VEIS Under Live Fire?
With Real Fuels?
Why yes, yes we did…
KTF Burns and SC Fire Academy performed several research burns with VEIS and this is one such example…
You can see the fire below, the conditions inside (optically & thermally) And!!!
Some solid ladder and search work by the crew of S.A.F.E firefighter.
Notice the lack of visibility and why it’s important to have the crew member directing the search firefighter with the TIC…
Notice the TIC shows moving gray convection currents above the fire room…
The thermocouple readings were approximately 300 degrees upstairs…
Keep watching for more videos, more training, and more expierientially relevant examples of what firefighters need to know!
Special thanks to KTF Burns, SC Fire Academy, Fire Rescue TV and S.A.F.E. Firefighter.
