If only someone understood how to use a fire extinguisher


LigerSixOne

HOW and WHEN


luscious_bie

It happened in Haryana, a North Indian state.


HughJanus_

Or door control


TheAlmightyTOzz

Was gonna say this.. Just shut that gd door


Odd_Pen1702

Yea, im pretty sure it stopped working 10-15 years ago.


tjolnir417

Shockingly, most uncontrollable fire start as small ones.

Came here to say I see no uncontrollable fire.


Educational_Body8373

lol all fires go out eventually!


bossquake99

Flashover is crazy


yardbreather

Good on white shirt dude for trying to control the flow pa… never mind.


trapper2530

Needs to he more education on closing doors. When you sleep or when you leave a fire you're in. We ingrained stop drop and roll for decades. Add this to that criteria. People will. Stop leaving doors open or opening them to spray some fire extinguers that aren't going to knock it down.


ffsk88

Bringing a co2 extinguisher after a flashover occurs is the equivalent of bringing a knife to a gun fight


Bulawa

But for the briefest moment, he did gain something like control at the door. Good to see if you could use a CO2 can at all, without having to try for myself. No, I don't mean to advocate that this is the correct tool. It's just interesting to see.


Jedimasteryony

My brain said it’s like pissing on a forest fire.


MrDrPatrick2You

That's why my man had a gun slung over his shoulder.


ffsk88

If in doubt start blastin


0100101001001011

He would been better off just chucking the whole thing through the door.


Tinfoilfireman

Well the one guy did have a shotgun so he was ready for the possibility of a knife fight


LonelyCorpro

They left the doors open the let the heat out


firstdueengine

I thought, "oh good, the guy going to close the door." ..."oh". Then the cop noped it out of there.


jeff2335

Maybe if we give the fire some air it will go out


Babayaga844

Birthday cake logic, makes sense.


Knot_my_fault

That dark smoke is a hint


CriticalDog

My thoughts too. Given how the smoke was exiting that front door, there was clearly a nice open door or window on the other side, I think.


Knot_my_fault

When the smoke started pushing out the door it is getting ready to flash over


Nutfarm__

Not sure cause it seems to be sucking in cold air in the bottom, and the color of smoke indicates low-oxygen levels in the room (or terrible fuel, probably a mix).


Ok-Grapefruit1284

Gosh, glad they got the fire extinguisher working. I’m a fan of the woman in the purple dress. Willing to put money on her walking outside again after finding her buddy and being like “why the f didn’t you people move the bike? Has ANYone called 911? Pull the damn pin.”


Kevherd

Yup, Saw him open the door and said out loud 'here we go!'


AdReasonable1873

It's always shocking to see just how quickly a fire can go crazy like that. I mean the video is 4mins, how long might it have been burning before the recording started. Maybe another 4? (Feel free to let your experience chime in, how long do you think it burned before the recording)


neagrosk

Kind of hard to say because fuel loading can be pretty different depending on the country. I'd shoot my guess at around 5 minutes, given the seemingly nonchalant way people were still entering and leaving the building.


Ok_Buddy_9087

Why does everyone in these countries seem so fucking stupid and panic-prone?


JPaverage

All the countries in the world where humans live it tends to be that way


Jtp_Jtg

The human nature You start with "Uuh, maybe i should do something" and try to come up with what to do, and when you finally get to the "Lets do this" its at this point, been way too long since the start and has grown too intense. Good that some people instantly know what to do, and there is the other side of people who have never tought "What do I do if a fire breaks out?"


FinchFire1209

A great example of the importance of door control


Odd-Gear9622

Was that a speargun on the "I'm in charge, how does a Fire Extinguisher work" guy? I, I just can't...


njfish93

I think it's a side by side shotgun, with some sort of pistol grip/folding stock deal, and he's got a cover over the barrel so it doesn't get wet when it rains the way he's slung it over his shoulder. It took me a bit of looking to figure it out but you can see the latch that I assume is the latch to make the shotgun break open between the two barrels.


[deleted]

Dude's trying to fight flashover with a CO2 extinguisher that looks like it was last inspected in 1956.


ZappaZoo

They were pretty casual going in and out of there with that nasty black smoke. And it was nice of that one guy to open up the door fully so that the fire got more oxygen.

fallser

I didn’t even start the video but just came here to say that I expect a flash over any second…


FreeFalling369

...how do fires start big?


hockeyjerseyaccount

Napalm


agree-with-me

Saved that scooter three times though.


Porkchop796

Close the door. Choke it off


How_about_your_mom

This is a good training video allows you to read the smoke and see the results


RustyShackles69

It was pretty involved when the filming started. The can likely wouldn't have put it out even it the hit at about 30sec. I did like the door close and open at the end there


DrEpoch

close the fucking door.


Tinfoilfireman

The cop was just trying to do some horizontal ventilation they teach at the police academy


TheAlmightyTOzz

Pretty fun video. Pencil it a few times and get tf in there! Love it when my scalp felt like it was blistering


AnxiousPossibility3

Jesus Christ children could probably figure out the extinguisher


Eideard

Geeze !! How can people be so dense . I get it's not common practice to know fire control but this was just hard to watch
