    He was celebrating that it worked like they wanted, training is tricky, ask the trainer that was demonstrating to us how magnesium burns and used too much LOL. Before I joined the fire crew, I was caught by a backdraft, a section of duct work caught fire and when we, untrained line workers, tried to put it out, I opened the access cover and heard a weird sucking sound, them flame shot out, catching me on the side of the head. Lost all hair on that side and had second degree burns on my face and neck. If I hadn't jerked back I would of caught it square in the face. Once I became a fireman, I urged any new trainees to take care when opening a door or busting out a window because of that incident.

    This happened to me as a kid about 10 or so I was loading up a burning barrel stove with old garage door panels that had 20 coats of paint on them. I opened the door the smoke was completely still, then felt the wind getting pulled around my head, I slammed the door shut and it immediately was thrown back open and blew the flue apart and was chugging like a runaway train. Needless to say, it scared the crap out of me I opened the garage doors then crawled under the smoke line towards the stove with a small 2lb fire extinguisher and got the fire out. Then I came back with a bucket of water. and put it out. I'm both embarrassed and proud of myself and how I reacted.

      Basically, the fire stops getting enough air to burn, but it's still hot enough to ignite when oxygen is reintroduced. When oxygen is introduced through an opening, like a doorway or a broken window, the fire violently reignites in a lethal conflagration.

    • @simondarcy2217
      @simondarcy2217 6 ปีที่แล้ว +57

      Good question. The fire has died down as it burns away the available oxygen. As there is an oxygen deficit the combustion is less efficient which creates a lot of unburnt product - this appears as smoke. Smoke is a flammable gas - we have created a fuel rich / oxygen deficient atmosphere. As the door is opened it introduces oxygen to the compartment.
      This mixes together to create a "perfect mixture" which will ignite when the balance is correct and the fire builds the temperature. That is why it isn't instantaneous.

      Actually the oxygen is stuck inside the house leaving no air inside
      With only gas and smoke in it
      So gas builds up.

      U feel it and hear it before u see it. It's very odd.
      They are extremely un predictable. Thus why the firefighter in the video went "yay!"
      The door was open for some time . It can happen straight way or some seconds or 30 secs later or not at all.

    Genuine backdraft. It's a barn stall demo. They likely lit a hay bale (in the center.) It smoldered and smoldered...until it finally ate a hole through the bale to the outside. Then, WHAM!
    [You can tell it's a genuine backdraft from the smoke getting pulled back inside several times. Twice on closed, left window. Several points on the open one, at bottom.] Remember, a backdraft will breathe! (Suck and pull at air. Beware the whisps that get pulled back inside!)

    I saw something like that happen to a house in my neighborhood. And it happened just as a firefighter was going around the corner towards the window. I thought he'd been blasted but the angle I was watching from partly obscured what I saw and he was okay. But for a few seconds I thought I'd seen a man burned alive and it scared the....stuff.... out of me.

    • @user-ul6tr5cq3e
      @user-ul6tr5cq3e 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Backdraft, is a fire that is enclosed. The oxygen has been consumed starving the fire. The heat remains. Opening a window, door or such introduces cool oxygenated air causing an explosive reaction. A flashover, the contents of a room become so heated as to simultaneously combust with an extreme increase in heat. This video is not a backdraft, but a smoke explosion...

    • @bestieswithtesties
      @bestieswithtesties 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      ​@@user-ul6tr5cq3e What? How do you properly explain the phenomenon, yet incorrectly say this wasn't it? Yes, it was. The fire is choked out, they open that little hatch on the side introducing fresh oxygen, and BOOM explosion of fire and smoke as it re-ignites thanks to new oxygen. You literally described exactly what this video shows, and then want to claim that's not what it is. Yes it is 😂

    I don’t know why they’re called backdrafts, based on the name I expected it to suck back in.

    • @FurryWrecker911
      @FurryWrecker911 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +17

      Short answer: They're called backdraft because it's blasting the fire _back_ out where the _draft_ is coming in.
      Long answer: When a fire is burning in a confined and poorly ventilated space and runs out of oxygen, it starts to suffocate itself out while remaining super-heated. When you introduce a new source of oxygen like popping a door, a window, or manually putting a hole in a wall, that creates channel to generate a draft of fresh oxygen. The super-heated air in that room - which is VERY hungry for that oxygen - consumes it so fast that all that draft coming in flashes over, trailing _back out the direction it's drafting in from._ And that's why it's called a backdraft.

    • @seriouscat2231
      @seriouscat2231 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Because the temperature inside fluctuates, before the explosion happens, which causes the room to "breathe" in and out. When it draws air in, that part is the backdraft.

    • @seriouscat2231
      @seriouscat2231 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      The explosion is not called backdraft. The situation before it that indicates the danger exists is the backdraft.

      It’s more of a green tint. White smoke is in the early stages usually. In my experience it goes from white to brown to black and then it takes on this weird green hue and there is so much pressure it pushes through the mortar. Hopefully you’re defensive at that point.

      The fire consumed all the oxygen inside the building and then suddenly jumps to the nearest source.

    • @tetrabromobisphenol
      @tetrabromobisphenol 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +78

      Insufficient oxygen in the burning core of a building leads to a buildup of carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, etc., and eventually a pocket of these gases, all of which are above their autoignition temperature, find their way to a source of oxygen and you get nearly supersonic combustion and the resulting fireball.
