That’s to equalize the static charge that can build up on the vehicle. The static isn’t dangerous to people, but it could fry sensitive lifesaving equipment aboard the vehicle under the wrong conditions.

It depends on the feature. The simplest are usually the best and the more complex the worst.

Not knowing which ones you are asking about it is difficult to be more specific.

I just received a job offer that i really want. I was told that my job training was 8 weeks. Im supposed to report to basic in 9 weeks. What do i do? Do i tell the employer now or in the middle of the training? Can they fire me on the spot?

I know this sounds stupid by why do fire fighters wear breathing apparatus and protective clothing when entering a burning building? like what are some hardcore reasons as to why besides the fact that they dont want to get burned lol.

I never got that lol.

I’m baffled by your request for "hardcore" reasons for wearing PROTECTIVE GEAR when firefighters enter burning buildings.

I’m guessing there may be a lot of things that you "never got" lol.

i hope it never happens to me or anybody else, but would you go back in even though you got safely out before??

Oh yeah - but my cat would be the first out of the door. Let’s say he wasn’t due to being scared or trapped -

I would risk my life for his. No doubt about it. Lay low, wet cloth over face, and call out for Mojo!

Does anyone know of another fire department or anyone who would be willing to donate a fire truck or building supplies for our building that is falling down.

For the truck, you might try your state legislastors like the gfolks in this story did: http://www.missourinet.com/gestalt/go.cfm?objectid=38488733-15D1-4DE9-A333EB7C36FBC297

You might also post your message here: http://forums.firehouse.com/showthread.php?t=47742

I am going to check with the local fire department. I want a thermal-gel I can hook up to a hose. I know that the fires will continue to come here!

TC is spot on! Our aggressive saving of natural forests has created a problem. For the last 50 years we have aggressively put out ALL fires as soon as possible. Smokey has informed you the you can prevent forest fires.

Well, we now have huge areas of woodland, with no cleared areas interspersed. This means when a fire does start during dry and windy conditions, the fires are enormous.

Had we let some of the previous fires burn a bit, there would be areas that would stop subsequent fires because there is no fuel.

I do know the DNR is realizing they made a mistake no letting nature take it’s course.

I am getting ready to take the written test and when i pass it I have to take the physical test and am wondering how hard it is.

My suggestion is you train until you feel like King Kong on cocaine.

A friend who fights forest fires tells me that when the day comes that he gets out of bed and doesn’t feel 10 feet tall and bullet proof, that will be the first day of his retirement. No sense getting killed fighting a fire if you only feel 9′ 4" and bullet resistant.

Good luck on your test. And thanks, you will be on the front like of first responders. Someday you may save my A$$ and I appreciate that already. BTW, be safe and don’t sell yourself cheaply.

Chicago burned that way did it not? lol
