🔥🚒 FIRE BEHAVIOR: WHAT FIREFIGHTERS ARE REALLY WATCHING 🚒🔥

When most people see flames, firefighters are watching the smoke.

Smoke can reveal what a fire is doing, where it may spread, and how dangerous conditions are becoming.

This infographic highlights several fire phenomena that firefighters study, including:

🔥 Rollover – flames appearing in the hot smoke layer overhead
🔥 Flashover – a room rapidly transitioning to full involvement
🔥 Backdraft – a dangerous ignition caused by introducing oxygen to a ventilation-limited fire
🔥 Fire Gas Ignition
🔥 Smoke Ignition
🔥 Flow Path
🔥 Thermal Layering

Modern fire science has taught us that smoke is fuel. The color, volume, velocity, and movement of smoke can provide valuable clues about fire conditions.
