Today UL released two new flashover related videos: a short PSA and a full-length side-by-side home furnishing comparison experiment video. The PSA drives awareness of how little time there is to escape a dwelling fire and urges people to plan ahead by having working smoke alarms, knowing their escape plan, and to #CloseBeforeYouDoze.
The other is a brand new side-by-side burn comparison of natural vs. synthetic furnished rooms highlighting how fast fire spreads in today’s fire environment.
