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 almost 10 years ago

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

My girlfriend is having a baby so my question is what car seat have u seen personally save the most lives. And most infinite/children r killed because the car seat isn't installed correctly can I go to a firehouse and will u show me how to instill

Asked by Jessy Wolsleben over 9 years ago

The best person to ask that would be the consumer safety commission, they tend to monitor these matters. As for installation a large majority of police and fire depts have employees trained just for that. Our police dept handles thos for us.

I work in retail supply chain as an EHS specialist. I am trying to find some clarity around the storage of certain household chemicals in a warehouse setting. Can I store Flammables and Oxidizers in the same room but separated by 20 feet?

Asked by BCH13 over 9 years ago

Pretty much no. OSHD Standard 1926.152 should have the clarification you need.
