Matt, this series is great! I’m a scientist in a cancer research lab, we work with quite a lot of flammable materials and I’ve been designated as fire safety officer; your contents have been extremely helpful in order to achieve the qualification! Thank you so much!
Thanks for all these 19 videos. I teach basic firefighting to industrial fire brigade at mine sites in Canada. I'm using your videos as teaching aid to explain basic fire science and i get excellent review from the participants. So thank you. Cheers.
Thank you for these videos. I'm a firefighter in the UK and I wanted to learn more about fire dynamics and how to understand fire better. You explain things really clearly and enables me to understand better. Thank you
Matt, your videos are great. Keep it going, Is exactly what I was searching for. Explain please each type of fire extinguisher, where and how to apply. Donning fireman suit in the correct way and ...
Thanks mate for creating this channel and sharing your knowledge. Its pretty difficult to find concise information about the subject of fire on yt. Keep up your great job. Cheers!
Your videos are great! I just started maritime school to become a ship captain and I have an entire class about fire science and safety. The entertaining and educational videos you have here are SO helpful to my studies. Thank you for bringing life and real examples to what my text book is struggling to express to newcomers like myself.
Hey Matt, really well done videos. The entire series! One thing that may confuse some people about this first video is how the wax gets from a solid to a liquid to a gas (heat -> melt -> up into the wick -> pyrolysis as you mention). I only throw it out there as it may be a stumbling block for some to grasp the concept of pyrolysis. i.e. is it the solid candle that's vaporized or the little pool of melted wax below the flame? And what about the wick? etc. etc.
Hi Chris, thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it! There are a few things that I could have presented differently throughout the series. (It's all been a bit of trial and error in making the vids). But I do try to make them as accurate and straight forward possible 🙂
@@MattDavis5 ya, no worries. This is just a comment in case you ever come back and do an edit or add on. The whole series is *very* well done. You touch on content many others don't. And I've not seen it be in such an effectively presented series like this either. Kudos, big time.
Your welcome Tini. The lack of Pyrolysis videos was actually one of the motivations for the series. It's such an important part of fire dynamics and yet I couldn't find much in the way of straight forward explanation videos.
Interesting question. There are oxidising elements other than oxygen e.g. chlorine that will sustain a fire. But for it to be considered fire I would think it would need to be some kind of oxidation reaction. But I’m not really sure about the wider implications to be honest.
I m so surprised to see that given the time and effort u put in ur videos plus the way u explain, u have so less subscribers. U deserve a million ones.
I used to be a scientist but I never knew it was the smoke that was burning! - in fact I thought that the smoke was some non-flammable dust or ash or something - thanks for the chemistry clarification! - but what about the smoke well above a bush fire? - would that still ignite if there was another flame introduced? - maybe there is cooling as the smoke rises and it becomes not hot enough to continue to burn?
Just a curious guy. I think if the smoke from bushfire gets another heat source, it could possibly catch fire and the resulting flame will be bigger than the bushfire.

You're welcome! Thanks for you comment. That's great to hear!!
Super demo of smoke lighting-up 👌👍
Thanks!!
I use your Videos in South Africa during Health and Safety training. People love them thank you.
Very cool! Great to hear they are coming in handy. Thanks for letting me know.

Hey there! You're welcome 👍 I'm glad they've come in handy for you!
Great video. Thank you so much for this information.
Your videoes are very useful for artist as well
Thanks!! Glad they are coming in handy!!

Thanks! Glad you like the videos. And thankyou for the suggestions 🙂👍🏼
Super cool! very easy and interesting explanation. Love it!
Fascinating stuff. I'll be watching this entire series!
Glad you like it! Let me know what you think when you get through them all 🙂
best videos on youtube ! thank you !
you deserve a lot more subscribers
Thanks 🙂
Thanks mate for creating this channel and sharing your knowledge. Its pretty difficult to find concise information about the subject of fire on yt. Keep up your great job. Cheers!
Thanks! A lack of similar content was one of the reasons why I started the channel 🙂 Glad you like it 👍🏼
Very interesting and informative series, Matt!
Thanks Daniel 👍
what a cool series! I'm amazed that you don't have more subscribers, because this is great content!
Thanks! I'm glad you like it!! 🙂
amazing , great work . Keep it up. Love from India
Thanks! Glad you like them so far 🙂👍🏼

Thanks! I'm glad they have come in handy! And Good luck with the study 👍🏼🙂
Matt. Great job. I’m going to use your videos on fire dynamics for our training this week’s training session. Great information and quality in content
Thanks! I'm always stoked to hear when the videos are getting used! All the best with the training 👍🏼

Thanks for making this series! I couldn’t find a decent explanation for pyrolysis anywhere!

Fkin legend. Start training in June and you’ve domne better at teaching than everything on the powerpoint they sent me!
Thanks! Glad you like it!
Can some chemical reactions that emit a lot of heat in a short time be considered fire(without the participation of oxygen)?
Interesting question. There are oxidising elements other than oxygen e.g. chlorine that will sustain a fire. But for it to be considered fire I would think it would need to be some kind of oxidation reaction. But I’m not really sure about the wider implications to be honest.

That's very kind of you to say! Glad you like them!
@@MattDavis5 why won't I? U explain so nicely with incredible practical examples.
