Principal Owner Emergency Response Training Group Blountville, Tennessee, United States
Hold my matches and watch this! A highly interactive demonstration of the physical and chemical properties of flammable liquids and flammable gases! During these sessions, participants will witness flash point, flammable range, vapor pressure, boiling point, and vapor density. Additionally we will be demonstrating the dynamic tendencies of flammable vapors when they encounter oxygen and ignition sources to create the "Boom" that tends to surprise us if we don't fully understand the hazards of our response situation!
Learning Objectives:
Following this presentation, participants will be able to relate the significance of flash point to scene safety and risk as it relates to responses involving flammable liquids.
Participants will witness in real life what chemical properties look like and how their significance will help emergency responders recognize hazards during emergency response.
Participants will witness vapor density as it relates to heavy hydrocarbon vapors and light hydrocarbon vapors. Additionally, responders will understand risks associated when dealing with hydrocarbon vapors and gases.
