You had one job.

Are you fucking kidding me, that is literally loony toon, cartoon shit you'd see on tv :v:
[QUOTE=ScoutKing;43197303]Bravo class fires, that might involve gas/aircraft fuel, you should use foam such as AFF, or water as long as it isnt a direct stream so you dont spread the gas around.[/QUOTE]Basically this. A properly proportioned foam applied correctly will essentially form a seal trapping any hydrocarbon trying to escape. Flaming fuel is also nothing to play around with, I've actually been trapped between 2 burning diesels and a 200' line of fire armed only with a non-charged attack line. It didn't help that we were also in the process of calibrating our main truck to use our new foam concentrate.

I also must be stupid for doing a primary search on a recent house fire we had just in case anyone wasn't accounted for when they phoned 911.
what the fuck were they doing with a pump that shoots jet fuel in the first place?
[QUOTE=KlaseR;43198474]what the fuck were they doing with a pump that shoots jet fuel in the first place?[/QUOTE] It was used to ignite the simulation fire, but somehow ended up in their water supply.
[QUOTE=amute;43197040]Having had the displeasure to consistently work with them, you actually understand what type of people they typically are. Not saying all of them are bad, but a lot of them, mostly city ones, are arrogant, incompetent and self-righteous[/QUOTE] And what you do?
[QUOTE=Derpmonster;43198580]And what you do?[/QUOTE] I can only assume he's an arsonist.
[QUOTE=WaLLy3K;43196862]What fucking asshole puts jet fuel down the drain, I think is the real fuckup here![/QUOTE] Well where else are they going to put it? They aren't talking about the sewer here, what they do is have everything (Water, unburnt fuel, etc.) run into tanks, and they filter it so they can reuse the water and dispose of (or reuse) the fuel. What happened here was that the filter failed (Or somebody screwed up) and the fuel got mixed into the water.

I can't believe you're throwing shit at people who will risk their lives to save people in danger and you can't even show the slightest bit of respect and also proof that they are actually what you say.

Plane crash at KSEA, jet fuel dumped on blaze "hilarious" according to severely injured passenger :v:

All firefighters performing first aid must have some sort of certification, be it First Responder or EMT-B. Around here, ambulances usually arrive roughly 5-10 minutes after we arrive on scene so pre-hospital care is crucial for patient survival rates. As for the medals, no thanks, I have plenty hanging in the station.

In my city 25% is EMT-P
