March 8th, 2008 - Flashover Drill
Ten Fair Harbor firefighters led by Asst Chief Brendan Reynolds
turned out on a very wet day to drill in the "Flashover Chamber" at the
Suffolk County Fire Academy. After a 30 minute classroom session, we
spent several minutes inside the chamber in full turnout gear and SCBA
breathing apparatus, with an intense fire filling the raised portion of
the chamber. We were able to observe and experience a flashover - the
condition where the entire room ignites simultaneously. This drill gives
us valuable knowledge and experience of one of the most dangerous and
severe fire conditions that can occur during a firefight. See the
gallery for more photos.
