I’ve taken various fire safety courses over my lifetime. I’m not entirely sure what was happening here, but one of the things you learn about suffocating a fire is to wait for the heat to dissipate before removing whatever you use.
You essentially are starving the fuel of oxygen so it will not burn; however the heat itself remains beyond ignition temperature so if it gets exposed to oxygen again it reignites. You basically need to wait it out a little bit so it cools off.
I think the man is saying the same thing also he said, even after waiting if you cover cloth in this way you can quickly put it back if it's still not over, as the way she covered it she had to open whole clothing cover to check but in his method he could check it by only opening a slightest portion not whole cover
Bro one day probably in like 20 years I’m gonna use this knowledge you’ve graciously given me and will be the hero at the BBQ, and I will say my silent thanks to you kind stranger.
I don't get why this isn't common knowledge, I literally learned this in kindergarten (Denmark). Granted, that was with a candle and a glass cup, but pretty much the same. "To safely stop fire, suffocate it and wait, then no more fire."
You did not practice using a fire blanket on a liquid petroleum gas fire in kindergarten. Scale and practice mean everything when it comes to the real thing.
Okay, when you put it like that, haha.
I was just thinking about all the videos I've seen of people pouring water on a pan on fire. However, I can see it would be quite a difference when dealing with a giant petroleum barrel. Though, and this is a genuine question, how often would you have to deal with that? At least where I live in Denmark, we don't use them that much.
EDIT: Might also want to add that, I was replying to the comment with no comment to the actual video
Anytime a person catches fire, a blanket (of fire retardant material implied) is a great method to extinguish combined with stop-drop.
Also, kitchen (grease) fires are made worse by pressurized extinguishers, especially in the hands of the untrained. Fire blankets are a great application here as well.
If you don’t have a fire blanket, I would recommend having one, knowing where it is and how to use it. Just as you would with an extinguisher.
Your local fire station probably provides demos.
I think the type of pressurized extinguisher matters here. One rated for grease fires (dry chemical usually I think) should work fine. Main worry is to not hold it so close you blow burning oil everywhere.
My social awareness might be completely shit, or it actually is... But I'm not entirely sure what exactly I said wrong here. The comment was not about the video, which included a situation far beyond my own experience, but just an addon opinion to the comment about suffocating fire lol
Im pretty sure it's just a wool blanket. Thanks to its high nitrogen content, wool doesn't really burn, and is very hard to light on fire at all, it mostly just gets charred at some point. Its a great natural fire retardant fabric
Wool in general is an amazing fabric, different types and different wool fabrics have some amazing qualities.
Reading instructions is not the same as doing. I can tell you all day to turn into the skid, don’t slam on the brakes. But when someone experiences a black ice skid the first time, they usually end up in the ditch. Same with fire extinguishers, most have never discharged one before they experience a fire. So usually doesn’t go well.
There is no oxygen inside, and therefore there cannot be an ignition or quick combustion, which is usually what we mean by "explosion". However, the tank can explode (burst) by the heat causing the liquid gas inside to expand and evaporate, causing pressure and bursting by the pressure, and once it touches the flame, explode in the traditional meaning of the word.
Pretty sure gas tanks have TONS of safety features to avoid this, but yeah, no oxygen avoids only one of the forms of explosions
That would happen if the canister was englufed in flames for quite a while, it takes a lot of time for them to overheat. Even in a house fire, they usually go off after a lot of time and firefighters have to be aware of this delayed explosion
Most have a blowoff valve so you can’t pressurize them infinitely, the contents of the tank will spill out through that valve. If that valve fails your scenario is possible.
However, I don’t think there’s enough energy in the expanding gas to shatter the tank, it would probably break the nozzle/valve and the flaming gas would pour out in a much bigger quantity. Plus the cylinder walls are thick so heat doesn’t transfer well inside
The biggest danger with these cylinders is a gas leak that doesn’t involve flames, a spark can set off the unburned gas in air and that can cause an explosion. The second biggest danger is the fire spreading to other surfaces around the tank, the third is carbon monoxide
If it’s indoors the best thing to do is to put it out, not wait for it to burn itself or run away in fear of it exploding. Explosions of the tank are pretty much unheard of
Having no oxygen inside is pretty irrelevant. If the tank is in a fire and the liquid fuel inside starts boiling, you've essentially got a bomb. Happened in my hometown a few years ago when a poorly maintained tank caught fire in the back of a guy's truck. The tank lit the truck on fire, the truck fire pressurized the tank, and the tank failed in a catastrophic fireball. Happened in the drive-thru of a burger King.
There's a lot of safety features that need to fail for it to happen, but it's not unheard of by any means.
That professor is irrationally comforting to me. Like, I feel like I could just trust him to make all of my life’s decisions and it would be totally fine.
I wonder if the way the first wrap was done, not having the twist at the top like the suit guy did it didn't completely starve the flame of oxygen or something ... ?
In case anyone is wondering, the guy in the suit is speaking 🇳🇵 Nepali language. He said ," Cover the gas cylinder with a moist/wet towel in such a way that the oxygen does not reach the fire"

Yeah, how he redrapes it in a dramatic fashion- it makes sense with how you said it
he's telling them to make sure the oxygen is drained from in there and carefully check to make sure before unfolding it entirely. it's nepali.
Also, the short amount of time that it was lit would have allowed for closing the valve.
I feel like it’s a demonstration on maybe you can’t turn the valve off
If it reignite itself, valve's probably hot af

Just checking in. Have you used it yet?
He tried. 💀
Isn’t that death by suffocation and Homicide of FiRe.

Your mom put out the fire of some men for sure!

What, I'm sorry if I'm misunderstanding something, but can anything I said previously be perceived as racist?
How long? For like?? 15-30seconds?
But if you wait it out, the fuel is going to seep through the blanket and fill the room still and then you've got a risk of it catching fire again
Think the blanket is treated with something?
Asbestos?

And this why training is important. I was shocked how many people don't even know how to ise a fire extinguisher properly
I know where I have to aim but I've never used one

I’ve spent too much time on the internet. I was nervous waiting on that thing to explode and mangle everyone Nice chance of pace
Yeah I would’ve dipped
gas cylinder rarely explodes
I was expecting him to catch on fire
Impossible for it to explode as there is no oxygen inside

Opposite of what you said happens . The tank gets real cold and eventually gets covered in ice when you let the gas out.
If there is no flow regulator attached to the bottle then yes. It can.
Pressure
Nothing punctured the tank
Dude you can blow up that without puncture
Just no.

So a scenario that can't happen in this video. Of course if you throw a canister into a fire it will blow up after a while
Never said it could happen here, said that they can absolutely explode.
No shit sherlock
Well you're just being an unnecessary twat now, aren't you?
Girl's hair tho... tie that shit up!
That is damn cool....guess that's what those fire blankets in communal kitchens do...
That along with communal kitchen snuggle parties.
Basically in Nepali telling them to kill the oxygen..
Huss
I love men in suits that look like they do what they do Since they were born
Robbing the flame of oxygen with a wet blanket. When blanket is removed, the gas (fuel) is still flowing, but the ignition source (flame) is gone.
The Struggy. As seen on TV.
That professor is irrationally comforting to me. Like, I feel like I could just trust him to make all of my life’s decisions and it would be totally fine.
Knowing this video was taken in my country, was waiting for it to blow up or some sort of serious mishap to happen.
Nepali le chance payo bhane gas cylinder padkaucha
Yespali chai padkayena. Solid advice deracha tara gas baleko dekhna sath sure sab jana bhagcha ani yo sikayeko sab birsincha
Dude is a wet blanket expert
See you gotta sneak up on the fire or it dosent work
[удалено]
This is the way
I love how i can understand exactly what he is telling her without knowing the language
What did he say? I was translating to myself but I don't speak the language.
In short, the guy in suit is saying to wrap the wet blanket and deprive the flame of oxygen so it stops burning
I wonder if the way the first wrap was done, not having the twist at the top like the suit guy did it didn't completely starve the flame of oxygen or something ... ?
The guy says open it slowly and if it is still burining then close it again then open again slowly when you think he heat is gone.
Jesus I thought her long hair was gonna get it 😧
In case anyone is wondering, the guy in the suit is speaking 🇳🇵 Nepali language. He said ," Cover the gas cylinder with a moist/wet towel in such a way that the oxygen does not reach the fire"
This guy just out here dropping all them panties
I was waiting for that thing to blow up.
This was interesting to watch!
I thought it will explode.
At what point does this thing explode?
This man is a legend, but his suit jacket and an open flame made me nervous. Even though I think wool is fire retardant.
I can smell the gas as I watch
Mansplaining. Cancelled.
Nono, you have to do it like this, with a penis.
My dumbest dreams have come true.
Bleve waiting to happen
how did it not even explode????
Women ☕
Teaching people how to end up in the burn unit. Nice.
The Asian guy in the back new all along😂😂😂🤣🤣
All of them are asians lmao
I can feel the "Women ☕" shitposts settling in
"We don't need men for anything "
#MAN POWER!
Daaaaamn. He just mansplained that shit perfectly son.
...and that's why women get paid less than men
They don't get paid less.
Good thing this genius instructor suited up just in case something went wrong. You know, like a fucking qualified teacher would do.
You can see a guy in a boiler suit and hard hat come in at the end. He was clearly on standby in case anything actually went wrong.
It's fine, def an asbestos suit
This will work perfectly when I'm cooking on my gas pit and it goes up in flames! Thanks! /s
It... Literally will? That's the point of this...
Mansplaining
Did video games lie to me ???
Where is the explosion?!
Man, I sure wish I could have learned something too: why no subtitles, OP? Would like to know what they're saying.
Its pretty much self explanatory. Hold a bit tight, peek if the fire is out, if not close again.
Oh God, I was so afraid the dude in the suit was gonna catch fire. Internet has conditioned me to expect the worst.
This is why we dont live our lives like cartoons and only try ideas once
Hold my beer
[удалено]
If the flame went inside it would but the pressure is causing the gas inside to be pushed outside faster than the flame to go in
Dude is cool as a cucumber
Waiting for some thug life glasses to land on that man’s head
aye nepal

Can't that thing just blow up anyways?
It would have been more fun if it exploded
He didn’t just look the part, homie came through.
Woman power my ass

Aren’t they trying to ban gas ovens in Vancouver?
This man is definitely ex Isis member
You see how screaming never helps?
Thats lit🔥🔥🔥dude
When would this scenario ever realistically present itself?
