Fire in a police range. Skip to 1 minute.

Fire caused by residual dust and powder under a WOOD floor. Back in the bronze age, a range I frequented in California had carpet on the range floor. Saw that catch fire on more then one occasion.

Happened here a few years ago, place went up like a box of matches. I seriously don't know how an indoor range could get away with carpet in it. Oh, well it turned out well for all involved. No one was hurt when it went up and the place got rebuilt and is actually a half decent place now.

Terrible!

Is it me or was the muzzle flash excessive? It was as if they were firing incendiary ammo.

I've seen a range fire before, but nothing as explosive as that. That flashed with intensity. I hope the officers were wearing FR clothes, and are OK.

I haven’t been able to find any info that tells us what. Definitely high flash, low recoil. I surmise either LL or blanks. With the women in the back taking photos I wonders if they were doing some half assed photo op for something.

Our indoor range has a concrete floor. Every once in a while it will flash fire over, particularly in the seams where unburnt powder and paper from targets accumulates. It usually burns itself out pretty quickly, and they don’t try to extinguish it, as the chemicals mess up the air filtration system.

They look like they could be flare rounds. I have experience with those, having watched a coach chase a recruit down the hallway firing those at him during my academy days.

When I first saw that video the following comment was below the video.

I saw that too, from people who should know better. I am 99% sure those were not dragons breath rounds.

That video really brought out the Derp: my favorite was “cops who need to practice with shotguns shouldn’t have guns.”

I found another angle fired. Doesn't look like dragon's breath, but looks like more flash than I'm used to seeing from LTL rounds (fire starts at 1:25)

My thoughts:
1) Poor range maintenance.
2) Poor range material (wood floor, non-FR foam on walls)
3) It's Brazil Federal/Military Police, so I'm guessing that OSHA/NIOSH isn't really a thing there.

Amazing how that fire flares up once the door opens and it can breath.
