Fire brigade saves at apartment fire: burned food causes an alarm!
On Thursday afternoon, the fire brigade was alarming in Petronia-Steiner-Straße. A meal forgotten on the stove had caused smoke development, which led to an assignment due to a suspected apartment fire. The fire brigade was alerted because it was initially unclear whether people were on the second floor in the affected apartment.
In the stairwell, smell of smoking was already heard, and a smoke alarm in the apartment had triggered. This presented the emergency services with a critical situation when they explored the location from the stairwell and balcony. The apartment was heavily smoky, and the brownish coloring of the smoke was an indication of flammable pyrolysis gas that had arisen from the food, probably from chicken.
Danger of a flashful
The fire brigade was concerned about the possibility of a flashful, a sudden transition from the burn to a full fire, which can be caused by the ignition of all flammable surfaces in the room. Such an incident can have catastrophic consequences, including flame strokes from windows. To avoid major damage, the fire brigade opened the front door and ventilated the apartment.
Fortunately, there were no injuries. The resident was not at home at the time of the incident. This event once again draws attention to the dangers that can emerge from kitchen fires. A meal that is messed up on the stove can quickly lead to acute danger if it is not noticed in time.background to pyrolysis straps
pyrolysis gases, which played a crucial role in this case, arise from the heat effect or combustion of materials. These gases arise when fabrics such as wood and plastics separate flammable gases under heat. If such gases are accumulated in the room, there is a risk of flue gas ignition. This describes the sudden lighting and burning of the pyrolysis gases, whereby there is sufficient oxygen, in contrast to a flue gas explosion that requires additional oxygen.
The temperatures at such an event can reach over 1000 ° C, which is a considerable danger for unprotected persons and also for fire brigade members. Therefore, the fire brigade is of central importance in the event of a fire.
Overall, this incident illustrates the importance of fire alarm systems and vigilance in residential buildings in order to recognize and cope with such dangerous situations at an early stage
