Yea really is this really a true assessment of a trailer fire itsnot furniture or carpeting burning its pallets and shredded paper. How many people have pallets and shredded paper in their trailers. Lol
It was interesting how you could see the effects of the heat at the top of the rooms far ahead of the flames. Watch the blinds and curtains in the first room and the hallway melting and dropping off long before the fire get near them.Terrifying. It gives me a whole new respect for what firefighters have to deal with.
The way the heat rises is an effect called “thermal layering,” and it’s the reason why the rule of escape is “stay low and go!” In my Firefighter I class (I’m a volunteer), the first time we were in the burn building the instructor had us stand up for a minute after they got the fire going so we could feel the difference in the heat at the ceiling vs. the cool down on our knees. After that, every time we had burn drills they’d watch to make sure we stayed low, and anybody that even sat up too high would earn a whack on the helmet with the instructor’s spanner wrench! And the types of water patterns we use with the hose make a difference too-I remember one of the last drills when they had the fire good and roaring, and this idiot probie tried to use a fog pattern (wide spray) on it. All he did was screw up the thermal layering so it was just as hot down at floor level as it was up high, and we were on our bellies trying to find a cool spot! The instructor cussed him out and asked if anybody knew what to do. I hollered “Gimme that line!” and hit that sucker with a straight stream in a “Z” pattern starting from the ceiling and knocked the fire down enough so that we were relatively comfortable (I didn’t put it out completely because others needed the practice too). And that was in the simulator-imagine how well we have to learn those instincts to deal with a real fire!
I lived in a very old (1964 model) single-wide trailer some years ago. A similar trailer in the park in which I resided went up in less than four minutes. It completely burned down to the lower steel frame used for hauling the trailer. All it took was some guy falling asleep in bed with a lit cigarette. The guy made it out unharmed fortunately. This sure made me think of new living arrangements. I did indeed find a new place to live that was much safer.
Any mobile home built before 1976 had aluminum wiring. That’s why mobile homes older than that burned the way they did, plus the materials used to build them were super cheap and flammable. Thank goodness your neighbor made it out safely. 😳
and that is an empty trailer. Imagine a fully furnished home with couches,books, curtains and kitchen cabinets on the walls etc. much higher fire load. it would have been twice as bad and twice as fast.
i know how it is. september 14th we got a call at 430 am saying our house was on fire. we had just dropped the dogs off at the house it was right after hurricane irma we lost everything we owned but the worst part was loosing the 2 dogs the older one was found laying on top of the small one. the house was gone in 15 minutes at the most.
Trailers aren’t built to last-they’re built to burn! And that’s if cockroaches don’t invade first-they LOVE the glue in particle board materials, so if they get into one of these, they immediately go on the mother of all benders!
I never rally thought about the phrase “get down low and go go go” until i saw this video! Look at how fast the smoke blackens the view up high! Insane!
Our community lost a family of 6 exactly like this a few years ago on Thanksgiving Eve. Mom, dad and 4 babies under 6 (one was a cousin of the children). Absolutely heartbreaking. The adults were found with the kids, trying to get out.
Fire is actually pretty beautiful, if you just look at it aesthetically. Plus we are lucky that it's so distinguishable and different from everything else. Such bright colors are hard to ignore...God/nature gave us a fighting chance by choosing these colors, rather than green, brown, or any other earthy color.
Project Xfire: yes, I've done some research on that. Here's an interesting point. It is said that most people do not dream in color, or if they do, it is either red/green, or blue/yellow. There are the rare individuals who dream in full colour. I am one of those individuals. Also, because I am phobic about fire, I often have nightmares about it. Whatever colour predominates in the dream (or nightmare, as the case maybe), if fire is present in the dream, it is definitely the usual colour.
I almost set my apartment on fire tonight... I left a lit candle on the floor of the living room (parquet wood floors). An hour later I went back and the floor was on fire. A very small fire. I left the match in it (the wick was too small), but it fell off and burned the candle from the outside, making it melt and break, and be all over the floor (about a feet wide). It had already burned the parquet squares (about 5 inches wide and half an inch deep). It would have taken about another couple of hours until it reached more flammable objects like clothes, cables, electric outlets...
anyone who lives in a trailer or any house should have regular fire drills, have an old sash weight or something heavy handy and be ready to use it to bust out a window, have an escape route planed
Amber Locked it seems like they do go up faster because of the smaller space you have to go thru to get out, I had one burn up way back in 1968 because of the furnace, at that time it had an old pot burner in it that had been worked on over the years by people who didn't know what they were doing, including me, the float in the burner stuck and flooded the floor with kero, the rest is history,, todays are safe as a house.
Amber Locked No, sash weights would be at a salvage yard if you can find them, they were used in windows yrs ago to help open and close them , a crow bar would work or anything steel, strong that you could smash a window with.
It may not have "gone up fast", but the fire alarm didn't sound until almost 1 min 40 seconds. Even if you woke up instantly hearing the fire alarm, one still has to contend with the smoke. The smoke is almost always the killer in a house fire. So scary!
Four minutes from lighting of fire until the trailer is completely filled with deadly smoke. It's not as much the fire that kills. It's the smoke. And four minutes is pretty daggum fast.
you know i live in a rv park and yesterday 2:30 AM my neighbors rv caught on fire i awoke to find it totally ingulfed in flames i had to stand there and watch it burn not knowing if my neighbor got out or his dog... his dog did not make it but the owners ok were lucky that he had no propane in his tanks half the park would have been gone. R.I.P Bow his dog.
There are other similar TH-cam videos that are produced by the NIST and other fire safety organizations that show how fast a fire can spread... Please note the smoke, and how it "behaves" and how it quickly "banks down" to the floor, depriving anyone in that situation of oxygen... More fire victims die from smoke inhalation than by burning to death...
Actually, most smoke detector is exactly what it sounds like. (detecting smoke) usually a smoke detector has invisible rays of light which once they are covered by smoke, sets the alarm.
They only go for so long, my old house was from 1978 and had one that screamed exactly like that, it would go for about 30-45 seconds then kinda go higher pitched until it stopped, I think they have a capacitors that runs the buzzer, and it drains rather quick, mine also developed a loud buzz, that we considered the "it has power" alarm lol
The impact would've been better if the initial arrangement of the combustible array more closely matched a realistic home (although the results likely wouldn't have varied much).
Another video that should be viewed is "The Station Nightclub Fire" video on TH-cam... It was filmed by a reporter who was on assignment to film a segment about fire safety in a nightclub... At 2 minutes, there was heavy black smoke coming out of the doors and windows and people were trapped while trying to escape... Within 6 minutes, the entire club was ablaze with fire coming out of the same doors and windows where the smoke had been... And, the victims burned to death...
Sounds rather like 2 other infamous nightclub fires where a lot of people died. Club Cinque Sept in France in the 70s, and going further back, the Cocoanut Grove disaster in America.
A trailer will burn just as fast as that pallet seen above used for kindling - Right down to the carriage (chassis)...once fire gets a foothold on it...
I grew up in a mobile home and we had a smoke alarm that sounded just like that. Very annoying sound, and you had to plug it in for it to work... so if a fire broke out during a power failure or the electrical cord itself started a fire, I guess we would have been royally screwed, lol.
If there's a fire in my house and my door to my room is blocked or burning, I'm trapped. There's a 50 gallon aquarium in front of my window so I can't get out my window, and the aquarium makes it harder for me to open my window and the air condition unit is right outside my window. So I have no way out if my door is blocked. But the smoke detector is right outside my door in the hall,
Better move the aquarium. Even though your house may not burn down. Better safe than sorry. I think a human life is more important than a few fresh water fish
I would not mind seeing a mobile home with old used even if also torn furniture included and they set fire just to show the similarity and to give all owners and even renters of any type of home how fast a fire can spread. Of course they should include varied types of mattress and other materials of all types of furniture just to show no furniture of any material is not fire proof/resistant.
Just today my house caught fire and we lost lots of stuff my sisters room is demolished and back deck is freaking gone. I luckily still hav my pets because of my heroic neighbor had keys to my house and saved my dog my room was untouched but everything in kitchen and rooms were gone 😰😭
It completely depends on the construction of the building, size, and the furnishings. Not to mention if doors are closed. There are TOO many variables to make an absolute statement as to how much time you have.
Hope they got the family out before conducting this test. I also know that the cheap old style paneling goes up pretty fast. Better to have fire resistant drywall, if you live in a mobile home.
I think that mobile homes burn so fast is cos they aren't built like regular houses,i.e. with lighter materials than regular houses. Now this is not to say that mobile homes are firetraps or automatic coffins,but you need to be careful is all.
Actually, that was the PASS devices on the firefighters’ air packs. They’re like a motion detector in reverse in that they’re designed to go off when we stay still too long. They start chirping like that at first, and if we don’t move enough to shut them up they start screaming after about 30 seconds. It’s a way for our buddies to find us should we get injured, unconscious, or trapped in a fire and need rescue.
I don't hope any fire. I was near a camp fire last weekend, and the smell ugh... It makes me feel a real hadache smelling that the whole time (migraine) and i had the feeling of a cactus in my troath. Today the smell of soot was still in my hair today. Ugh what a foul stench. And i got a cold with it toghetter because it was cold outside on a weekend in Belgium. I hope i never have to smell that stinky burning smell of fire and soot again.
P. de W. because of modern materials and plastics, you only have around one to two minutes to get out. there is no time to gather property, everything but your life is replaceable.
+Kim Ludlow I suppose its to simulate other stuff they'd have laying around. You know, chairs, books, etc. Using the shredded paper and pallets are a lot cheaper than actually furnishing the home, but provide for a decent replication.
Shouldn't have to be questioned.. I mean it's a simulation, but if it really must be answered.. The shredded paper for one could simply be kindling and have zero meaning, or two, it could represent books, newspapers, magazines, etc. The pallet would obviously represent some type of furniture. Furniture has wood in it. Pallets are wood...
the trailers befor 76 have the bad rep, many ppl dont know that since 76 they have been improved so they are stronger and safer. my 97 double wide has 2x6 floor and exterior walls and sheetrock interior, on the thin side sure but still sheetrock, better than that paneling and my ceiling is sheetrock like any other home, no strips. also the confined space of those old single wides plays a big roll.
@@jeffgarrett2114 Jeff... Dude.... True freaking story... Me and my mom and dad had a Federal Pacific Electric breaker box..... All I can say is that dear Lord Jesus was watching our asses all that time that we had one of those boxes because those mother freaking breakers let me tell you those goddamn piece of s*** breakers have had a nasty habit of causing fires thank God we didn't have stuff like that happened although God knows we had to replace a few over the years and it was getting harder and harder to get them because they didn't want to sell them in our area anymore because of course the underwriters laboratories were not going and covering them any longer or giving their their listing to them thankfully the second place that we moved into or should I say the third trailer that we had had different breakers I think they were GE but we dodged a bullet for a very long time when we had the trailer with the Federal Pacific breaker box true story dude!
@@mikegallant811 you are absolutely correct. I am an electrical contractor and replace those panels all the time. Your parents should have immediately hired an electrician to replace just the panel. Depending on size, It could have cost under $1000. Definitely worth a life or just for peace of mind. And definitely a most important priority!! And if you rented, there is all kinds of documentation you could have presented to the landlord, even to meet your parents half way, or discount rent until it's paid for?
@@kevinlynch1227 thankfully that time is long past, and my now widowed mom lives in elderly housing and I in a nice apartment in Ludlow for her and Springfield for me respectively. My late adoptive father deceased of metastatic esophageal cancer in 2014 the last mobile home that we lived in had a good and safe ge breaker box, God be thanked. Let's put it this way, trailers/mobile homes are not firetraps or automatic coffins, but..... You do need to be careful.
Hey Mike, I figured it was a while back and you did say you had moved. Surprisingly there are still a lot of those panels still in operation. So sorry to hear about your Dad. Cancer is always a difficult way to go. Hope your Mom is doing well? My both parents are gone now. It's not easy to lose loved ones! I agree with you. Fully furnished homes go up just as quickly and often, whether a house or trailer, there are only minutes to escape. The nice thing about a trailer with a smoke detector is that if the window is big enough, you are close to the ground. Families should always sleep with the bedroom doors closed and have access to the window. Growing up our bedrooms had access to the roof except my room. One of my bottom drawers was designated to portable chain ladder. Always good to be safe and have a meeting place outside Ok Man, you be well.
That's one way to get rid of bedbugs. Very instructive video. Many thanks.
Lmao
We'll try it on our neighbors first to test if it works..
Ill have to remember not to leave shredded paper and wood pallets in the corner.
ikr and I'll definitely remember not to set them in fire if I do
That's not how I am supposed to dispose of shredded paper? I guess it would have cost me only 3 houses to learn that! Thank you TH-cam!
Thegreatmush i agrre
That’s the same materials they use in most kitchen cabinets and countertops. Most mobile homes are fully engulfed in 8 min or less.

The smoke detector sounded like a dying airhorn😂😂
1960s and 70s technology it sounds like lol
My smoke detector sounds almost like it (I have a 1978 model and I know I should replace it but we have another smoke detector next to it
Sounds like someone is strangling a deer. 😂😂😂😂😂😂

I like how at little over a minute in from that not so big fire yet you can already tell it is so hot when the curtain melt off.
Well yeah. The flames were touching it basically. Have you never been camping? It's hot af near a fire
This shows exactly what trailers are like. They are tin cans just waiting for something to happen
I never rally thought about the phrase “get down low and go go go” until i saw this video! Look at how fast the smoke blackens the view up high! Insane!
Wow, at 4 minutes the home is truly terrifying! Imagine trying to escape at night with small children.

If you live in one of these, you need to have a well thought out evacuation plan for your family.

Totally geared up BEFORE the fire starts, this guy understands planning. Good exercise, video should be used for training.
It is a training video
This is my house. You'll be talking to my lawyers. Referring to the pallet of course.
A good video to show trailer homeowners what could happen
This is why you should never live in a trailer, this video should of been filmed till the trailer was completely gone for total time.

Always remember an old adage : " You can't outrun a fire " !
anyone who lives in a trailer or any house should have regular fire drills, have an old sash weight or something heavy handy and be ready to use it to bust out a window, have an escape route planed
Amber Locked it seems like they do go up faster because of the smaller space you have to go thru to get out, I had one burn up way back in 1968 because of the furnace, at that time it had an old pot burner in it that had been worked on over the years by people who didn't know what they were doing, including me, the float in the burner stuck and flooded the floor with kero, the rest is history,, todays are safe as a house.

Kale Harms my neighbors caught fire at 5 aclock this morning
In a trailer park near where I live there was a structure fire the other day
Just imagine how much faster it would have went up if the rooms were full of furniture etc.
Wow. The ambient heat is hot enough to melt the likely plastic miniblind hardware.
Crazy how little of smoke there is, even at 2:30 , I’m guessing because there’s no chemicals or plastics burning, just some wood and hay

That escalated quickly.
It took over a minute of SERIOUS flame to trigger fire/smoke alarm?
Actually, most smoke detector is exactly what it sounds like. (detecting smoke) usually a smoke detector has invisible rays of light which once they are covered by smoke, sets the alarm.
i figure its more of a gtfo warning than a "hey try to put this fire out"
The smoke detector really went EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Did they stop the smoke detector? Or was it right where the flames were and die

Simaginary Friend: that's why it's a good idea to put in a battery-powered smoke alarm as well, to serve as a backup.
It is just a "simple" wooden supported fire. But i did not expect flashover at about 4:00.
So, it's not so difficult to get rid of those trailers?
Done it this way. It's one way to get rid of a trailer -- if you have a way to cut the metal frame into manageably-sized pieces.
What's with the double beeping noise every few seconds?
The fire alarm
Nice video in general for fire behavior.
Hey at least the fire alarm was still working in there :P
excellent vid
Smoke Detector works lol
I have oxygen in my house. my bedroom is right on the porch. all I have to do is raise the window start throwing things out.
Kinda unusual of a trailer having bags of shredded paper and skids in it. But then again you never know
Thank u fur sharing pretty crazy and cool

It's lit!- Travis Scott the fire man
Once those front windows break out it'll be a huge backdraft
Not likely since it was already venting and had an oxygen supply from the start.
I heard that trailors goes up fast.
So you have 3 min MAX to get out of a burning trailer or house.
It completely depends on the construction of the building, size, and the furnishings. Not to mention if doors are closed. There are TOO many variables to make an absolute statement as to how much time you have.

ok now that you know how fast a trailor goes up. now see how fast you can put it out.
Always sleep with your bedroom door closed, if you’re smoke detector goes off don’t open the door go out the window.
Yard breathers.
no smoke no need for an airway
What is that noise in the beginning? I sounds like a low deep moan. Kinda spookie.

I think that mobile homes burn so fast is cos they aren't built like regular houses,i.e. with lighter materials than regular houses.
Now this is not to say that mobile homes are firetraps or automatic coffins,but you need to be careful is all.
That comstant beeping means you need to replace some batteries.

And i got a cold with it toghetter because it was cold outside on a weekend in Belgium. I hope i never have to smell that stinky burning smell of fire and soot again.
P. de W. because of modern materials and plastics, you only have around one to two minutes to get out. there is no time to gather property, everything but your life is replaceable.
Yeah it'll burn that fast and so will a house if you build a fire in the corner of the room
Where is the smoke
good job guys
I respect you brothers!!!! BUT, meth does not start “under” a couch
What is the point of this
To who the public just how quickly the smallest fire can escalate and for fire safety
Thermal layering
Now dat's a fire!
...scary shit...
You guys couldnt of gave me that trailer and used mine in the video? Such a waste of a decent mobile home
I know this is a practice...........but who has shredded paper an pallets in their livingroom...................plus up the hall............
+Kim Ludlow I suppose its to simulate other stuff they'd have laying around. You know, chairs, books, etc. Using the shredded paper and pallets are a lot cheaper than actually furnishing the home, but provide for a decent replication.
Shouldn't have to be questioned.. I mean it's a simulation, but if it really must be answered.. The shredded paper for one could simply be kindling and have zero meaning, or two, it could represent books, newspapers, magazines, etc. The pallet would obviously represent some type of furniture. Furniture has wood in it. Pallets are wood...
that's nothing
Wow that became untenable fast!
the trailers befor 76 have the bad rep, many ppl dont know that since 76 they have been improved so they are stronger and safer. my 97 double wide has 2x6 floor and exterior walls and sheetrock interior, on the thin side sure but still sheetrock, better than that paneling and my ceiling is sheetrock like any other home, no strips. also the confined space of those old single wides plays a big roll.
Must've had a Federal Breaker box
@@jeffgarrett2114 Jeff... Dude.... True freaking story... Me and my mom and dad had a Federal Pacific Electric breaker box..... All I can say is that dear Lord Jesus was watching our asses all that time that we had one of those boxes because those mother freaking breakers let me tell you those goddamn piece of s*** breakers have had a nasty habit of causing fires thank God we didn't have stuff like that happened although God knows we had to replace a few over the years and it was getting harder and harder to get them because they didn't want to sell them in our area anymore because of course the underwriters laboratories were not going and covering them any longer or giving their their listing to them thankfully the second place that we moved into or should I say the third trailer that we had had different breakers I think they were GE but we dodged a bullet for a very long time when we had the trailer with the Federal Pacific breaker box true story dude!
@@mikegallant811 you are absolutely correct. I am an electrical contractor and replace those panels all the time. Your parents should have immediately hired an electrician to replace just the panel. Depending on size, It could have cost under $1000.
Definitely worth a life or just for peace of mind. And definitely a most important priority!!
And if you rented, there is all kinds of documentation you could have presented to the landlord, even to meet your parents half way, or discount rent until it's paid for?
@@kevinlynch1227 thankfully that time is long past, and my now widowed mom lives in elderly housing and I in a nice apartment in Ludlow for her and Springfield for me respectively. My late adoptive father deceased of metastatic esophageal cancer in 2014 the last mobile home that we lived in had a good and safe ge breaker box, God be thanked. Let's put it this way, trailers/mobile homes are not firetraps or automatic coffins, but..... You do need to be careful.
Hey Mike, I figured it was a while back and you did say you had moved. Surprisingly there are still a lot of those panels still in operation.
So sorry to hear about your Dad. Cancer is always a difficult way to go. Hope your Mom is doing well?
My both parents are gone now. It's not easy to lose loved ones!
I agree with you. Fully furnished homes go up just as quickly and often, whether a house or trailer, there are only minutes to escape. The nice thing about a trailer with a smoke detector is that if the window is big enough, you are close to the ground.
Families should always sleep with the bedroom doors closed and have access to the window. Growing up our bedrooms had access to the roof except my room. One of my bottom drawers was designated to portable chain ladder.
Always good to be safe and have a meeting place outside
Ok Man, you be well.
canada eh
I live in Canada
cool
Marcos Villafuetre 🇨🇦👍
That wack down
Just looking at that smoke makes me cringe. I hate the smell of plastic burning.
Not realistic,it should be full of all household items,then you will see true fire spread and how much time you dont have to get out.
Ray!!!!
lol That got hot Fast!
arsonests at heart
Shit not even four minutes till the whole thing was up. Feel bad for people who live out of town and have to wait 10_15 mins for help
It's almost impossible to put a good stop on a trailer fire even in a city.
I live down the street from the fire department
