How do firefighters know where there are hydrants around a house they are called to? A map, memory, once they arrive, etc.?

Asked by CHILLI about 9 years ago

Maps and knowledge. If you are arriving to find your hydrant you are behind the eight ball. You need to know it ahead of time cause it may change the route that you may take.

can you be a firefighter if you have asthma?

Asked by Chuck about 9 years ago

I would have to probably say no. Reason being is OSHA requires us to be tested early to be able to blow in a device that measures total lung capacity. If you can not achieve desire results you are not allowed to use a SCBA thus not fight fire interiorly in a building. But that does not stop you from performing in other areas of a fire dept operation.

Hey I asked the question about hitting a fire from exposure. Please and and let me know if you still believe it is 2nd floor. Under defensive tactics

Asked by JJ Watt almost 9 years ago

You need to keep in mind that you were directed to attack from the 4th floor from a higher authority so there is no freelancing in the fire service. Every defensive attack is different. Is there burning embers that are of concern that you couldnt reach from 2nd floor thus attack from the 4th floor. To broad of a question to give a certain answer.

I'm an amateur writer and currently I'm working on a car crash scene. As an EMT, If you were sent to treat two girls with minor injuries in a major accident, step by step, what exactly would you do? I need to know it like I'm doing it myself.

What's the difference between a grease fire and electrical fire

Asked by Ms herbert over 9 years ago

Grease involves a flammanle liquid which does not allow the application of water. And electrical fire is the same way until power is turned off.
