BLEVE

Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapor Explosion





The other day, we had a BLEVE at my station. Thankfully it was on a much smaller scale.


We had used a lighter to ignite the BBQ. After starting it the lighter was left a little too close to the grill. About 5 minutes later we heard a loud pop as the plastic lighter exploded. There were no injuries.

I'm so glad we have all of you, the professionals, to protect all of us, the innocent.

I go to sleep tonight feeling so secure :)
