NFPA Fire Power (Original) Video

In the award-winning Fire Power video from NFPA®, a staged house fire was filmed in order to show the devastating power of fire. A cigarette is discarded in a waste basket, and in just over 3 minutes, the room is quickly engulfed by flames and smoke. Flashover occurs, leaving the home in total ruin.

In another demonstration, a carelessly discarded cigarette is dropped again into a waste basket. Fire grows rapidly and ignites nearby furniture. This time, a residential fire sprinkler system activates and extinguishes the fire.
