Project Showcase

Our project explores:

• The various stages of fire
• The reading of smoke
• Flow Path as it relates to tactical ventilation and incidental ventilation

• Fire behavior as it relates to reading smoke and having the ability to predict fire spread in a structure.
• The benefits of vertical ventilation vs. horizontal ventilation.
• Clearer understanding of the process of pyrolysis and the production of flammable gases in a structure that can lead to a potential flash-over situation.

All three of us have an interest in the fire profession and possess the ability to perform safely on a fire scene. Understanding fire behavior and having the ability to read smoke and predict fire conditions within a structure can ensure that all firefighters go home at the end of their shift to their families.

To have more preparation time before the showcase was done. It would have been good to have had a practice session before the live event.

The opportunity to work together with other fellow students to make this presentation a success.
