I have had a passion for collecting fire trucks (Chevy) (American Lafrance) (Pierce) 1970’s And up Just curios if anyone else shared that same passion theirs an old saying they just dont make things like they did.

I did but they soon burned a hole in my pocket and my enthusiasm was extingused

Once/if you get accepted what training do you get as a volunteer fire fighter? Who pays for it? Whats the usual minimum hours a week? What will you respond to? (will it be the same calls as normal fire fighters or just basic ones? What can you be expected to see and deal with? Do yo have to be certified? who pays for that? anything else you can think of to add would be great to get an ideal of the job, atmpshere, and what to expect. I am going to do ride along with ems and vfd.

You get ashes for dinner.

I am a member of our local fire dept and I am making a slide show of fires and fundraisers throughout the year for all the men and need songs for it.. I would like to have some slow as well as fast ones and the only one I have is ‘The Fireman" by George Strait.. So any and all help is appreciated!!! THANKS!!!

The metal fire bowl has a lit without holes. Is it safe to just cover it, therefore smothering the fire? Or should we worry about a back draft?

It is very safe to cover it with the lid and if it closes well you should have no back draft.
However, this method will soot your lid and I would not use it.
The best way is to cover the fire with sand. It totally closes off the air supply to your fire and kills it without the black soot. You can sieve the sand from the cooled, charred cole after wards and re-use it for a next time.

ahh. it’s killing me that i can’t remember the name of it right now, bonus points if you can find the website.
(bonus points = self satisfaction)

There are quite a few that have been converted. 44 was previously mentioned. 23 (http://www.sothebyshomes.com/norcal/sales/0084323) would also fit the bill. It was also a former residence of Jerry Brown. 33 was on the market last year though I would describe it a quirky rather than lavish.

I know i have to find it on a walk but where’s the best place to look?
I have an action replay but everytime i enter the 99 of everything code it’ll give me 99 fireman hats but it deletes all the kennel dogs.

I don’t advise using an action replay.

How to get a Fireman’s Hat:

1.Obtain the lucky collar and clover clock and put them on for
extra luck
2. Go to the furthest point in town and get the question mark
blocks there

The game is completely random but this gives you a better chance

♥Hope this helps

this perfect for you

Would like to know whether it is a legal requirement to have fire alarms, blankets and extinguishers in a rented property.
If it is, how do I go about reporting my landlord if they haven’t met the requirements?

Many thanks
No, i’m not trying to break the lease - our landlord are being really difficult to us at the moment, so trying to catch them out!!

Yes and no. Actually it depends on the state you live in.In Kentucky, I am only *required* to provide one fire alarm per 1200sq ft of living space and all windows/exits have to work property for fire evacuation reasons, and by law, I do not have to purchase the batteries for the alarms, that is tenant responsibility(of course, I do not follow that guideline, and I check the batteries myself monthly, since i personally pick up the rents). However, in places like PA it is a requirement to provide fire alarms in every bedroom. Also remember that in the event of a fire, the landlords property insurance does not cover ANY RENTER’S PROPERTY. Call your local fire authority to get the low-down on your local laws.

What does this phrase mean? It’s from the song Seventeen Aint So Sweet by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus

This is the line:

"THERE’S A FIRE IN YOUR EYES AND I HOPE YOU LET IT BURN"
Please, no stupid answers. I’d like to know the actual meaning behind the phrase. Pretend it’s not from one of their songs, that its just a phrase. What does it mean.

he wants to let a fire in someone’s eyes burn

I’ve search the net and read that FM200 puts out fire by chemical and physical ways, may I know what exactly does the "chemical and physical" way means? Also I know that it is primarily designed to be activated at the initial stage of a fire, but if I only activate the FM200 system after the fire in the room has gone out of control, would the FM200 still be able to put out the fire?

FM200 is an HFC hydroflorocarbon and works in a similar fashion to the CFC and HCfc like Halon that it was designed to replace.

Most people understand the fire triangle (Heat fuel oxygen) remove any one an a fire is no longer possible. However in recent years the fire triangle has been modified to include a fourth Item (chemical reaction). The triangle then becomes a four sided pyramid (tetrahedron)

CFC, HFC, HCFC extinguishing chemicals work by interrupting the chemical process of combustion. (Slow or stop the rapid oxidation) . the other three sides of the tetrahedron are physical means where you do one of the following:

1.Remove heat by cooling with water or some other means like absorption of heat through a phase change of a material. Liquid CO2 turing to a gas absorbs heat.

2.)Remove or displace oxygen. Prevent oxygen from getting to the fire. CO2 is heavier than air so it forms a temporary barrier and also displaces oxygen. The result is starving the fire of its oxygen.

3.) removing the fuel. An example of this is an oil pipeline fire where you can shut off the fuel supply from an upstream valve.

I suspect that the physical extinguishing property of FM200 is a combination of Oxygen displacement and temperature reduction which would be secondary effects. the primary extinguishing action would be the interference of the chemical reaction of the combustion process.

Extinguishers are rated to handle specific sized fires. Once a fire gets "out of control" or beyond the level which the extinguisher can handle it will not extinguish the fire. It will have some brief effect that can slow it down but it depends upon how large the fire is.

Closed room fire suppression systems like those found in a ships engine room or a moder computer room also rely upon the isolation and sealing of the room. basically you kill the ventilation and close the doors to prevent oxygen from entering then the gas is released and in the case of CO2 flooding it takes some time to fill the room to smoother the flames..

If the doors are left open or the ventilation remains running the extinguisher may not be effective. On most of these systems there can be automatic means to kill ventilation motors and operate dampers to help seal the room (and may include killing electrical power). So even if the fire is out of control activating the system will slow the fire down by providing containment and reducing its supply of oxygen.

CFC & HFC systems are designed to quickly extinguish fires BEFORE they become out of control. Sine they do not hurt electrical components like water or dry chemical would the idea it to use them without the fear to causing more damage to the equipment. By using these extinguishers earlier in the stage of a fire you prevent the fire from getting out of control and limit the damage.
