This unit will cover some very good concepts. Some you may be familiar with, and some, not so familiar. One of the concepts you should pay close attention to is Pyrolysis. Below, is a graphic about Pyrolysis you will see in the study guide/lesion, as well as specific discussion about it.

Our textbook suggests smoke inhalation is a factor in most fire deaths in the United States, especially those that result from post-flashover fires. The authors continue stating single exposure to fire smoke can have both acute effects (e.g., death, incapacitation, impaired mobility, and reduced clarity of thinking) and post-exposure effects (e.g., lung damage). Firefighters can experience chronic effects from multiple exposures to smoke, as seen recently with the cancer risk heightened due to smoke inhalation. Have you, or someone you know, experienced inhalation of the irritants in smoke? Was it involved in initiating a fast attack because of a trapped civilian or other reason? Have you ever initiated a fast attack with your SCBA mask not completely sealed, believing the positive pressure would keep out smoke and irritants? Why, or why not?

Your journal entry must be at least 200 words. No references or citations are necessary.
