Synopsis

Every day, throughout the world, men and women risk their lives to save those of others, and to prevent damage to property and possessions by fire. Our homes are now filled with plastics, electronics and an array of other complex materials, many of which didn't exist or were not in use a generation ago, and this has huge implications for the environment that today's firefighters confront when responding to a call.

Part of a series designed to explore issues facing firefighters today, Fire Dynamics for Firefighters looks at the dynamics of fire - how it starts, how it spreads, factors that can accelerate or inhibit its growth, how potentially life-threatening situations can develop, and most importantly how fires can be contained.
