This is a fun one! We check out the most common ways to put fires out, how to tell a type of fire by the smoke color, and what to look for in the phases of a fire starting.
We'll look at what flashovers are through a personal story. And what Backdrafts are with another experience.
Then we'll see common fire extinguisher types, and how heat moves into and out of fires - with Fireman Pete.
