Fire Variables

We saw that fire is the result of a chemical reaction between two gases, typically oxygen and a fuel gas. The fuel gas is created by heat. In other words, with heat providing the necessary energy, atoms in one gaseous compound break their bonds with each other and recombine with available oxygen atoms in the air to form new compounds plus lots more heat.

The most flammable compounds contain carbon and hydrogen, which recombine with oxygen relatively easily to form carbon dioxide, water and other gases.

Different flammable fuels catch fire at different temperatures. It takes a certain amount of heat energy to change any particular material into a gas.

The fuel’s size also affects how easily it will catch fire. A larger fuel, such as a thick tree, can absorb a lot of heat, so it takes a lot more energy to raise any particular piece to the ignition temperature. A toothpick catches fire more easily because it heats up very quickly.

A fuel’s heat production depends on how much energy the gases release in the combustion reaction and how quickly the fuel burns. Both factors largely depend on the fuel’s composition. Some compounds react with oxygen in such a way that there is a lot of “extra heat energy” left over. Others emit a smaller amount of energy. Similarly, the fuel’s reaction with oxygen may happen very quickly, or it may happen more slowly.

The fuel’s shape also affects burning speed. Thin pieces of fuel burn more quickly than larger ones. For example, you could burn up a pile of wood splinters or paper much more quickly than you could a block of wood with the same mass, because splinters and paper have a much greater surface area.

A fire from a fast-burning fuel that produces a lot of heat will inflict a different sort of damage than a slow-burning, low-heat fire.

It is easy to be wise after the event

As the department's training officer I served as the safety officer on all major incidents. One afternoon while working in my office at our suppression headquarters station, I heard Engine 4 dispatched to a vegetation fire. Engine 4 arrived on the scene to report approximately one acre involved, with the fire rapidly spreading. They requested two additional engines. The paramedics I was working with decided to drive down the street to observe, as we were on the opposite side of the involved area, I decided to ride with them. I did not plan on this being a major incident and did not take any protective clothing with me.

As we approached the area across from the fire, we noticed that the fire had spread across the ravine and was now threatening homes and utility services. An engine company had laid lines, and one firefighter was attempting to put a 2-inch line into service to protect the exposures. The incident commander was calling for two strike teams. The paramedics were given an assignment to help extend lines to the right flank. I jumped in to assist with the exposure line. My protective equipment consisted of slacks, a shirt, a tie, and shoes. Within minutes we were exposed to heat and smoke thick enough to cause difficult breathing. Through the smoke an engineer brought me his turnout coat and helmet. He later gave me his turnout boots and stood at the pump panel in stockinged feet.

Not only was I completely ineffective as a safety officer, I was a safety hazard myself! By not having my protective gear, I created a safety hazard for myself and took away safety gear from another firefighter. The few minutes it would have taken for me to grab my gear would have been more than worthwhile. Our protective clothing is as essential to us as a scalpel is to a surgeon. The lesson I learned was never to respond to an incident without my safety gear and never to enter the hazard environment without it.

Fortunately, no one was injured and the fire was extinguished with no loss of structures.
