A backdraft is a sudden and explosive ignition of gases that happens when a fire has been burning in a confined space and runs out of oxygen, then fresh air suddenly enters the area. Here’s how it happens step by step: ➡️Fire burns in an enclosed space (like a room or building). ➡️The oxygen inside gets used up, so the flames die down — but hot gases and smoke full of unburned fuel remain. ➡️When a door, window, or other opening is made, fresh air rushes in. ➡️The oxygen mixes with the hot gases

Garden state size up on Instagram: "A backdraft is an explosion that occurs when fresh air mixes with a fire that has consumed all the available oxygen. It’s a catastrophic event that can be dangerous for anyone nearby, including firefighters. Backdrafts can happen when a fire breaks out in a building or a sudden change in ventilation occurs, like a firefighter opening a door. Signs of an imminent backdraft include: Pulsing smoke: Smoke plumes that pulse from openings Auto-ignition: Hot gases ig

Insidee Out on Instagram: "What you are seeing here is a technique used by firefighters to protect themselves from a backdraft. A backdraft occurs when a fire that has been burning in a closed space suddenly receives a fresh supply of oxygen. As a fire burns, it gradually consumes the available oxygen, which causes the flames to weaken and appear less dangerous. However, the fuel inside the room is still extremely hot. If a window breaks, a door opens, or a wall collapses, oxygen rushes in. This
