I am wondering, how and when do you know when to vent a burning building? I see on you tube, Windows breaking, most popular vent, how do you know where and when to vent a building?

Asked by Christine over 9 years ago

Once water supply is adequate and suppression teams are in place ventilation is usually started. Some depts use ventilation as a way to locate the fire by providing oxygen to bring out the hidden hot spots. But generally ventilation are done at the same time.

Hi! Thank you for answering all these questions (and fighting fires). In your experience, under what circumstances would a house fire go out on its own? If it started in the kitchen for example?

Asked by Emma over 8 years ago

Seen it happen. Family left a candle burning on coffee table. Set the table on fire and caught the carpet on fire burned the carpet then went out. Depends on what is burning and how much fuel is available.

I'm trying to decide between an ABC dry chem extinguisher or Purple K for my car. ABC could stop interior or grass fires but it supposedly causes serious corrosion issues after. Purple K doesn't but only works on liquids. Would you have any guidance?

Asked by Nick about 8 years ago

No brained ABC, cars are made up of so many materials. If your car catches fire it is usually toast anyway
