the thing that scares me with this is the time it took to hit flashover is the same time one could be in the other room in the shower, on the phone, downstairs doing laundry .. just ordinary activities that would take such a short time .. i shudder to think about it
what's even worse is that this was surprisingly LONG of a time for flashover to occur... many similar videos i've watched have it having within three minutes... and in one dry scotch pine fire it took less than ONE minute
You can tell this is a room from the olden days. It took the fire quite a while to flashover. If it had been in a room with modern day furniture, the fire would have been like "flashover, 'ere I come!" in about 2 to 2 minutes
Except in the UK and most of Europe all furniture have to meet certain regulations a retardant as possible. I think it would be the other way around these days.
Absolute nonsense. Fire regulations for materials are more stringent now than they ever have been. This sort of good-old-daysism is reserved for the stupidest in society.
There is a psa demonstrating the speed of fire with a split screen showing a burning cigarette on the left and a real stadium fire on the right. 5 minutes was all it took for an entire stadium section to burn down.
Then imagine having a connected fire alarm, so the alarm central has already detected the fire, verified by camera, and called out the fire brigade for you, before you even had the time to think about where you store your extinguisher.
Depends on the location and type of smoke and type of smoke alarm. If you have it right on top of your TV it might have triggered from the candles alone.
Smoke detectors are something very important, their price can be found between 10 eur and up if you want it with alkaline batteries or 10 years if they go with lithium batteries. In Spain, public campaigns or insurance companies could be carried out on TV and Radio because this saves lives and we can also warn the fire brigade that this is irreversible, a 3 or 6 kg ABC fire extinguisher is a good ally, whether it is to put out a domestic fire attempt or to leave the house either during the night or the day to make our way safely in the evacuation since if the fire already takes flames important little we can do with the extinguisher other than put ourselves in danger, it is best to get ready Save and call the fire brigade. I have been using smoke detectors for many years, a small 3Kg ABC fire extinguisher in case I have an accident at home, to be able to put it out and it doesn't wander any further, and a fire blanket in my kitchen close at hand, since in domestic kitchens the best it is to cover the flames and suffocate them due to lack of oxygen to the fire, you have to think that many of these fires do not come only from household appliances in the kitchen the main protagonist in the kitchen is the oil that if you let it boil too much it burns and burns in a important way, so in situations there is no fire extinguisher, the ideal is a fire blanket. Although fires with oil may use a Co2 extinguisher, what it does is deprive the fire of oxygen and this is how it is extinguished, doing it in a kitchen with a nearby container has risks if you do not have mastery of using those extinguishers, the best thing is the blanket fireproof We can take a 3 or 6 kg fire extinguisher to a company every 5 years to ring it and give it pressure, for domestic users there is no obligation to check every year but for our safety do it every 5 years to guarantee that we have pressure and it works correctly if necessary, smoke and/or carbon monoxide detectors and a fire blanket should not be missing at home if we value the life of our family. In the following video we can see in a home fire the first thing that is generated is smoke and in the video we see how the detector warns but we see that if at that moment we have a 3kg ABC fire extinguisher the outbreak of fire that starts in We can suffocate the sofa, preventing a more dramatic situation. In the following live we see the capacity of a 3kg ABC fire extinguisher easy to handle ru-vid.comtOBSS1JOOx4?feature=share
The recommendation is, even though it causes more secondary damage, to have a powder extinguisher on each floor. The reason being great ability, even for a novice, to extinguish relatively large fires from upwards of 30 feet away.
Ужас какой!!! Это какой идиот додумался поставить заженные свечи рядом с телевизором. Да ещё без присмотра. Такое чувство, что специально решили спалить квартиру.
