Yucca Middle School and Clovis Fire Department


Yucca Middle School 8th grade Science classes welcomed guest speakers from Clovis Fire Department, Jason Hamner and Zack Wheeler. The goal was to discuss chemical and physical reactions and changes that occur in a real-world environment, such as the fire department and talk about evidence of a chemical change and how that pertains to the characteristics of fire.

Mr. Hamner and Mr. Wheeler discussed how chemicals react in a house fire and the dangers of leaving chemicals out. They also discussed BLEVE (Boiling Liquid Vapor Explosion) and that by cooling the vapor back into a liquid (physical change), fire fighters can control a BLEVE.

Mr. Hamner and Mr. Wheeler also did some demonstrations including different colors of flames, demo of backdraft, as well as a demo of a small BLEVE. Fire Safety was high on the list throughout the discussion.

Thank you to Ms. DeBusk and Mrs. Warren for inviting Jason Hamner and Zack Wheeler from the Clovis Fire Department. Thank you to Mr. Hamner and
Mr. Wheeler for volunteering their time to come in and talk with our future scientists.


Jason Hamner has been with the Clovis Fire Department for 5 years as a driver operator and Public Education Coordinator.
Zack Wheeler has been with Clovis Fire Department for 1 year as a fire fighter.

Escuela Secundaria Yucca y Departamento de Bomberos de Clovis


Las clases de Ciencia de 8th grado de la Escuela Secundaria Yucca recibieron a los oradores invitados del Departamento de Bomberos de Clovis, Jason Hamner y Zack Wheeler. El objetivo fue hablar sobre las reacciones y los cambios químicos y físicos que ocurren en un entorno del mundo real, como en el departamento de bomberos, y analizar la evidencia de un cambio químico y cómo esto se relaciona con las características del fuego.
El Sr. Hamner y el Sr. Wheeler hablaron sobre cómo reaccionan los productos químicos en un incendio doméstico y los peligros de dejar productos químicos expuestos. También explicaron el fenómeno conocido como BLEVE (Explosión de Vapores de Líquidos en Ebullición) y cómo, al enfriar el vapor para que vuelva a su estado líquido (cambio físico), los bomberos pueden controlar una BLEVE.
El Sr. Hamner y el Sr. Wheeler también realizaron varias demostraciones, incluyendo diferentes colores de llamas, una demostración de retroceso de llama (backdraft), así como una demostración de una pequeña BLEVE. La seguridad contra incendios fue un tema prioritario durante toda la presentación.
Agradecemos a la Sra. DeBusk y a la Sra. Warren por invitar a Jason Hamner y Zack Wheeler del Departamento de Bomberos de Clovis. TambiƩn agradecemos al Sr. Hamner y al Sr. Wheeler por ofrecer su tiempo para venir a hablar con nuestros futuros cientƭficos.
Jason Hamner ha estado con el Departamento de Bomberos de Clovis durante 5 años como operador de vehículos y Coordinador de Educación Pública.
Zack Wheeler ha estado con el Departamento de Bomberos de Clovis durante 1 aƱo como bombero.
