals in one form or another. They burn fast and hot, and put off deadly fumes.
