Flashover: the power of fire

Flashover is the point in which everything in your home catches fire -- no one can survive. See how quickly flashover can occur and how it can be prevented.

Mysterious Colors Flash Over Bridgewater, NJ [3 Clips] - November 23, 2011

PART 2 - Up close!: www.youtube.com 'Mystery in Bridgewater: What caused strange glowing lights in the sky?' "It may have looked like an out-of-this-world blast, but authorities say a mysterious glow that lit up the early-morning sky in Bridgewater today was no cause for alarm. Some county and Bridgewater officials believe that transformer fires caused by heavy rain may have played a part in the freakish light show, although they had no definitive answers about the source of the lights. Shortly after midnight, several Bridgewater residents reported seeing a pulsating glow in the distance that changed colors, similar to the aurora borealis. They said the lights appeared to come from the northern part of the township. "The sky lit up like pure daylight," said 87-year-old Joseph Wing, who lives on Foothill Road. "This was unlike anything I've ever seen." Wing said he first wondered if an explosion was responsible, but he didn't hear a blast or feel an impact that matched the intensity of the lights. He said the glow disappeared around 12:30 am It was followed by reports of power outages in the township. "On Facebook there were a lot a people saying, 'Oh maybe it was aliens, but I obviously knew that wasn't the most realistic option," Dragon said. Bridgewater resident Mike Vida took this video in the Sunset Lake area of the town, near Interstate 78. Riffing off what many residents said the lights looked like — an alien attack — he titled his video "War of the World Lights <b>...</b>

flashover trailer helmet cam

Flashover occurs when heat generated by a fire can no longer be absorbed by ceilings, walls, and room contents. Heat begins to radiate back toward the room, raising the temperature of unburned gases, room contents, walls and flooring. At approximately 750 degrees the entire room ignites creating an inferno. Firefighters wear protective clothing, referred to as turn-out gear, to protect themselves. However, a flashover creates such extreme temperatures that turn-out gear cannot provide adequate protection. A firefighter trapped in a flashover has only 2 seconds to escape the harsh conditions before being overcome. This represents only 5 feet of movement once the flashover occurs.
