Hi, I'm Joe Berthold out here at Flashover and FDIC. We're gonna teach you inside the container about the fire conditions, fire tactics and strategies that you're going to need to use in order to keep yourself safe, your team safe with our modern fire fuel loads. In addition to that, we're going to give you a comprehensive lecture packets and information to take home lesson plans, tips and techniques on how to do a doll house so that you have information to take back with you. Because we understand not everybody can come out and take flashover training so that you could take this back, share it with your departments. And keep everybody else that you know safe, as well as sitting inside the container and learning from some of the best instructors regarding the warning signs that you may or may not see for flashover. Often firefighters come out and sit through a flashover can training box like this, and it's all about ceremonial gear burning or just how hot can we get it. That's not good training. Come out here, spend some time with us. We start in the morning with a lecture followed by a dollhouse. Then we put you inside the container. We show you stuff from the outside as well. The smoke. Smoke behavior What to look for? But more importantly, you're getting a comprehensive program on the fundamentals and fire behavior, understanding and looking for those warning signs of a flashover event. Unfortunately, in the real world today, flashovers are happening all too quickly, too soon, and too rapidly. Sometimes with no or little warning signs. We'll be pointing out those same things inside the container. We'll give you the view through a thermal imaging camera inside the container so you'll know what to look for in regards to crawling down that hallway at 2:00. Good morning in blinding, thick, dark smoke so you don't get yourself caught. So you can protect your team and protect your crews, so you can make good fundamental and safe and and sound fireground decisions, knowing when to stay and when to get out. Flashover behavior flash over behavior is one of the key and fundamental and often overlooked problems on the fire ground today. Our fuel loads today in our homes are extremely violent. They're like thousands of gallons of gasoline waiting for you. When crawling down that hallway, you have to be mindful of the fire, the dynamics of the fire. The growth of a fire speed of the fire, more importantly, has to understand that that fuel, or smoke, as we often call it, will ignite rapidly, quickly, with very little warning signs. Again, you have to look for these. You have to search them out. If you crawl blindly down that hallway, not paying attention, you may end up the next victim of a flashover. Flashover training has to be comprehensive. It cannot just be sitting inside of a boxer container looking at fire, seeing how hot and how fast we can make it. To be inside that container, you have to look for and have to understand. Somebody has to point out those warning signs. They're very subtle. They're not often black and white. Some of them are there, sometimes they're not there at all. We have to be mindful of it. We have to look for it, and we have to identify them early. They're going to happen quickly and rapidly. Sometimes these warning signs are won't even be present yet. We'll have a flashover type of event. We encourage you to come out, take our training set through our comprehensive program where we have some of the best instructors in the world teaching you about. Clash over, we teach you about the warning signs. We point out what to look for so that when you go back to the real world, you'll be prepared and you won't become complacent on the fire ground. So you do not become a statistic when we deal with flashover events.

A good emergency response plan starts with proper training. Let’s face it; the best fire extinguishers maintained under the best service plan are worthless if your employees are not capable of operating them during an emergency. For this reason, we offer comprehensive fire extinguisher training, both in the classroom and at live fire demonstrations. We use actual fire extinguisher equipment to extinguish the fire, allowing the participants a realistic “hands-on” experience. This experience is invaluable in the event of a true emergency. There is no simulator that can adequately replicate live fire training. Fireline’s fire extinguisher training should be a part of your company’s comprehensive safety training program. #fireline #firelinecorp #firelinecorporation #firesafety #fireprotection #fireprevention #fireextinguisher #fireextinguishertraining #baltimore #leesburg #propertraining #prepared #handsonexperience #livedemonstrations

✨Adding water to a grease fire is extremely dangerous. The water can cause the grease to splatter, spreading the fire and intensifying the flames. ✨This happens because water sinks to the bottom of the pan, vaporizes rapidly, and expands, creating a burst of steam that propels burning grease particles. ✨To extinguish a grease fire, it's crucial to smother it by covering the pan with a lid or using a fire extinguisher designed for grease fires. ✨Fire safety education should be a fundamental part of school curricula. Students should be taught how to respond to various types of fires, including the importance of using the right extinguishing methods. ✨Practical demonstrations and awareness campaigns can help instill proper fire safety habits, ensuring individuals are well-equipped to handle emergencies responsibly. #firesafety #schooleducation

In a situation where someone grabs you from the side, try to stay calm and use techniques like striking their vulnerable areas, such as the eyes, nose, or groin, to create an opportunity to escape. Remember, personal safety is crucial, so consider taking self-defense classes to better prepare for such situations.
