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?

Asked by Nick almost 7 years ago

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.
