  • House fire in Inner West, Sydney Australia caused by electrical fault in dehumidifier. Security camera captured 12min 5sec of footage in the home before camera tripped off.
    Shows good example for fire training on smoke timing and how smoke descends and how to get down low and go, go, go!
    Short version available on this link: • House fire caught on c... for fire safety training purposes.
    No-one was hurt (including pets), just extensive smoke damage throughout the house.

    Electrical fires ARE scary. My husband, young daughter and I had one New Year's morning 2016, 2 months after we just moved into our new house. It was in the ceiling of our living room. Only clue was that half the house lost power. Luckily, my husband couldn't sleep during New Year's eve and was up all night. He woke me around 7:15 and asked me if I could smell anything. I went room to room and told him I didn't smell anything except for in the living room. It smelled like someone was burning a brush pile or something. He called the fire department and the chief came with a thermal imaging gun. He had other crew members on stand-by. He imaged kitchen then dining room the foyer and then the living room ceilings. Living room glowed HOT on the imaging. I got my 9 year old daughter Emma up, dressed and out of her room, which is off the living room, and took her down the street to one of her sister's house and told my then son in law that I needed to leave her there because my house was on fire. By the time I returned to my house, the fire crew had already busted through the ceiling and had extinguished the fire. But my living room, entertainment center, movie collection, sofa and such were smoke and water damaged. Took 4 months and a LOT of depreciation from the insurance company but we restored it ourselves except for the rewiring of the entire house. Fire Marshall said that it was caused by the fact that newer wiring was connected to older "knob & tube" wiring and it shorted out and smoldered for at least 12 hours before we noticed anything wrong. That was 8 years ago. First fire. LAST fire.

    Important to note a few things:
    1. The smoke line in that hallway was lower than this room. Hence, the importance of getting low (where the fresher air is) and going out.
    2. The cessation of the alarms at 12:00 (the clock time noted on the video). This could be turned off by an alarm company at being told all occupants were out of the building -OR- that there was a power loss and the alarm stopped sounding due to no battery backup.
    3. If you look closely towards the end of the video, you can see a lighter layer of smoke under the black smoke. Visible by the TV and tabletop. Not visible on the floor but that doesn't mean there's no smoke or less visible toxic gases there.

But people wearing seashells, it's amazing what they can survive. But no seat belt, you will likely be ejected and on Atlanta's highways you stand zero chance. My son had to hold a father back who was trying to get to his daughter, but she was ejected at an extremely high speed. Took 2 police officers to help pull him back. WEAR YOUR SEATBELTS!

      @@floralmist6824 The survival rate for ejections is south of 15%. In my experience seat belts are far and away above airbags for protection. Many folks bypass their seatbelts by plugging them in behind the seat. They think airbags make belts unnecessary. Side bags are a good thing and some cars have one under the dash for the legs.... also good but the front airbags I can take em or leave em. Lots of times they cause more injury than they prevent. Also nobody knows a front airbag can fire twice as there may be more than one frontal collision in a wreck. There have been firefighters injured by them because they placed themselves between the steering wheel and the victim.

    I remember once I was studying past midnight in the living room at my dad's apartment. His apartment was at the top of the building. Suddenly I start to see smoke, not black smoke but grey. I rubbed my eyes thinking I might be sleepy but no, I was right, that was smoke but didn't smell like it. I checked all the rooms, nothing was on fire... I wake up my father and sibilings, opened the front door and there's no noise, but the smoke was still there, now sticking to my throat. I told my family to take the stairs. My dad had crutches so me and my younger brother helped him. By half the floors we barely could see the stairs but we managed somehow. When we finally got out the fire dpt was already there taking out the fire that originated on the first floor. An old woman left her clothes OVER the oven to dry them faster. I always think what would have happened if I wasn't awake that time.

I upgraded to a commercial unit to get the same results in a shorter amount of time so I don't have to run it 24/7. There was a recall as recently as August of 2023 affecting millions of units sold under multiple brand names. The reason was overheating and fire hazard.

It’s just something to think about if you do. Maybe there should be something people can buy for the outside of their house that’s connected to the fire alarms inside. So if neighbors can’t hear them going off in your house, they’ll know to at least check around if they are sounding off outside? And always put signs on your windows and doors about the pets inside. Security systems connected to a company and/or cameras seem to be the best way to go when you have any animals that live in your house.

    My house has almost caught on fire twice. First time it was the sump pump in the basement. Called the fire department as I have a very good sense of smell and I knew I smelled burning wires and plastic. They found the cause and we got the old sump pump replaced. Shit was throwing sparks all over the place when they found the cause; which could have easily burnt the house down.
    Second time was a few months ago when I smelled burning metal. My gf didnt smell it until about 20 min after I did. I ran all over the house and everywhere trying to find the source of the smell. Then she screamed, FIRE FIRE!!!!! The couch had just started to ignite and the plug for multiple plugs was under the couch and just started to catch it on fire. I busted out the fire extinguisher and put it out immediately and threw the smoldering plug out onto the sidewalk. She fucking spilled salsa onto the plug without knowing it and it caught on fire.
    Anyways, point being, always be fucking aware and never keep stupid ass plugs in places where one could easily spill shit onto them. I've always been mega afraid of my house catching on fire and often look for things that could easily ignite. But no matter how careful you are, you could still get fucked and that scares the shit out of me.

      If not, I'm surprised because both instances should have tripped the breaker.
      I am an electrician and I've seen this too many times.. they don't make these panels any more and the company has had so many law suits.

    when I was little in the early 1970's, a fire broke out at a friends house, in the parents bedroom. I happened to be walking over there to see him anyway, not knowing what was going on. as I got closer, I smelled and saw a lot of smoke around their house and heard yelling "Call the Fire Dept!" and my friend and mother were just standing outside of their bedroom window watching the fire. in shock. the father had already gone to call the fire dept on the neighbors phone, we just stood there watching in shock and I heard the TV tube explode. it was like BOOOM! but the fire dept was there pretty quick. the bedroom was gutted, and most of the house was badly smoke damaged and unlivable. so they had to live in a small mobile home on their property for about a month or two before the insurance investigation and repairs were finished. I felt so bad for them ☹
    but they did get it repaired tho., and continued to live there up until the 90's

    The smoke alarms in this home is from before 1996 when NFPA required the 3 beep pattern for fire evacuation. So it’s very likely if they were AC powered they didn’t have battery backup. Scary to think about. Change your smoke alarms every 10 years!!

    I wish I could have smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors in my house. Unfortunately my crazy mom took them all down cuz she refused to change the batteries in them. I have found one but I think the rest are gone. Someone had said sometimes fire stations give them out or will help you install them but I don't think my mother will allow that. I am certain this house will burn to the ground, it's not safe at all, many electrical problems. I live in constant fear of fire. My mother has set the kitchen on fire and burns many things, she just leaves things cooking on the stove/oven and walks away to watch tv, can't smell when things are burning. My room is above the kitchen so I can smell when things are cooking/burning, I go downstairs to oblivious mother and smoke filled kitchen often.

      At least have a plan to get if (or more likely when) a fire breaks out that you know immediately where to go. And maybe invest in a fireproof safe box, so if there’s a fire then at least a couple of valuables/important documents will be safe.

    • @sheelfjohnson
      @sheelfjohnson Před 3 měsíci

      Go get some and put them somewhere she might not notice them. Or just tell her to f___ off because you don't want to die in a fire. They do make a special one for kitchens that won't go off just from cooking - maybe that's what you need. It's a photoelectric smoke detector. Stay safe 🙏
      Oh also: they make detectors that have a 10 year internal battery now. No 9V battery to change every year. Maybe that would help?

    7:46 this view is particularly handy. Now I fully understand why they say it is best to get low to the ground in a fire. I know it’s obvious in that heat rises and all of that. But looking at this you can see exactly where all the smoke heads and where it takes a while to go.

    What I don't get is why the smoke alarm in the house Stopped Working/Chirping after just a couple of minutes. Also, I Swear at some point in this during the 1st 4 minutes or so, I was hearing what to me sounded like sirens from an emergency vehicle, that I instantly took to be fire truck sirens rushing to the scene of this house, to save the day, now was I just losing it or did I actually hear that on here, and was that maybe another totally different emergency vehicle going to a completely different situation altogether, seems strange though, I mean what are the chances of two events going on within the same area, at around the same time.

      It depends one whether it’s run on battery only or if it’s hardwired. If it’s hardwired the sensor might’ve gotten confused. The circuit for the alarms is typically in a central location or somewhere that’s easy to access for repairs. That also looks like an older model alarm. So the sensor may not work as well as it could anymore.

    • @xxkillerkane420xx8
      @xxkillerkane420xx8 Před 6 měsíci +2

      A few things can happen to cause them to go off. If they are tied to an alarm company the company can remotely turn them off and/or reset them, then wait to see if they come back on to see if it was an anomaly. They will only turn them on once they confirm no one is at home. Second sometimes the detectors will turn on but if the air system kicks on blowing smoke away from the detector it will shut off until it has enough smoke to reactivate. Third if the detectors are damaged by the fire or lose power with no battery backup they will shut off. But after them being shut off a second time I’m guessing these were tied to an alarm company that had confirmation the home was unoccupied.
