i met you through one of Frank Ricci's functions. He has said that you have strong expertise in flashover. I just started a group on flashover stories. After getting caught in one back in 2001 I have developed a great respect for fire and promised that I would do everything possible to teach our current and future firefighters how to stay safe. Any words of wisdom for this group would be greatly appreciated.
