Blacwater fire Changes Methods of Firefighting in 1937

The fire of the black water of 1937 was a forest fire that occurred when thunder hits the tree of the Shoshone national forest. It lasted 6 days, 15 people died and 38 people were injured; David P. Godwin (a fire inspector) said, "Since 1910, so many people lost their lives from the country's forest fire" Said. During this period, the fire consumed a total of 1,700 acres of woodland. As a result, the terrible outcome of Kurosaki Fire is trying to make the firefighter more safe, bringing out firefighting methods that are currently being reviewed and updated.

French firefighters used different methods in the 1970's: spray water on hot walls to generate water vapor and smother fire. This method is proved to be dangerous and it is no longer used and the resulting pressure pushes hot gases and vapors to the firefighter and suffers severe burns and adds heat to other rooms . In some cases, it may not be desirable to use water. This is because some chemical products react with water to produce toxic gases or even burn on contact with water (sodium etc.). Another problem is that some hydrocarbons (gasoline, petroleum, alcohols, etc.) float on water, after which the combustion layer may spread over the fire.

When a firefighter finds a fire known as a "fire place", they sometimes water the fire called "black of fire". This term is used because surprising things happen when firemen fire with water. Water has the capacity to expand its volume 1,700 times and essentially turns water from the hose into steam. And it turns off the fire and cools the burning surface. As the steam expands, it will descend to the ground and sometimes steam will cause burns with fire. On the outside, this is the reason why smoke changes from black smoke to light gray or white smoke, which is the generation of steam. For the application of water please see the figure below.
