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 7 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.

How do firefighters know where there are hydrants around a house they are called to? A map, memory, once they arrive, etc.?

Asked by CHILLI almost 8 years ago

Maps and knowledge. If you are arriving to find your hydrant you are behind the eight ball. You need to know it ahead of time cause it may change the route that you may take.

Hey I asked the question about hitting a fire from exposure. Please and and let me know if you still believe it is 2nd floor. Under defensive tactics

Asked by JJ Watt over 7 years ago

You need to keep in mind that you were directed to attack from the 4th floor from a higher authority so there is no freelancing in the fire service. Every defensive attack is different. Is there burning embers that are of concern that you couldnt reach from 2nd floor thus attack from the 4th floor. To broad of a question to give a certain answer.

Do you think a person torching can instantly his pants catch on fire front and back. Could there have been a leak in the line to cause propane to leak onto his pants. This happened in gresham sc

Asked by Danab over 7 years ago

I am going to try to guess your question. If you are referring to a torching can for setting backfires and a persons pants caught fire quickly, I can only assume there would be a hole in a line. If my guess is not correct rewrite your question please.
