MODERN FIRES
• burn hotter and faster due to synthetic materials
• completely new way of fighting fires
• old way: used to cut in a hole to ventilate out the smoke and give the people inside a fighting chance
• new way: get water on the fire as soon as possible but do not ventilate because that lowers the oxygen content of the room to unbreathable levels and makes the fires hotter
• todays firefighters need to fight fires faster and update their strategy
