I am not sure about this.I am 15 and I want to be a Firefighter when I can, so I was wondering if an academy is like a college or different. Would I need to go to a four year college or something when I graduate/ finish the academy?
muratic acid, wire brush, rubber gloves and safety glasses is what you need. Dilute the acid according to the instructions, spray on mixture and wire brush the area, rinse well with water and your done. your local hardware or building centre will have all of the above items as well as instructions.
What about CILLIT BANG . it is a wonderful cleaner.
I hate to say I'm cheapbut I use soap and water and a stiff brushit does the trick
spray with oven cleaner - scrub with a brush and rinse well - i used this before on the brick around the fireplace doors it cleaned up nice just lay down a tarp or newspaper before you spray to protect carpet for flooring
sadly this is a subject under much discussion etc here in oz. stay v don't stay. leave early v wait till the last minute. swimming pool, dam, water tank. well swimming pool maybe ok but it is usually smoke and heat that kills, dam is probably a better option and the water tank is a definite no no - the water gets very hot to the point of boiling. leaving in a car has for and against. some survived covered in wet blankets whilst other perished all systems/methods etc are being reviewed at the moment. the best options would appear to be have a fire plan, good clearing around the house (fire breaks), plenty of water on hand and water down everything such as the house. but the best would seem to be to build an underground bunker/safe area of some sort. this was done during the war and is certainly still done in cyclone areas. sadly at the time of posting there have been 181 positive deaths and over 80 people missing, the fires are still burning and the loss of housing, cattle, sheep, wildlife etc is beyond belief. there are a lot of factors yet to be considered, the speed of this and every fire, the ferocity, wind speeds, dryness of the countryside etc my personal option would be to leave as soon as i knew there was a possibility of a fire but in some cases even this was not possible this time.
