Re: Backdraft of Semi Trailer Kills Battalion Fire Chief
They made a movie about this sort of thing, it was literally called “Backdraft”.

Re: Backdraft of Semi Trailer Kills Battalion Fire Chief
I'm no expert but that seemed like a really dumb thing to do, especially knowing the driver ran off into the woods I'd be suspicious of what was in the back.

Re: Backdraft of Semi Trailer Kills Battalion Fire Chief
Fire wants oxygen really bad. Inside the truck the oxygen is being depleted. Once the door was opened the fire had fresh oxygen to use and thus the explosion.

Re: Backdraft of Semi Trailer Kills Battalion Fire Chief
In oxygen starved fires, heating material can turn into hot gases that are ready to combust but there's not enough oxygen to do so. As an opening is made, oxygen is allowing in an that hot gas that is already hot and primed to combust, do so violently. this is call backdraft because it will blow out from where the oxygen come in.

Re: Backdraft of Semi Trailer Kills Battalion Fire Chief
I guess he must've barely passed the fire academy. What hte hell was he rying to do? was there people trapped in there? Let me go back of the truck with huge fuel tanks and smack it. At least he'll be a good training video for others on what not to do. He couldn't even wait til the fire was out. His poor kids tho. |
