Controlled burn in Poland: A good lesson about using accelerants.

8 comments

I know some of you are going to go for the obvious. But just be warned that we aren't doing ethnic jokes in our comments section. This is some sort of controlled burn, apparently in Poland. The Polish-English online translator has the title reading, "Explosion of hat from heads". They are probably lucky it wasn't explosion of head from body. The image below has an arrow pointing to the hat. The description translates, "Small explosion during setting fire to building on rate p.poż".

    I've seen a video of an American dept doing that with a much greater explosion.

      About 18 years ago I was at a training burn for fire investigators where they were using an accelerant. I was doing an interview nearby when suddenly we heard the very same sound the man who lost his hat did (a little louder as a couple of doors slammed shut from the force of the explosion). The eyes of the PIO I was interviewing got quite wide just before he turned around to see what had happened. No one was hurt.

    Laughter is universal. At least they and we can laugh at it and no one got hurt.  Hopefully they learned from it.
