stove hood vents
we had a serious fire and it likely started in the vent hose leading away from the vent hood above the stove. The hose was made of plastic. Is this code? Is it illegal? Has anyone heard of plastic being used? I would think the exposing temperatures would prohibit its use, especially during a stove fire. Am looking for any info or similar experience with plastic vent hose in stove hoods. If anyone has a video or burn test results of burn tests or actual fires, that would be great
thanks

From Miramar Florida. Thank you very much for you rapid response Chief. Excellent book. look forward to attending one of your seminars in the near future. Once again....thank you!
Wanted to know if there is any way we can look up the changes from the 1st edition to the 2nd edition of the Fireground Strategies book?
Thanks,
Lt. Marti
Hope you enjoyed your vacation. I really enjoyed your seminar at the Expo recently. Thanks again! Walter
Wake Forest is a community just outside of Raleigh NC. Wake Forest University did start out here but moved to Winston Salem back in the 50's. We still to this day get people asking about WF University here in town. The college campus now is home to Southeastern Baptist Seminary.
Thanks for the add, and look forward to the info you provide.
