Here is a good video from our buddy Dale Pekel. Dale has a series of great training videos. In this video, he shows some basics about size up and reading smoke.
We have to do more of this, and like Dale says, be proactive. Train hard and we’ll see you on the “big one.”
Check out the link to this video of a backdraft that injured one firefighter. I don’t know that there is a lot that could have been done because it is such a short clip.
But, it is important to look for the signs and read the signs of smoke conditions that could indicate a backdraft.
Let me know what you think and stay safe out there.
