Fire Training Gone Bad
During a controlled burn scenario to train firefighters, the siuation goes south quickly as participants learn that gasoline has been used as a accelerant to enhance the blaze. Add to the mix two trapped firefighters, their rescuer, and a pumper which won’t go into gear and you’ve got one of if a mess. (video by Lou Angeli)

You’ve SEEN em ??! Why don’t you try working for one and then run your mouth.
All I have to do is …
All I have to do is look at the way you spelled ‘retarded’ to know you have no clue what you’re talking about when it comes to probably just about anything ..
I’ve seen paid …
I’ve seen paid departments in action. I’m NOT impressed.
are you just …
are you just ing retarted or a Jr?
us voluneteer …
us voluneteer firefighters go thrue the exact same trainin as full time firefighters, we are no different, and my hats off to that woman, screw you ireland my volunteer station is more organzied then any other station round here so shove taht “stick to grass and car fires” up your a**
you need to …
you need to research your facts and look outside of your state which probably has 1-2 decent size cities .. raleigh and charlotte if you’re from north, and just charleston if you’re from south. do some research on fire depts. from massachusetts. almost 1000 people per sq. mi. .. i think we know fires. my dept. pretty much started RIT’s too so even though you have ‘as much training as me and my officers or you train even more rawr!’ IF ..you have any questions, i’ll be glad to answer them.
elk, you said ‘many …
elk, you said ‘many volunteers’ go through the same training. maybe where you’re from..not where i am. and ‘carolinafireman’ .. the NFPA does NOT regulate training or academy criteria on a department to department basis, they have a minimum standard which qualifies you as a ‘firefighter’ .. that’s typically what volley’s get. Then you have full time depts. (like mine) that do their own academy with training varying significantly. # of runs/working fires=BIG DIFFERENCE..not just the paycheck.
Don’t know where …
Don’t know where you get your info but Volunteers are required to go through the same training as Paid guys. Its called an NFPA Standard, Look it up. If you had any clue you would also realize that the only difference between volunteers & paid guys is a paycheck. There are many VFD’s that train just as hard if not harder than many paid departments just to prove people like you wrong. By the way I have just as many certs as the city guys that volunteer at my dept. Research your facts.
Sully, apparently …
Sully, apparently it is you that has no clue. Many volunteers go through the exact same academy as the paid guys. My department is one of them. Our paid staff and volunteers attend the exact same academy and are required to perform the same number of training hours after the acadamy as our paid crews.
If DPSST doesn’t differentiate between volunteers and paid firefighters, why should you?……..by the way, you shouldn’t.

my post pertained to you elktracker
other than the 70% …
other than the 70% fact, you have no clue what you’re talking about. no volunteers go through the full time 4 month academy my city put us through .. and most full time, large departments put their recruit classes through their own academy’s not the state ones. those cities train their recruits according to what we’re going to run into on the line, such as high rise training , etc. i’m not trying to take anything away from volleys but once again .. they DO NOT go throught the same training.
ireland21po…join …
ireland21po…join a fire department(volunteer) and see how things really go…we do everything that a paid fire department does. Not to mention the cities like mine where we dont have a paid fire dept. and I love being a violunteer firefighter…
volunteers make up …
volunteers make up over 70% of all firefighters. Not to mention that they go through the exact same certification classes as the paid firefighters. Deaths happen to both paid and volunteers, and almost all of them are preventable. Don’t be such an idiot.

you need to check …
you need to check out the louden county va web sight and see how thoes paid fire fighters almost died
ok hole im a …
ok hole im a Vollie as you call us but im a professional firefighter so watch your cause when you think your the best your as grass;
fire does not descrininate between paid and voulenteer .
my husband and I …
my husband and I are both volunteer fire fighters, and my husband has every qualification that you have to fight fires. The problem is that volunteer fire departments dont get near the revenues that “you Paid” departments have. And so there for are less likely to be trained. But that should be where the paid guys reach out and offer education and safety so that these people dont die…and professional firefighters make mistakes too and die…so dont be close minded
Vollies die all the …
Vollies die all the time pretending they are real fier fighters. Stick to car fires and leave the structure fires to the paid professionals

yes your right and …
yes your right and i will take it back but he had no reason to call me a lier too i didnt wont to fall out with any one that is not my intention at all and you are right the police should help but they dont thats to much like work for them the tenders do have camras on them but most eather dont work or they never get a clear image of the face and nothing can be done but im sorry if i upset you and probably wont talk to psp310 again so good bye thanks
I don’t think there …
I don’t think there was any reason to call psp310 an idiot. In the US, we don’t have widespread vandalism of fire hoses in the middle of putting out fires. That is a riot situation and if it is a problem where you live, the police should be responding with the fire dept every time there is a fire to catch the little s who are causing the problems. I mean, catch them in the act and you’ll have evidence that they committed the original crime, arson and interference with firefighting ops.
look i sad i didnt …
look i sad i didnt wont to fight but hear goes you bloody idiot yes its true look it up i didnt say it was over in america i just wonderd if it was like that over there im not trying to make you look bad you did that all by your self dont have a go at me for your downfalls
