What We Do

How It Works

Starnes’s science involves predicting how a fire will react and spread. Not only that, but he can also predict the trajectory of the smoke, as well as other key factors. He then comes up with techniques for the firefighters to employ to stay safe. This way they can identify potentially hazardous situations! Now that you’re a little more familiar with what we do at Kill the Flash Over, what stands out to you in particular? Are you fascinated by the science behind the fire? Are you a firefighter looking to find useful techniques in avoiding being burned or suffocated? Great! Then you’re a perfect fit for what we do at Kill the Flash Over!
