My ubkce wanted to demolish a house to rebuild many years ago. He donated it to the fire bridge and they burnt it to down. Had to remain furnished.

Somebody help me out here I can only understand every fourth word from what he's saying.

He is giving a training course in what different stages of a fire look like and how to identify them to evaluate danger levels and the source of the fire even when the flames are not easily visible. Also explaining what "flashover" is and what it looks like. You can find more information on these from someone not inside a mask using that keyword probably haha.

Fire in a controlled setting. The first and most important hominid invention. This is what kickstarted human evolution.

Anybody else assume this was a heavy metal music video from the image? My first thought was not "this is going to be educational."

Smoke is unburnt fuel, remember that kids

Also know that humans and fire require the same amount of oxygen to live like 19%

But fires are much easier to revive in a very hot, oxygen free environment

Good example if anyone has one- but that’s exactly how smokeless fire rings work. They’re smokeless cause the smoke is being burned

By adding more oxygen. great invention. Easy too.

There's far more to it than that, but sure keep it simple.

Yes. You are correct. Smoke is *LOTS* of things and you can tell a lot about a fire and what it's consuming and where it's headed. One could argue its more liquid in dynamics and I *could* go on about its intricacies and complexities and how dangerous it is, but alas.

This is Imgur. People upvote for the pithy, quick-witted comment, not *necessarily* for the education. I mean no disrespect to a fair amount of UserSub, but it ain't what gets the clicks, y'know?

Exactly.Situation matters too. For most people if you see smoke get away from it. But for someone regularly working with fire being able to read the smoke characteristics gives you valuable information about what is happening in the fire to better manipulate it.

Even better, it’s vaporized and/suspended fuel. I was always fascinated watching the smoke form and then catch fire in campfires. Especially when it’s a jet of smoke coming from the end of a log.
