🔥 In this informative video, we explore the three fundamental elements that fire needs to ignite: heat, oxygen, and fuel. Animated graphics illustrate the process of ignition and how fires intensify with additional heat, vapor, and hot gases. Discover how fires spread within buildings and from one building to another, highlighting the importance of fire prevention measures.

🔥 During wartime, incendiary bombs can pose a significant threat, causing rapid fire spread. Learn about different incendiary agents and their effects, including thermite with magnesium wall and phosphorus-filled bombs (please note that white phosphorus is extremely dangerous and banned by international conventions).

🔥 Witness the risks introduced by nuclear bombs, with heat flashes igniting fires over a wide area and gutting buildings filled with inflammable materials. We also reflect on the devastation caused by uncontrolled fires during World War II, emphasizing the need for proper fire prevention and firefighting training.

🔥 Fire prevention is crucial to minimize risks. Discover practical tips such as clearing combustible materials, accessing roof-space, using fire-retarding materials, and ensuring fire-fighting appliances and safety devices are readily available.

🔥 In case of being trapped by fire, it's essential to follow personal protection and escape principles. Use a wet cloth or handkerchief to reduce smoke inhalation, crawl on hands and knees to escape smoke, and consider escape through windows onto roofs if safe. Always have a rope available for descending from higher floors.

🔥 Firefighting equipment plays a vital role in emergencies. Get insights into using and caring for firefighting tools like water buckets, sand or earth buckets, and stirrup hand pumps. Proper training on using stirrup pumps effectively is a must for firefighting teams.

🔥 Follow these firefighting do's and don'ts: close doors and windows to minimize oxygen supply, attack the heart of the fire, and avoid entering smoke-filled buildings alone (except to save life). Never play water on electric wiring to avoid hazardous situations.
