WATER CAN ON A CAR FIRE?

Sunday, July 24, 2011  Well at least they were blocking for FF Safety, too bad they weren't wearing SCBA!

   


 

AHH YES! THE DC FEMS SAGA!

Saturday, July 23, 2011  And we continue to be amazed by the decisions of the DC Leadership!  A true WTF - according to our sources some companies are being sent to locations that aren't even open during their stand-by times and that speciality companies such as Rescue Squads are even being used for this silliness!

They Call it Pranks - We Call it Hazing

Wednesday, July 20, 2011  This individual would have been better off training and concetrating on how to prevent Firefighter LODDs than doing this!  In this day and age it makes the entire fire service look bad and like we have nothing else better to do!

AIR BAG EXPLODES AS FIREFIGHTERS OPEN HOOD

Explosion at 4:45

Tuesday, July 5, 2011  Thanks to www.FireCritic.com for sharing this post with us.

Moscow, Idaho firefighters work hard to get a handle on this house fire. The fire apparently started in the garage and spread to the house. At least one vehicle burned as well. As firefighters try to get under the hood to silence the horn, the passenger side airbag explodes.

Close call? I think so. I think the firefighters do to as they quickly step back and rethink their attack on the never-ending horn.

The close call happens at 4:45 into the video.

We have all probably been there…I was thinking they should cut it off as the video was playing.

The fire occurred yesterday on July 4th around noon in Moscow, Idaho.

   


 

IC's Take Note...

Monday, July 4, 2011  Incident Commanders belong in a vehicle - LISTENING to radio traffic and managing the Strategy - NOT IN THE FRONT YARD!

Sector / Division / Group Officers - need to be in FULL PPE managing Tactical Operations!

Need some reasons why?  Read some NIOSH reports  - you will find plenty!
