The following video was taken from a fire in Long Ridge Volunteer Fire District in North Stamford (CT) on May 10, 2010. The video catches a Fire Chief getting a direct-contract blast from a master stream. The Fire Chief had no protective clothing and was only wearing a reflective rain jacket and bell cap. Fortunately, he was not seriously injured, but this should serve as a training tool to always wear your proper gear and expect the unexpected!
