Dan Madryzkowski on key findings from fire dynamics research; understanding that a ventilation limited fire can present itself on the fireground in many ways.⁠ ⁠

Smoke explosion or backdraft? 💥(real time and then slow motion) On the fireground, the truth is: ⚠️ They’re both overpressure events 👀 Hard to differentiate in real time 🧠 Recognition and early action matter most 💬 What indicators make you concerned an overpressure event is developing? 📚 Excellent training resource from FSRI: https://training.fsri.org/resources/1/class-b-flowpath-prop-hands-on-training-toolkit/156/overpressure-fire-events #FireEducation #FireBehavior #FlowPath #flashpointequipment

In this clip from the #FDIC2025 NextGen Fire Rescue Tech Summit, Tom Jenkins (UL FSRI) challenges the fire service to break free from outdated data systems and embrace near real-time, 2-way data exchange with NERIS.⁠ ⁠ It’s time to move beyond digitized paper and truly modernize how we understand risk, tell our story, and support our firefighters.⁠ ⁠ 🔥 Watch the full session at the link in bio!

FSRI report on the Impact of Fire Attack Utilizing Interior and Exterior Streams on Firefighter Safety & Occupant Survival states regarding Transitional Attack: 7.10 Suppression Operations, Both Interior and Transitional, Did Not Increase Potential Burn Injuries to Occupants When arriving at a residential structure fire, assessing the impact of your tactical decisions may have on occupants trapped inside the structure requires a knowledge of how these tactical decisions effect occupant survivability. The potential negative consequences of water application are high- lighted throughout fire service literature and training manuals [6]. These negative consequences focus on the impact to a victim located immediately outside the fire compartment. In this study, instrumentation was located immediately outside the compartment to assess the potential impacts of the various tactics chosen. Additionally, victims were located in adjacent bedrooms outside the flow path, in the path of travel of the approaching hose crew and at the opposite corner of the structure from the fire compartment. No potential burn injuries were observed at the victims located remote from the fire (Victim 4 and Victim 5) and at the victim located behind a closed door (Victim 2). The victim immediately outside the fire compartments (Victim 1) and the victim in the adjacent bedroom on the bed (Victim 3) both had potential burn injuries. When fire department intervention was delayed, these locations received third and fourth degree burns during the longer duration exposures.

Firefighters, take time to educate your loved ones as well as the community members you serve! As holiday wish lists fill with the latest tech gadgets, the Fire Safety Research Institute (FSRI), part of UL Research Institutes, reminds shoppers of the unique fire risks lithium-ion batteries pose and how to prevent fires through proper storage, charging and recycling. Lithium-ion batteries are commonly found in household items like personal shavers, remote control toys, drones, laptops, handheld power tools, e-scooters and lawn equipment. While lithium-ion battery-powered devices have many benefits, such as longer charge time and higher efficiency, they also pose unique fire risks. They store energy more densely than traditional batteries and can become unstable if damaged (punctured, swollen), improperly used (overcharged) or exposed to extreme temperatures. This instability can lead to overheating, sparking and even explosions.

FIre Moves fast. Plan ahead to save lives.⠀ ⠀ DKY? You may only have 3 Minutes or less to escape once a fire starts in your home. ⠀ ⠀ ■ Install Working Smoke Alarms⠀ Smoke alarms give you and your loved ones the earliest warning possible that there is a fire, so you can get out of your home quickly and safely. Install smoke alarms in every sleeping room, outside each separate sleeping area, and on every level of the home. Check your smoke alarms twice a year and replace them once⠀ they stop working according to the manufacturer's recommendations. When replacing or buying new smoke alarms, look for products that are third-party listed or certified.⠀ ⠀ ■ Close Before You Doze®⠀ A closed door can be an effective barrier against deadly levels of carbon monoxide, smoke, and flames, and may give you more time to respond to the smoke alarm. In fact, there can be a 900-degree Fahrenheit temperature difference between a room with an open door and one with a closed door. While a room with an open door may reach 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit a room with a closed door may only reach 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Make closing doors at night part of your bedtime routine.⠀ ⠀ ■ Create and Practice a Fire Escape Plan If there is a fire in your home, there won't be time to plan a way out in the moment. Create an escape plan for your home and practice it with your family so you're ready for a fire emergency. Don't wait, plan ahead. ⠀ ⠀ #cobbcounty #reels #SmokeAlarmsSaveLives #instagram #reels #reelsinstagram #firefighters #fire #crr #fireengineering #fsri #closebeforeyoudoze #smoke @cobbcountyfire @pauldavisatl⠀ ⠀
