I just move in to a new apartment unit. That has a hard-wire smoke detector in the hallway. I Would like to know. If my smoke detector would go off if I set off some roach bombs?
MAKE MENTOS ROCKETS! FTW Take 4-5 mentos , wrap them in cloth, Let it hang by the lid of a coke bottle. Shake and throw on ground. FIRE AWAY!
It is an exhaust hose. It keeps Diesel exhaust from getting all over the building and gear. (It actually ruins gear). It also keeps guys from getting cancer which has been a huge issue in the past. There are several kinds. We have Plymovent. Plymovent attaches with an air bladder that fills with air around the exhaust pipe. The hose is attached to a rail that runs the length of the bay. It has a pressure switch inside the hose so when you start the truck up the system turns on. When you pull out the hose rides along the track until it gets to an automatic release at the door when it lets all the air out of the bladder and lets go of the tailpipe. The system runs a preset time, 2 minutes, to get all the exhaust out of the building. When the vehicle returns it backs in and a firefighter manually attaches it using the switch on the hose to fill the bladder with air once he positions it on the exhaust again. I have seen other exhaust systems with magnets too and I think they actually are a better system.
I agree with scott's answer but they also have electrical plugs to keep the batteries charged which they just unplug B4 they roll
