Ever wondered how firefighters prepare for the intense heat of a flashover? Our flashover chamber is a crucial training tool that simulates the rapid spread of fire, allowing firefighters to observe and understand fire behavior in a controlled environment. This training helps them recognize the signs of a flashover and respond effectively, ensuring their safety and enhancing their skills. Last week, GRPSTC’s Bridge Recruits had their flashover day. | Glendale Fire Department

What is FLASHOVER? Flashover is a very rapid transition from local burning of the contents within a compartment to widespread burning of all exposed fuels with that compartment. Flashover occurs because all the combustible material in the room have been heated to their ignition temperature and there is an almost simultaneous ignition. A flashover can occur in as little as 90 seconds from the ignition of a residential fire. Not every fire results in a flashover occuring nor is a flashover predict

#Flashover occurs when the contents of a room reach ignition temps simultaneously and recognizing these conditions is a crucial #Firefighter survival skill. In this clip, the MFA’s #Flashover Simulator trailer demonstrates them at #Easthampton FD. TY Chief Norris for hosting! | Massachusetts Department of Fire Services

Great footage of a room flashover occurring in real-time. This was at a NFPA 1403 compliant burn with no carpet or floor finishing apart from the subfloor. Let us know your thoughts in the comments.

Take a look at Big Bend Community College Medical Simulation's newest simulator, the Gaumard Pediatric HAL. The manikin is considered the world's most advanced pediatric patient simulator and the first capable of simulating lifelike emotions through dynamic facial expressions, movement, and speech. Students will begin working with HAL this fall. #BigBendCC | Big Bend Community College
