It's called pyrolysis, the paper isn't on fire. The heat in the room is so intense it forces vapor out of the paper and ignites that. Clever stuff that fire :)

Some precautions that can be taken: If you see a mysterious flickering orange light behind the coat rack, do not ignore it.

How Awesome Is His Voice.

I love this old videos, far better than the modern ones you get, and still completely relevant

If this video doesn't scare a person into taking fire safety seriously then nothing will. Incidentally, another thing that would help in this type of situation would be a fire suppression system such as a sprinkler system. A working sprinkler system would for the most part saved that office.

Vintage production! These days there would be a few lines about a VPN provider and a reminder to smash the like button and don't forget to subscribe! ;)

Those rolls of paper in the corner actually took longer to burn than I expected

That void area above the ceiling is a perfect tunnel for the heat to radiate to other parts of the structure... so a small fire even if brought under control by the fire personal coula have started another fire somewhere else in the building and can go unnoticed for a long time.

I KEEP A CLOSE EYE OUT FOR FIRE

NOTICE!!! When the first firefighter started applying water high up at the flames and smoke, the fire just continued unabated. When water was trained on the burning material, the flames went out Instantly.

Scary how fast it spreads

That didn't spread as fast as I thought it might, and the fire rolled over but the room never really flashed. I wonder if having one side completely open allowed the heat and gasses to escape and limited the thermal input on the rest of the room.

I would have expected the fire to be a lot faster, considering there is usually a big amount of paper in an office.

Wow really relaxing ASMR atmosphere video ☺️ keep up the good work.

@Haim Azulay, It's not the ceiling itself. it's the hot gasses in the smoke that are flammable (Flash over)

i think this would be a better example if you did not have an openning feeding the fire as it travelled over the ceiling and fed the fire , now i could be wrong yet thank you for the information

Мисля пожар се предизвиква от безотговорно несериозно отношение на охраната - пожар. Пожар толкова бързо се разраства, че е трудно да се гаси.... Благодаря, интересно, поучително видео!

Yes, this is the nature of fire.

This office looked quite good considering it was an fire demo

This is why NOT to leave your Samsung Galaxy S4 on charge unattended.

I’ve just been doing fire warden training and they used this video. Very educational, but there’s a niggling thought in my brain. I recognise the narrator, but cannot for the life of me find his name 😱 This is gonna bug me all day!!!

I like the bit with the fire.

Somebody stole Milt's red Swingline stapler …

This is interesting, but surely it can only be so realistic without a 4th wall? Such a fire in a fully enclosed space would have quite a different outcome I suspect - and with heat bouncing and radiating off the missing 4th wall, I think flashover would occur much more quickly than is seen here.

The Smoke is on FIRE!

we need these in 4k for 2021

2:25 *comes back into office to grab car keys* "A fire? Looks like I'll need this." *picks L up off of desk*

Love it! Amazing video! Can't wait to watch what else you guys come out with.

Consider the use of sprinklers as well so if a fire occurs it cant get as big as the video shows.

RIP Mr.plant He was a great plant before he melted

ryan started the fire

What is the temperature of the radiant heat 6' away from the rooms exit door at the floor level where a victim might be? If the room was hit by a Heavy SPRAY of water through a window and instantly soaked all the interior material, what would be the temperature at the floor in the hallway? What would be the radiant heat temperature from the "Steam" created by the large amount of water, at the floor? How long would a flame be "Pushed" through the door by the spray before the flame was extinguished by the large amount of water? The answers will go a long way towards deciding which is better, waiting an eternity for firemen to find the victim while the fire rages and the effect on the victim if the room is hit by a large blast of water before the rescue.

Fires can destroy a home and lives. They can cause massive amounts of destruction and kill people who are caught by either the flames or the smoke. If you survive such a horrible thing, you are likely to go through the stress and pain of rebuilding. It is especially difficult if you lost someone close to you. To avoid all of this, you need something that works. You need to fireproof your home with available coatings that are safe as well as effective. This will give you the chance to lower the risk as fire and contain any that do occur. With how dangerous fires can be, there is no reason not to do this. A fire retardant spray or paint will help to protect your home quite a bit. These will reduce the risk of a spreading fire, allowing you to escape and control the flames. If something does happen, like if there is a sudden fire in a single room, there will be less of a chance of it spreading. You will be more likely to survive the fire as well as stop it before it caused any major destruction. These are effective options and they can give you the chance to save yourself in many ways.

While the room itself could be made with concrete, the furniture cannot. Humans normally do not want to sit on naked concrete all day while working. Furthermore, most offices have lots of paper lying around.

That was the slowest fire progression I have ever seen in my life. You would even not bother calling the fire dept. until you finish up your work.

Poor vintage Apple computer

Looked liked something out of 1984

Super la vidéo qu'elles sont les gestes a faire quand il y a le feu ou pas faire pour éviter mettre en danger

So _that's_ where I put my mix tape.

that fire looks dangerous

"No, no, no, Bob. The credits are boring. You need to incorporate something... Well, fire-related." "How about LIGHTENING?!"

I put the blame on one Dwight Schrute

Poor computer and the boombox 😢😢😢

Where do you get a job doing this??? So what kind of work are you looking for? I want to light things on fire!

i just noticed the firefighter "courage" motovational poster there on the wall

Dramatic, but im not convinced to its realism due to lack of the 4th wall. Would affect the air currents and supply, as they actually mentioned.

im done making my wooden mansion. it could just use a fire place :3.

What if you have a plastic bag and breath into it. That'll protect you from the smoke for a while innit?

GRAB THE COMPUTER!!

It was a nice office

my office room!

Only you can prevent office fires...

fire office

R.I.P mr plant

It's problably becuase of the heat from the smoke. The smokes temperature is very high.

Its scary to watch😣

4:18 what was that sound?

3:15 the books have fainted

Simple, if you listen to what the voice over man actually said, he said at this time they would have gone off, which says they have none. Its a demo anyway.

Efe: Elmir. Küçük araba çizsene. Küçük araba. Efe: Elmir. Küçük araba çizsene.

That's my stapler. I brought that stapler. It's my own stapler....

Whats the name of the guy who is speaking? Isnt that the same guy from big bigger biggest?

WHY don't they build offices with stronger materials, e.gr. Concrete

And that's why fire sprinkler's were invented!

makes a case for sprinklers and early detection

Just a normal day at the office

My friend dog watching this he very interested in fire safely

I have about $20,000 worth of apple products in my office. If my office burned down.......

I think it's an abandoned office.

Good thing nobody was in there.

I think it means the office on fire not your office fire

one of the best videos ever

Anyone 2019

smoke detectors, sprinklers? That's gotta be hot!!! Kinda funny, the warnings are basically don't be stupid.

It just takes 3-4 minutes u never know

I'm gonna try this out and see if its true...

@ChocolateCake207 oh nevermind but that one is old

my mom told me one of three people she works with her name Is d her house burned down just today it scared me

Why do you waste items in fires lots of money goes up in smoke

But how coat can be a source of fire?

I like this vidio

Why would there be a television in an office? *not from the UK*

Oh my

Bye-bye random cardboard boxes. LOL.

You sawer it right hear

Even up to 3:00 it could have been extinguished with a few foam and water extinguishers

What are examples of this occurring?I know one is careless smoking.

why didnt the smoke alrms go off haha??

If it was where i work they'd get pissed if you left your desk before the end of the day.

who would ever want to try this in their office? it would be extremely stupid and dangerous to do so.

He sounds exactly like the guy from Emergency 3...

"Do not TRY this in your office". How very British.

ibm ps2 computer on the desk!

good thing I'm doing firefighting in Public Safety.

THEY SAID THAT IV THE VIDEO

Wow.

@ChocolateCake207 there are no computers in this office

Why do they always put out fire when it looks most beautiful?

Forget the power of fire, how about the power of water?

The smoke detector alarm will sound, alerting security
