Multiple hoses had been deployed and were whistling as the water flew through the nozzles. The fire crept through the whole entire house leaving nothing in its path. As the flames died down throughout the house, I was tired and sore from all the hard work that was done. As the fire slowly ended, Chief 12-1 from command had marked the situation under control. Foam was placed on the little patches of flames that were still burning throughout the piles of rubble that were once part of a fully, well-built house.
Joseph Walker 2/10/12 Intro to Security The Station Nightclub Fire There were many issues regarding this nightclub that caused this horrible fire that claimed the lives of 100 people. There were a couple threats involved that made this fire so bad. The main threat that happened was the pyrotechnics failed and ignited a flame on the stage. One of the bad design flaws of this building was that they used a highly flammable insulation. This insulation is known as polyurethane foam insulation.
In 1977 the Forest Service made carrying fire shelters mandatory for all firefighters after three fatalities occurred on the Battlement Creek Fire. The Mann Gulch fire obviously happened before shelters were invented, but if these men would have been carrying them, the outcome could have been very different. There have been numerous cases since the implementation of fire shelters where crews have been overtaken by wildfires and lived to talk about it. In most cases, the sole reason for survival, was the use of fire shelters. The shelters are able to shield trapped firefighters from the radiant heat of the fire, as well as give them a small amount of breathable air amidst the superheated gases.
____blows out hot air_________ 2. What does a thermostat do if it gets too hot? _______stops blowing hot air_____________ 3. How do our bodies sometimes act like a thermostat? _______in homeostasis, negative feedback is used in the same way, by increasing the stimulus until it is excessive and then decreasing or stopping___________________________________________________ _______________________________________________ Gizmo Warm-up To survive, an organism must be able to maintain stable internal conditions in a changing environment.
He runs a few steps more while the blood spouts from his neck like a fountain.” (Remarque 115) That was caused by a fire that lifted 100 yards. The soldiers had no escape from the fire because they were down in the trenches. That is a reason why trenches were not good at times. Overall the trench warfare was great for defense. Sometimes the trenches cause more deaths then they protected.
(Taylor) The spark then burst into flames, with the fire expanding rapidly behind the stage. Some people on stage tried to stop the fire from spreading by lowering the curtains, but it struck a few feet above the floor. Then the lights went out, and then that part of the stage collapsed. (Secter) Some employees tried to extinguish the fire but when that failed people began to panic. (Sauberman) The fire started spreading quickly, catching fire to drapery, decorations, and scenery flats.
This chapter describes the events occurring on the day in a personal matter. From pages 6 to 7, the book describes the smoke and flames pouring into the building and the sense of panic that took over the factory. Than describes how she was able to be one of the lucky ones who escaped that day. It was said, “As Rose was led down the steps of the other building, she sometimes stopped and cried” (Nobleman 7). This shows the sense of relief as well as terror as she could have been dead or trapped inside of the burning factory.
My data shows that in lab one, the bottom and the top are not very different. In the line graph, it shows that the two lines are very close to each other showing that they are not apart by a ton. The reason that this conclusion appeared was because the heat traveled from the bottom of the beaker to the top through a liquid. This shows in my research because it shows that the temperature at the top of the beaker was heating up almost just as fast as the bottom. This reminds me of the motions it takes to heat a liquid, how the hotter water at the bottom moves up while the colder water moves down and so
Mike and Charlie had been good friends since Mike had been hired by the fire department. The other guys dived to stop Charlie about 10 feet from the fire and they pulled him down the hallway towards the window they had entered. He was screaming “Let me go!”. but the men didn’t listen and they saved his life in the end. They reached the ladder and were escorted down where they got new oxygen.
It is what essentially leads to the explosion that devastated the small town. The blast killed 14 and injured approximately 160 people. Most of the dead were not employees of West Fertilizer Co., but first responders and residents of the town. Firefighters and Police were the first on the scene, followed by residents and on lookers, wanting to get a glimpse of the flames. They were all unaware of the dangers that lurked only a few several hundred feet away, large tanks of ammonium nitrate.
