Great work Matt. Great to hear an Australian accent doing these videos. I have been educating our brigade and group of brigades for the last few years about gas cooling before entry and also not opening windows and doors until the B.A. teams are set up and give the go ahead via the incident controller. This video was just what I needed. Glenn Webster CFA Lieutenant.
Hi Matt, I'm doing the NEBOSH diploma in health and safety, your videos are a great source of info and delivered in a way that its easy to understand, they have helped me a lot, thanks.
verrrrrrrry interesting, especially for someone who is deathly afraid of dying in a fire.....I can NOT go anywhere near a building or house that is burned out, I get nightmares and panic attacks.......but I am trying to get over it by learning how fire works.......I have the Station Fire all circulating footage on my saved list, I hope I can get past this fear.
Well hopefully learning about it takes away some of the unknown and eases your fear of it a bit. Nice work being proactive and seeking out information 🙂👍🏼
Hey Matt, Pommie fire engineer here from London. What a great way of presenting fire facts. So interesting and informative. Keep it going mate, and thanks.
I think of it as the heat from a fire bakes the smoke/syngas out of the materials in the room. Finally the heat in the room reaches ignition of the syngas in the smoke and everything ignites if there is air to feed it.
I’m absolutely loving these videos. I know nothing about fire. I’m hoping to write a little story where fire will be one element and I’ve got so much to think about. Thanks for this series, and protecting the community.
Hi Martin. I'm glad you like the videos so far. I do want to make a backdraft video but I'm holding off until I have the time (and resources) to do it justice. So I'll be making one.. just not sure when 🙂 hope the study is going well 👍🏼
Thanks! More are on the way! They are just taking some time to finish. This is my main social media account for fire stuff. I do have a instagram account. But i don't really use it🔥
Hi Vera. Flame over (aka roll over) is when a flammable mixture of smoke ignites above the neutral plane and "rolls" across the room. It's also been called the dancing angels. Flame over is actually a sign that flashover is getting closer. Flashover refers to the transition from a fire within the room to the entire room catching on fire. Hope this helps 🙂
G'day mate. Thanks for asking but I don't make tactics related videos. Tactics is something that is highly variable across the planet and any one tactic may contradict another one (there is more than one way to fight a fire). Therefore I think that kind of information should come from your own organisation. Fire dynamics.(these videos) is a bit different because fire is quite consistent across the planet as fire dosen't change only the conditions do. Hope that answers your question. 🔥
@@MattDavis5 My point was, there aren't any. People and organizations just make videos on the problems but not the solutions. The downside or aftermath and not how to avoid the problems. Like Vertical Venting. Plenty of videos of hole cutting but none showing conditions improving inside. Flashover but not how to eliminate combustion and cool the gasses. Lots of glamour but not the work
With this film I understand better about the flash over as to how it builds up to that point, but before it builds up to that critical temperature for the flash over, my question remains: if one firefighter or 2 uses a hose to try to cold down the smoke... whys doesn't one more firefighter use an othe water hose to put down the actual fire? at the same time? Has this been tried? HM

CFA Lieutenant.
Thanks Glenn, Glad to hear the vid is coming in handy for you. And great work with the training 👍🏼
I fall asleep while watching this video last night
Um… you’re welcome? 😂

Hi Tim, thanks for the message. It's cool to know that the vids have helped you! Hope the study goes well!
Hey matt, I'm an aviation firefighter is there any website I can apply for in US ?
Continuing to be really interesting!
Loving the videos! You explain it super well. Would love some pump videos and also on backdraft :) thanks and keep up the good work.
Thanks! Glad you like them. Some great ideas! Thanks :)
Another excellent video mate. Good work 👍
Thanks Paul 👍🔥

Thanks Robin! I'm glad you like them ! It was my hope to try and make this kind of information a little easier to access 🙂
The only trouble I had was to be able to locate all your episodes as I want to watch them in sequence. Have I missed something? Thanks again.
Took me back to my compartment training
I think of it as the heat from a fire bakes the smoke/syngas out of the materials in the room. Finally the heat in the room reaches ignition of the syngas in the smoke and everything ignites if there is air to feed it.

You're welcome! And what a cool idea!! Good luck with the story 🙂
Excelente explicación! EL mejor video que encontré.
Thanks! Glad you like it!
Awesome video and explanation . I learned a lot from this video! Thank you very much sir!
Thanks! Glad you liked it!!
Fires are so intelligent ..Thank you
There’s always more to learn! And you’re welcome!
From South Africa, i am Loving your videos. i am studying fire safety and risk management with NEBOSH. Can you please explain in detail backdraught
Hi Martin. I'm glad you like the videos so far. I do want to make a backdraft video but I'm holding off until I have the time (and resources) to do it justice. So I'll be making one.. just not sure when 🙂 hope the study is going well 👍🏼
You mentioned that you would release episode for ventilation controlled and fuel controlled
I could not find it
Funny you should ask. I haven’t released it yet. But I am working on it at the moment. It will hopefully be out in the next few weeks 🙂
@@MattDavis5I have an assignment which must be submitted tomorrow 😅
I am using your videos to match the theory
Hello, have a suggestion! Maybe you could explain a rollover? Im not quite sure what it is. Thanks.
Hi there, thanks for the suggestion! I put it on the list!! I'm currently working on another video. But maybe once that one is done 🙂
Awesome from iowa.
Thanks 👍🏼
Awesome Videos Matt. Do you have any other media sources? Instagram? Keep the great vids coming.
Thanks! More are on the way! They are just taking some time to finish. This is my main social media account for fire stuff. I do have a instagram account. But i don't really use it🔥
Hi Matt well done I would love to acquire your backdraft video
Hi Fazard. I actually havent made one yet. But it's on the "to do" list 🙂
Hi Matt, I have a question, what's the difference between a flame over and a flash over?
Hi Vera. Flame over (aka roll over) is when a flammable mixture of smoke ignites above the neutral plane and "rolls" across the room. It's also been called the dancing angels. Flame over is actually a sign that flashover is getting closer. Flashover refers to the transition from a fire within the room to the entire room catching on fire. Hope this helps 🙂
Where are all the videos on Flashover Prevention Training or Vertical Ventilation, How It Works Training or How to Stop Stuff from Burning Training?
G'day mate. Thanks for asking but I don't make tactics related videos. Tactics is something that is highly variable across the planet and any one tactic may contradict another one (there is more than one way to fight a fire).

No wonder those poor people jumped
Could you subtitle in Spanish, it will be very helpful, your explanations are very good
Thanks, I'll see if I can add them as an option 👍🏼
It's pyrolyze, not pyrolysise. Noun is pyrolysis.
Thankyou, I correct it in later videos
