Experiment conducted by NIST with the initial vent openings being only the 2nd floor window. Fire growth and smoke development are shown. After the fire becomes ventilation limited the front door is opened to show the change in flow path and fire dynamics. | Fire Safety Research Institute

Wind-driven fire conditions dramatically increase risk. This footage shows 30 mph winds and their impact on fire behavior. 🌬️ Flow path acceleration 🔥 Rapid fire spread ⚠️ Increased exposure risk 💬 What indicator tells you the incident has become wind-driven to the extent that fire attack is adjusted? 🎥 Credit: unknown #FireEducation #FireBehavior #FlowPath #flashpointequipment | Flashpoint Equipment
