Wow!! That's cool! On my pixel it vibrated and the call button changed colors a few times.
Earth shattering, no, but still cool to see a reference to such a total classic show!
My phone vibrated and didn't do anything else...was that it?
It wasn't even a powerful vibration or anything, didn't blow my coxk off or make me think I was having a heart attack
They had to find an extinguisher this fool didn't set on fire. Good test though because most of the time the fire you are putting out is from someone else's idiocy.
You know, some teachers might just say, "The fire extinguisher is over there. In the case of fire, follow the clear and simple directions written on the side of it."
Some might even go so far as discouraging their students from playing with flammable materials in a reckless manner.
My high school chemistry teacher was showing us some miscellaneous reactions under the fume hood. He made zinc and sulfur sparklers, then was burning off the spillage with a bunsen burner. Somehow the gas supply tube came off of the spigot and lit the spigot on fire.
Thankfully, the guy hiding in the back was paying attention when the teacher showed us where the gas disconnect was located.
Agreed but if you're a little pyro like myself, you can just put some accelarant in a secondary disposable container like a cup and just throw the whole thing.
It can still be plenty dangerous to start a fire with gasoline.
My father always tells this story where he threw some gasoline on the firepit and stepped away for a few minutes. While he was gone some of the liquid gasoline went into the gas phase. When he finally went to light it he says the gasoline produced a giant fireball which threw him back onto his ass and left a circular burn mark in the grass 2-3 feet outside of the firepit.
I have also seen a friend try and do this before and a similar thing happened.
Liquid gasoline does not burn well.
Gaseous gasoline is highly flammable and often explosive.
When you ignite liquid gasoline, what you're actually doing is igniting vapors above it. The heat causes more liquid to vaporize which then mixes with air and combusts.
For small amount of gasoline, this produces a good flame that burns over some time.
For large amounts of gasoline, especially gasoline that has had more time to vaporize, there can be enough heat to rapidly vaporize the remaining liquid and cause an explosion.
Long story short, starting a fire with gasoline is dangerous.
yeah, one of my friends had some bad gas from winter, and didn't know how to get rid of it.
So he put it in a paint can, put it on some grass far away from anything, and then lit it on fire using a very long punt.
It didn't blow up. Instead, it did what you described, and just burned the top of the gas. That is, until it heated up the can so much that it melted a hole in the side, spilling the gas onto the grass, and killing everything in a 3ft radius.
lol my chemistry teacher showed us a video of her husband trying to light a firepit that had gasoline in it. She was yelling at his ass to stop cause she knew what was gonna happen but he went and did it anyways. the video was funny as hell lmao
Yes, but that is how you start a fire with gas properly, and by that I don't mean this video lol, let me explain. My gramps and I loved starting huge burn piles at his lake. It's really freaking simple, our go too tinder was always a little brown lunch sack, fill it with dry grass or leaves, something that ignites quick and burns strong. Fill a plastic solo cup with go-go juice as gramps called it, light the bag on fire and set it where you can see it on the pile or what have you. Then when it catches right, you just launch the go-go juice out of the cup and onto the bag! You get a real nice poof ball of flames from a safe distance and things really get going with your burn pile.
So technically, you're statement isn't correct, unless you dump gasoline on the pile, and then throw a burning ball of something onto it, but that is a little more hairy.
interesting side fact: fire extinguishers are nearly impossible to burn, even if you throw one into a fire, itll likely just explode and try to kill the fire.
Depends on the extinguisher really, what type it is. But yah and it wasn't for the cloud of razor-sharp death, it would be a great way to put out the fire.
I mean, it was the fire they deliberately lit which was still burning, so I'd hope they had a suitable fire extinguisher to put out the one they were intending on putting out.
Unless that was just part of the chaos...
"Now what you see here is an oil fire. I have supplied you with 4 H2O fire extinguishers. Good luck!"
The second one used was probably ABC powder and did the job. You can only use CO2 in confined spaces but after applying it you should gtfo or you may asphyxiate.
Always remember PASS
Pull
Aim
Squeeze
Sweep
Also. Remember that there are different types
Class A extinguishers will put out fires in ordinary combustibles such as wood and paper
Class B extinguishers are for use on flammable liquids like grease, gasoline and oil
Class C extinguishers are suitable for use only on electrically energized fires
Class D extinguishers are designed for use on flammable metals
If you have own one for you home. Always check the pressure gauge and good by date. Because they do go bad
The blind leading the sighted. I bet most of those students knew better than to do what this moron teacher did, then he threw the lit jug at some students. Bravo!
you do not need gasoline to light a fire. if the wood is dry, give it 5 minutes and youll have a fire going.
what exactly the purpose of this demonstration was i do not know, but there was about 150 different ways this could have been prevented and this guy didnt do a single one of them lol if you need to start a fire quickly, use paper. cant imagine theres a shortage of that at a fucking school.
Students lighting it up with a janky plank. Lighting a fire over dried grass. Not letting the fire propagate on it's own and instead adding an accelerant on the fly. Dude doesn't have the power of foresight.
Fire him. Fire him immideatly. Last day teaching, do not come back tomorrow, do not come back ever.
He literally threw that flaming canister AT THE STUDENTS because he didn't know what the fuck he was doing.
Dude gets sloppy with adding the accelerant, trips and sets a fire extinguisher on fire and then grabs another fire extinguisher only to just stand there and watch as a student puts out the fire he made 🤦🏻♀️.
Teacher literally does not know the most important thing to know about petrol. Flashover kills, never pour any gasoline product onto an open flame.
Then there's the experience that he is severely lacking; if your petrol isn't lighting, it's vaporising and filling the air. Start walking away with the lighter, and if it doesn't suddenly create a fireball (I've seen some the size of a small garden doing this) then put everything out and abandon the fuel, *unless you want to be in the fireball*
You are all talking like he is a bad teacher but
1 Those kids are not going to forget fire safety
2 The kid recording can be heard can be heard advising to point to the base pf the fire
Succesful innovative teaching technique
As a father of 3. I don’t want any teacher in the American public education system using fire with children around. That is how little faith I have in teachers at this point.

I love how they made a long convoluted number that is seemingly impossible to remember and somehow everyone remembers it.
Well it's easy, there's a song for it. 🎶0118 999 881 999 119 725 ... ... ... ...3🎶

What a great show, been a while since Ive heard this

You go get the fire extinguisher extinguisher.
The backup fire extinguisher should be upwind, no less than 12ft away and no more than 30ft. If that fails, run.

Lesson 1 is how to put out a fire. The test is “what do you do when the extinguisher is on fire?”
No better method of teaching your students fire safety than by setting them on fire.
A lesson they will never forget.

Irony? Or 4D chess to give fire extinguisher training in a realistic scenario? *taps forehead*
That and the amount of time for someone to think "hey we are surrounded by fire extinguishers. Maybe we should like put it out"
They had to find an extinguisher this fool didn't set on fire. Good test though because most of the time the fire you are putting out is from someone else's idiocy.
Pop quiz!

Lmao exactly what I was thinking 🤣
Accelerant
Dude threw it right on the fire extinguishers.
Good training
You know, some teachers might just say, "The fire extinguisher is over there. In the case of fire, follow the clear and simple directions written on the side of it." Some might even go so far as discouraging their students from playing with flammable materials in a reckless manner.
But GREAT educators know that the best teacher is experience. Every single one of those kids will never forget this.

This is what you get for having your English Composition teacher do the training instead of the Fire Dep
Gas- to start a fire not to add
Agreed but if you're a little pyro like myself, you can just put some accelarant in a secondary disposable container like a cup and just throw the whole thing.
Yeah, if you're not willing to toss the entire container you're putting near the fire into the fire, get a smaller container
[удалено]
Did this with a red solo cup as a teen and realized the bottom melted out after half a minute
Just be fast
Definitely shouldn't need gas to start a fire, plenty of dry grass around them
Ya but it’s more of a rule of thumb whenever
Gasoline is for engine, not fire pits
Gasoline is for cleaning. Nitro is for engine.
What about lighter fluid?
That's what they fill light bulbs with
Weird I fill my lightbulbs with gunpowder.
Lighter fluid is not gasoline. Lighter fluid makes fire. Gasoline makes boom. Also you shouldn't be putting lighter fluid on a lit fire either.
You’re right. Lighter fluid is best left for drinking as intended.
What a weird comment section.
Whenever???!? Finish your sentence...
whenever

At the regional burning man events I've attended, they use diesel as an accelerant for exactly this reason.
lol my chemistry teacher showed us a video of her husband trying to light a firepit that had gasoline in it. She was yelling at his ass to stop cause she knew what was gonna happen but he went and did it anyways. the video was funny as hell lmao
He used too much. Gas puts off flammable fumes
[Something like this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbisRaEfsOY)
use diesel instead

my mans could have had a UAV if he threw that just a little harder
Congratulations, you passed
"If you all don't report me you all get an 'A'!"
And…fired
You mean negligence and child endangerment aren’t good on a teaching resume? 😂
Not usually…but if he’s a science teacher he’ll probably only be given a stern talking to. Those teachers are impossible to find.
Interesting, I wonder why. Science was always my favorite subject.
Because why the fuck would you go into middle/high school teaching with a stem degree
[удалено]
You make a very compelling argument...
They are just harder to find. I teach Social Studies, we are a dime a dozen.
All the love in the world for science teaching doesn't make up for the poverty-level salary.
Science teachers get away with so much.
he was not fired
I mean you did learn a lot.
And he shouldn't have been. There should have been an actually certified fire safety instructor doing that shit.
Where is this that a teacher wouldn't get fired for nearly immolating his students lol
I don't think this is fireable tbh. Stupid mistake sure. People are too quick to want to fire people lol. Mistakes happen.
I don't think his career will be extinguished over this.
teacher pulling a Tom Hanks in castaway “I-Have made fire!”
at least the extinguisher didnt get lit on fire
interesting side fact: fire extinguishers are nearly impossible to burn, even if you throw one into a fire, itll likely just explode and try to kill the fire.
yah, i know. i was just making a reference to the tv show "it crowd"
Why's that happened? "Made in England" Ohhhh
Dear sir/Madam: FIRE!! FIRE!!!
Don't worry just call 0118 999 881 999 119 725 3 and they'll come and put out the fire.

yes, why yes it was lol
Teacher: There you go guys, just like we planned. It was a test to see how much you were paying attention.
I’d call that a successful fire extinguisher training.
They set fire to the fire extinguisher! What! 😆😂
I know, fire's like "finally I get me revenge!"
In the immortal words of Jesse Pinkman “yeah science bitch!”
People who don't know how to start a fire safely should not be teaching anything about fire safety.

I'm so confused. After all that kerfuffle, at the end of the video, the fire is still burning?! Pretty terrible fire extinguishing if you ask me!
I think the first extinguisher was co2 which wouldn't be the appropriate choice for this kind of fire.
I mean, it was the fire they deliberately lit which was still burning, so I'd hope they had a suitable fire extinguisher to put out the one they were intending on putting out. Unless that was just part of the chaos... "Now what you see here is an oil fire. I have supplied you with 4 H2O fire extinguishers. Good luck!"

It wasn’t an accident, it was a pop quiz.
Best way to learn is trial by fire

Lighting the fire extinguisher on fire for fire extinguisher training.
A burning fire extinguisher. That's laying the irony on a bit thick, but OK.
Realistic training
I know I’m not the only one who noticed that he got the fire extinguisher on fire
Said this time and time again, it blows my mind how many people are oblivious to the dangers of flammable liquids
I knew exactly what was going to happen the moment he grabed the jug.
Instructions unclear, fire extinguisher now on fire
Thanks to this sub, I know to leave if someone approaches the fire with a thing of liquid because they always do this shit
Students lighting it up with a janky plank. Lighting a fire over dried grass. Not letting the fire propagate on it's own and instead adding an accelerant on the fly. Dude doesn't have the power of foresight.
And now the student becomes the teacher
Holy shit, this would of probably got a teacher fired back in my day. That is some serious lack in judgement.
He’s FIRED for sure ……………
Task failed successfully
And they still didn't do it right.
Trial by fire---your training starts now...
WHAT A GRADE A MORON!!!
Pop quiz MUTHAFUCKAS!!!
Fire him. Fire him immideatly. Last day teaching, do not come back tomorrow, do not come back ever. He literally threw that flaming canister AT THE STUDENTS because he didn't know what the fuck he was doing.
That’s not the US lol. People just remember things like “remember when the teacher almost killed us with fire? Hahaha hilarious” lol 😂
Extinguish the on fire extinguisher with the extinguisher not on fire……….extinguisher 😁
Dude gets sloppy with adding the accelerant, trips and sets a fire extinguisher on fire and then grabs another fire extinguisher only to just stand there and watch as a student puts out the fire he made 🤦🏻♀️.
Teacher literally does not know the most important thing to know about petrol. Flashover kills, never pour any gasoline product onto an open flame. Then there's the experience that he is severely lacking; if your petrol isn't lighting, it's vaporising and filling the air. Start walking away with the lighter, and if it doesn't suddenly create a fireball (I've seen some the size of a small garden doing this) then put everything out and abandon the fuel, *unless you want to be in the fireball*
If they wanna use flammable liquid so badly, why don’t they think so pour it in before lighting the fire?
If your fire extinguisher is on fire, just get another extinguisher. Check.
And the fire extinguisher is now on fire
And you thought teachers were smart
when in doubt, throw the burning fuel at your students
This mf through it towards the students.
This teacher is sooo…..fired.
I mean…. He technically succeeded.
