As long as they can do the job what’s the problem?

I had a horrible experience with a garden fire which started when I was asleep. Ended up fine but I keep thinking about what would have happened if it had got into the roof. My roof is insulated with super glass but would this prevent a blaze?

Asked by CD over 3 years ago

Not quite sure what super glass is?

Bit graphic, but do you deal with the bodies and if you do, do you get used to seeing them?

Asked by Ethan4598 over 4 years ago

Most are able to build an emotional wall and can concentrate on the tasks at hand. But there are some that can only do it for so long and have to retire and unfortunately there are so who take their own lives. I know of at least 5 co workers who have killed themselves. I have had a few calls that are imbedded in my head but can keep them back in the cave of my mind.

Have you ever took valuables out of a burning building before? I would assume objects isn’t a top priority even if it’s expensive or important but have you ever done it?

Asked by Fanny about 4 years ago

Yes, during overhaul or if we have time to get things out but it depends on staffing. I currently operate a 1 man Engine and I cover approx 100 sq miles by myself with back up 20 miles away. So with that said my time is very limited to do alot of things, lol.
