Last Answer on June 29, 2022

Hey there! My stepdad is a firefighter and for Christmas I plan to get him an engraved halligan beer bottle opener. I can use up to 20 characters including spaces, so I wanted to ask for some funny/punny ideas to use!

Thanks :)

Hmm,

Super Firefighter.

That’s the best with a limit of 20.

came upon an accident where a driver was t-boned on the drivers side. She was pinned and unresponsive but breathing. People at the scene had called 911
When first reponders got there she was doa.
Should i have tried cpr with her pinned in her seat.

She probably hands Agonal Respiration’s which is basically dying breathes. There was obvious life ending injuries to call DOA. In hindsight after all details are out you probably wouldn’t start. But when in doubt try

I'm trying to decide between an ABC dry chem extinguisher or Purple K for my car. ABC could stop interior or grass fires but it supposedly causes serious corrosion issues after. Purple K doesn't but only works on liquids. Would you have any guidance?

No brained ABC, cars are made up of so many materials. If your car catches fire it is usually toast anyway

Asked by Angel over 6 years ago

Yes, Veterans preference but also maturity and discipline that can be lacking in those that have not served. My opinion is that all graduating high school students serve 2 yrs in the military like Isreali teens do.

Not sure you can answer this as it is re:Canadian law but even your best guess is a good start. If a firefighter has been charge with a criminal offense (aggravated assault), can he remain actively working?

Asked by Poopsie over 7 years ago

Dependent on the level of the assault. Sexual Assault and Domestic Violence would disqualify in the US.
