Sparks flying and bottles bursting! 💥🔥

Some lessons are better seen than explained!

Check out a couple of demonstrations from Class #130’s Fire Behavior training, where water meets reactive metal and a chemical reaction creates enough pressure to burst a sealed bottle.

These are the kinds of moments that make classroom lessons unforgettable! 🚒

Class #130 has been diving into Fire Behavior! 🔥🚒

From flammable metals and flow paths to reading smoke and understanding chemical reactions, our recruits are learning how fire behaves and why recognizing these conditions is so important on the fireground.

A special thank you to JP Steelman. We’re grateful for his continued dedication to preparing future firefighters!
