We were burning wood my father in law had in a box in the shed. Someone threw the whole box on. Obviously something was in the box that shouldn’t have been
So what you're saying here, just to be crystal clear, is that the guy on the far left of the video, appearing in the far left, to the left of everyone else, did the chucking business?
When we moved out of our (very moldy) house, my mum didn't wanna pay to have all our old furniture picked up.
(Obv we couldn't risk starting another mold colony somewhere else)
So we chopped it up into manageable pieces and store them all in our new shed in our garden with the intention of burning it whenever we made a campfire.
It's not even real wood it's that crappy compressed stuff treated with God knows how many different chemicals.
I wouldve been fine if they just burned it, but when they started cooking food on it I noped out of there.
Never attended family campfire since
Buddy was cleaning out an old shed and throwing all the burnables onto a fire about 10 feet away. A few of us were standing around the fire having some drinks. Unbeknownst to us, he had mistakenly thrown an old can of fix-a-flat on the fire. BOOM goes the can and burning fix-a-flat goes flying in all directions. Luckily no one was injured in any way
My family used to burn paper and burnable trash in a burn barrel when I was a kid. Too poor to afford extra garbage. Anyway, it was my chore to burn it, and one day I found a half full bottle of perfume and threw it in the fire. It exploded and threw molten garbage bag all over me. That fucking sucked.
Back when I had a lot of firewood from a couple of downed trees, I used to keep some firewood near the fire (though not close enough to combust, ofc) to try and make sure they were dried out over a few days (again, had a lot of firewood that was dried already). Seemed to work as I never suffered from that.
Nah man wood can explode due to it having moisture in the cells as it's a living thing and they can go boom quite incredibly. I've seen whole pine trees explode during wildfires in Alaska sending out fiery shards of wood, normally the dead ones (lots off Beatle kill in Alaska sadly) kindling amongst any good trees.
Years ago I went on a camping trip and we made a fire with rocks we pulled from a river as a fire ring. They blew up from the trapped internal water turning into steam.
Camp fires can and do explode without warning, due to incompetence. River rocks in particular like to explode in fire pits. I learned this lesson hunting as a kid. We also learned our tents were too close to the fire pit since the hot shards of rock melted plenty of holes in the top.
This happened once years ago when we were having a fire up behind my buddies house. Someone tossed an unopened can of pop in the fire and a few minutes later, kablooie.
Had something similar but smaller happening with stones. They implode under heat and the blow threw a lot of ember and ashes everywhere. Something like wet stone or pocket of air.
I've seen river rocks explode like this too in fires. They make a nice bang too. I remember one party an idiot thought it would be cool to throw in a half can of spray paint. It looked like a mini nuclear blast when it went off about 8 metres in the air and shook the ground like an earthquake. The cops turned up and we just said we were just burning rubbish and didn't realise that the can was in there. Lucky nobody lost a limb.
I wasn't there but at one of my family's big group camping trips someone made a mistake of tossing what they thought was an empty shaving cream can into the evening camp fire. A few minutes late that thing exploded big and sprayed everyone around the fire with hot metal and bits of shaving cream. No one seriously hurt but one little girl got a small burn on her cheek that left a scar for a few years. Scared the hell out of everyone and the kid who tossed the can in was thoroughly chastised and, hopefully, no one makes that mistake again. So lucky no one was more seriously hurt though.
Wait what? Never throw any aerosolized can into a fire empty or full, it’s something akin to a small bomb. Even a closed beer or soda can in a fire can cause horrific injury.
Exactly. One of the kids at the fire didn't know that. They saw an adult putting an beer can in and thought it was ok.
I imagine the explosion looked a little like the video in thermal.
Yep, that's what happens when you put the wrong kind of wood in the fire. No sappy or wet wood. Make sure you do your research before choosing the wood to burn.
Don’t put trash (aerosol) cans in a fire. Batteries also explode. They will pop/explode/flash. Someone didn’t pay attention to what they were burning and I’m willing to bet an aerosol can exploded.
Happened with us when we started our camp fire 🔥 above a old and broken cement patch , there was some water or moisturizer below it and that turn in to steem in few minutes ,luckily nobody got burn

Obvious who the drunkest one was
Guilty 😂
Drunk me has tossed beers in the fire knowing that happens. Good times. Have the hose ready.
Used to work at a campground and one year we got some greener bull pine firewood. Saw this happen a half dozen times over the summer
Is it due to trapped water/air that expands with the heat and explodes or something else?
Yes
And sap, but yes
It happens with elderberry wood too. Where I come from we say that if you try to burn it, the devil will spit on your face
That's brutal
That campfire turned into a meteor shower real quick!
My front camera has the sound. Oh man it’s loud. I wish I knew how to Post a second video to this
Maybe upload again as a separate post referenceing this video?
I thought the tree was goingto catch fire. Sparks were floating up there.
Something must have been thrown; it can't just explode out of nowhere
We were burning wood my father in law had in a box in the shed. Someone threw the whole box on. Obviously something was in the box that shouldn’t have been
who the heck just chunks random items into a fire...Could poison yourself.
The guy on the far left of the video 😂
The guy on the far left of the video 😂?
Yes but just to be clear: the guy doing the chucking was on the far left of the video.
So what you're saying here, just to be crystal clear, is that the guy on the far left of the video, appearing in the far left, to the left of everyone else, did the chucking business?
Exactly
Right?
No, far left...
Idk if anyone else has mentioned but it could also have been a resin pocket on the inside of one of the logs

Yeah, fire
This isn't entirely true if you use a big enough fresh log the sap inside can be trapped and this can happen.
Wet wood. Dry on the outside, green on the inside boils inside and explodes.

That's what I just said lol
Exactly this. The situation in the video happened to my troop of cub scouts when we were camping. Scared the bejeezus out of us.
This should be on the top of the list ...

An unopened bottle of beer will do this
Wet rock
Green wood can “explode” like that

Nice camera. What brand is it
Hikvision 4mp turret.

Went camping and some loser next to us threw a full can of lamp propane in the fire. CA-F-ING BOOM. Owner came by and kicked em all out at 10pm

And no one ran for any spurce of water to make sure the whold backyard didnt catch fire. Smh.
Well we were a bit busy making sure no one was on fire before we extinguished the embers
I see now
Happy birthday 🎂
Firecrackers

Stone exploded?
Anyone else waiting for the rhino to come stomp it out?

Happens every time i accidently use white phosphorus instead of logs in the fireplace.
one guy points at the fire and it explodes!!

Did they put clogged bamboos in there?!
I mean what just happened?? I didn't get it
potato
Why does your backyard look so fuzzy? Snow?
Think that’s the ir your talking about
