Hey there!
I know that the firemans carry is not really used anymore due to the person having more smoke exposure. However, in an emergency, is it safe to carry a pregnant woman using the fireman's carry? is it possible?

Life before limb, whatever it takes to get them out

When u r fighting a fire inside a structure and u put it out to the best of ur knowledge. Do u leave the nozzle inside the bldg or back it out?? The reason I'm asking is I've always been told to leave it inside for ur primary,secondary, overhaul teams

Asked by Justin King about 6 years ago

If there is active fire hose stays with you. During an overhaul phase the nozzle is usually left in a easy to reach location if more water is needed. Depends on dept procedures on this practice.

Never been tested. But high enough to serve the public lol.

What if I call 911 to report a fire, but I put it out before the FD gets here, will they still respond?
And, when I call in a explosion how many engines or trucks will respond ( although it depends on the department)

Asked by Ty almost 6 years ago

First off why would you be calling for an explosion, this does send red flags for me so I will not be answering that question. But as for the first one, we will still respond due to you may not have completely extinguished.

I was just wondering what kind of questions I should be expecting during a volunteer firefighter interview?

Asked by Danika over 5 years ago
