St. Louis warehouse fire flashover <https://tinyurl.com/warehouse-flashover> ?
With all due respect to the characterization of this event and the breaking it down in terms of physics, the chance of this being a flashover: is possible, but I don't think it likely in this scenario. Flashover is powerful, but overpressurize a brick wall, powerful? Possible with the larger surface areas, but highly improbable from flashover. Non-buoyant brown smoke is not a traditional indicator of flashover; more an indication of dust entrained from an expansion that occurred inside. No flames out any vents that I coud detect, traditional sign of a flashover. No bottom-of-the-vent air inflow (regardless of how low the neutral plane may go for a warehouse flashover) present in the 'post-flashover'. It seems much less to be a flashover and several time more likely to be a couple of small deflagrations Great coverage of the fire, thanks for sharing !
