What is that Adage about Fires Doubling in Size? Watch this Unchecked Apartment Fire Grow in Russia…

Fires double in size every minute…

Fires double in size every 5 minutes…

Fires double in size every 30 seconds…

I truly don’t think you can put a finger on anything exact since there are too many variables involved like fire load, area, types of materials available to burn, etc.

What I do know is that an unchecked fire will typically continue to grow in size.

I also know that if we put enough water on the fire, the fire will go out.

The video below shows an unchecked fire growing in size at an apartment complex in Russia. The fire appears to have started on the 4th floor and then spreads to up to the 5th floor and eventually down to the 3rd floor.

The video also mentions something about an explosion. I am guessing that was before the fire.
