HOSE LINE, CELL PHONE, PPE...
Monday, September 1, 2008
-
As you can tell in the first picture the guy holding the hose is on his cell phone with no PPE. The guy in the vest is the chief of the FD. No way to tell his is command or who he is. The other guy in the pitcher is backing in the ambulance per there SOG that are in place so we don't back over anyone!!!

Picture two is the asst chief helping out on extraction . no PPE, no ID, no safety but the vest.

Picture Three is a bigger view of how the set up was. Nice roadway blockage to protect the scene and the FF. We just went over this the week before. I would say that some of the training paid off. This is now a SOG for there and many other FD's in the area.

The Story - and Lessons Learned the hose was left outside the engine bay overnight after returning from a late night fire assignment. when the crewman went to move the hose he found the surprise. three lessons learned: don't leave fire hose out side the engine bay overnight. always wear gloves. always look at what you're doing first. while the first lesson slipped by us, the other two were done correctly, avoiding a very serious injury!   Courtesy: www.wildlandfire.com
