Fire And Smoke

Top Articles

Smoke detector - A smoke detector (sometimes called a "smoke alarm") is a safety device that detects airborne smoke and issues an audible alarm, thereby alerting nearby people to the danger of fire. Most smoke detectors work either by optical detection or by ionization, but some of them use both detection methods to increase sensitivity to smoke.

Our Lady of the Angels School Fire - 1958 Our Lady of the Angels School Fire broke out shortly before classes were to be dismissed on December 1, 1958, at the foot of a stairway in the Our Lady of the Angels School in Chicago. 92 pupils and 3 nuns at this Roman Catholic grade school lost their lives when smoke, heat, and fire cut off their normal means of escape through open stairways and corridors.

Smoke signal - A smoke signal is a form of visual communication used over a long distance, developed both in the Americas and in China. By covering an open fire with a blanket and quickly removing it, a puff of smoke can be generated.

Liquid Smoke - Liquid Smoke is a relatively natural food ingredient used to add a smokey flavor, similar to what is obtained when cooking over an open wood fire (see barbecue). The product is produced by burning hardwood chips (notably hickory) and condensing the smoke into a liquid form.
