If a molotov cocktail is thrown in a very old wood dry building consisting of flammable furniture and other types of fuel, with good oxygen supply, how could the fire self extinguish in a short period of time?

Asked by Brylar Foustark about 9 years ago

I would find it improbable that it would self extinguish. If it had limited oxygen than that would be feasible.

If I am an RN right now, and want to become a firefighter would I still have to become a certified emt before I do that, or is a bachelors degree in nursing work instead of that?

Asked by ZZZZZZ about 9 years ago

No, obviously you are referring to be a volunteer. If you are anticipating working on a medic unit then the state would require you to obtain one.

Can a final exit door be left open even if it leads onto your neighbour's property? The door opens inward, but he's claiming his property is private and the door needs to be closed.

Asked by Shay over 8 years ago

Depends on your ordinances, but why would you leave a final open, or do you mean locked
