Today’s #TacticalTuesday featuring UL FSRI Director, Steve Kerber, focuses on how fire development changes when a fire becomes ventilation limited. One of the first things every firefighter learns about fire is the fire triangle. Fire needs fuel, heat and oxygen to survive. Fire growth is definitely related to the amount of fuel and heat that is available, but it is the amount of oxygen that is making the difference in how fast the fire is allowed to release heat.

The numbers surprise a lot of people. In a ventilation-limited fire, the heat release rate is capped, which often means less water is required to achieve knockdown. Once ventilation is introduced, conditions can change rapidly. In this clip, Boston Fire Department tests a small-diameter attic spike nozzle on a simulated ventilation-limited attic fire: ⏱️ ~20 seconds of water 💧 ≈6 gallons total 🌡️ Significant temperature reduction 🏠 Minimal added weight and compartment damage 💬 What scenarios

People ask often why firefighters cut holes in roofs at fires . Vertical ventilation is the removal of super-heated air, gases, smoke and pressure inside a closed or vent limited structure by cutting a hole in the roof…easier definition it helps with the a** kicking aggressive interior fire companies are subject to.. | KCFD Station 23 "The Avenue"

Do we vertically vent to lift conditions, or to stop fire spread? 💨🔥 Vertical ventilation is traditionally thought of as used to life smoke/heat conditions on the interior of the structure. It does this, in all building types, very effectively. Even UL admits that "Vertical ventilation is the most efficient type of natural ventilation". Regarding fire travel in a attic/cockloft - we have traditionally only thought of a "trench cut". These are still effective when applicable, but remain rather
