Re: Exploding aerosol cans spreading fires

I now have a 23-minute DVD showing a test fire set by ATF in New Orleans in 1994, in which the explosion of two cans of PAM cooking spray set two satellite fires. The fire was set to simulate an accident wherein the occupants left a cardboard box on a stove that they thought was off.
At about 3 minutes 40 seconds into the fire, there is an explosion followed by a big flash fire. A second explosion occurs about 10 seconds later. Immediately afterward, there are two additional fires burning in the kitchen.
Anyone who would like a copy of the DVD should contact me off-list (scientific.fire@yahoo.com), and provide me with your snail mail address.
