Coordinated Fire Attack - Single Family Residential Structures

2020-06-09T10:07:41.673Z

UL FSRI -
This video provides a brief overview of the “Study of Coordinated Fire Attack Utilizing Acquired Structures” experiments conducted in single-family homes. The "Analysis of the Coordination of Suppression and Ventilation in Single-Family Homes" report provides fire dynamics analysis of each of the experiments, a discussion of the different control strategies examined, and tactical considerations developed with the project technical panel.

This project was funded by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Assistance to Firefighters Grant Program.

Training Fires: Ranch Structure Experiments

2020-02-20T12:22:24.959Z

UL Firefighter Safety Research Institute -
To evaluate this, FSRI conducted 21 free burn and 4 compartment heat release rate (HRR) experiments at UL’s headquarters in Northbrook, IL along with 23 training fire experiments in metal container props at the Delaware County Emergency Services Training Center in Sharon Hill, PA.

These experiments looked at how variations in fuel, both NFPA 1403-compliant wood-based fuels and typical home furnishings like sofas and chairs, affected both the energy release rate (i.e., HRR) of the fire along with smoke production, thermal conditions, and the potential for creating ventilation-limited fires. By measuring gas temperature, gas concentration, heat flux, gas velocity, and smoke obscuration (density), these tests look to quantify some common training fuels as compared to room furnishings. The overall goal is not to optimize the training fuel package, but rather to understand the conditions created by the various packages and their potential uses in live-fire training.

Port Orange Fire Rescue Training - This morning Division Chief of Training Gary Wilson conducted a training showing the effects of flow path, fire behavior and ventilation for members of Port Orange Fire and other local firefighters. Classes offered through POFR Training assist with the completion of State Fire certifications and professional development.

Sansom Park (TX) Fire Department Live Fire and Flashover Firefighter Training

2018-01-22T15:01:06.222Z

Ben Saladino - Sansom Park and Lockheed Martin fire departments trained at Fort Worth's Bob Bolen Public Safety Complex, fire training facilities, 1/20/2018. Crews rotated through several evolutions of Class A live fire in a simulated two story apartment, and then 2 groups went into the flashover chamber/container to learn about flashovers. Thanks to Anthony, Keira, and Frank for smoking up my GoPro! :)
