I"ve been in the fire service for 26+ years and never knew about this, and I had 2 years of vocational school and Army mechanic school. I"ve known about pyrolosis in general, but always thought it was a slow process. I don"t usually mess with tires except putting them on a taking them off a vehicle. Usually in vehicle fires, we just assumed tires blew from the outside heat source, we didn"t know that there could be internal problems. I did know that the big tires on earth moving equipment can blow (actually detonate) a long time after the equipment was involved in a fire. Obviously there has to be a reason that the tire in the video went up so fast, would it have to do with the age of the tire? Would a tire be more prone to pyrolosis if it has deteriorated on the inside? Thanks for the post, it"s really an eye opener!
