Air Track
This is the movement of air and smoke as observed from the exterior and interior of the structure. Air track is used to describe a group of fire behavior indicators that includes direction of smoke movement at openings (e.g., outward, inward, pulsing), velocity and turbulence, and movement of the lower boundary of the upper layer (e.g., up, down, pulsing).
Flow Path
In a compartment fire, flow path is the course of movement of hot gases between the fire and exhaust openings and the movement of air toward the fire. Flow path can significantly influence fire spread and the hazard presented to occupants and firefighters.
The internet features many videos showing firefighters standing at the front door trying to charge the line and mask up while, in a matter of one to two minutes, the whole place lights up and they are forced to retreat or use ineffective tactics. Why?
