Dumpster Fires- Why they are dangerous

Описание: Ever wonder why dumpster fires are so dangerous?

It’s almost impossible to know the contents of the dumpster, which is why it is important to slow down and survey the situation. Knowing the occupancy that the dumpster is serving may assist in knowing what the contents might be.

Sometimes left out of regular training is the common fires that are perceived to pose less risk and are seemingly simple to handle. However, the past few years there have been several reported incidents and even deaths while operating at fires in trash receptacles and dumpsters.

No smoke is safe to breathe at a dumpster fire, and often smoke at dumpster fires can be the most toxic of all fires. This will always vary and will depend on the contents of the dumpster.

Dumpsters are usually positioned near exposures, and these fires typically produce a heavy volume of fire and extremely high heat. If the fire extends into a nearby exposure, this incident becomes a working structure fire.
