Im a female firefighter in a fire hall of 70 other active men. their are 8 girls total other than me. these 8 girls have been in for way longer than i have but have done Absolutely nothing with their time spent. i want to get my red tag so i can fight fire on an interior level(go inside the building) but im stuck. i have taken and done everything to get them in my first year and have busted my *** and have had no problems until this one day. When i started to ask to get checked out on my progress to maybe one day soon get my red tags. since then i have been faced with pranks like messing my car up and stealing my car keys and hiding them even my Chief wont even talk to me when i ask him he just ignores me and walks away. none of this was a problem until i showed more interest in interior firefightingWHY ARE THEY BEING THIS WAY?!?!
Yes, I sure do. In my past life (before retirement), I serviced fire Equipment, INCLUDING extinguishers. So, I can safely say, that I DO KNOW, how to use one. I remember the old style extinguishers that you had to tip upside down, to activate the foam mixture. They were big, all copper babies, that weighed a ton. It had a small vial of acid inside, that mixed with the dry powder, and created a mess, that came out by gravity. They are long gone, now, and on occasion, you will see one in an antique shop. The biggest mistake that people make, is buying an extinguisher that's either too small, or one that's not right for what they want to use it for. For instance, a person should buy only a DRY CHEMICAL EXTINGUISHER, that's rated for A, B, and C fires. (Apaper, cardboard, and most plastics, Bgas and oil, C electrical appliances), and at least a 4 extinguisher. NOTE, if you have a fire, that you THINK you might need an extinguisher, it's probably too late, but call 911, IMMEDIATELY, then use your extinguisher, and be ready to get the hell out. Also, NEVER, NEVER, EVER, use water on any electrical appliance fire.
so which you do no longer injure your self or harm the equipment used interior the lab. some chemical aspects which you artwork with interior the lab could reason buring. I actually have a blouse that I wore in lab and it has holes in it. (I observed lab proccedure yet many of the chemical aspects nevertheless have been given on the blouse). Goggles are mandatory interior the lab so as that chemical aspects do no longer burn your eyes this may lead directly to perimate harm on your eyes. The scaple which you utilize for the period of biology can decrease human beings if no longer used good. you in addition to could could decrease to rubble yet another pupils experiement and reason a much bigger situation if 2 chemical aspects that can no longer combine get blended. some chemical aspects can initiate a hearth if blended. Lab are ment for you to verify approximately technology. in case you harm equipment or you or a classmate gets injured then you definately are hurting others gaining expertise of because of the fact the lab won't be allowed to proceed if a situation takes place.
Yes, I spent four years in the Air Force as a firefighter and two years as a civilian fireman at an Army Post and have used an extinguisher many times. Extinguishers come in A,B,C, and D, remember to read the guide and choose the correct one for your needs.
We have yearly trainings (except in the nursing home I currently work in) on how to use fire extinguishers in health care. One time we even got to put out a fire in the hospital parking lot. Good for you for putting out that fire - my big fear of the in-wall fire extinguishers is that with my luck I would slice open an aterery while breaking the glass. But then maybe I could put out the fire with my spurting blood : (wicked grin).
i think of they could ban autos, or a minimum of the evil good factors. there is not any reason that any one desires a very computerized transmission. they could ban intense potential gas tanks too. If everybody replaced into constrained to two or 3 gallon gas tanks, they might nonetheless make it from one gas station to a distinctive, and ought to hold extra 2 or 3 gallon gas cans in the event that they have been traveling in aspects the place there have been no longer many gas stations. If there replaced right into a police chase it would be over in 40 miles or so. they do no longer % intense potential engines the two. there is not any clarification for an motor vehicle to be waiting to pass over seventy 5 miles consistent with hour. they could get rid of exhaust suppressors or a minimum of require a $200 tax. i think of that should get rid of countless crashes on the grounds which you should pay attention the different motor vehicle coming in the direction of you before the crash.
