Are you glad that Obama is not a fire chief?

Posted by admin on July 14th, 2010 and filed under fire chief | 3 Comments »

I am. Remember his reason for not sending skimmers from other parts of the country to the Gulf oil spill?

He told a Florida senator that "they might need them". Obviously meaning there might be another spill:

So this is Obama logic folks. That’s like a building being on fire but the fire department won’t send more trucks as needed because there might be a fire somewhere else.

Absolutely stunning.
Bushlied: "He still did better than Bush did with Katrina." So you admit that Obama’s response sucked! Thanks.

oh what a crock Bushlied. how many days has this been going on? close to 100. most people died during the katrina storm. Not from dehydration or from what Bush didn’t do. You know the government was not set up to save everyone from from their own ignorance or non intelligence. They were told they needed to leave and they stayed there. Your argument is sad. If Obama is the great leader and savior why didn’t his a$$kicking get the job done?

Fire Safety Tips | Kitchen Oil Fire

Posted by admin on July 14th, 2010 and filed under fire safety | 10 Comments »

Dramatic 30-second video about how to deal with a common kitchen fire … oil in a frying pan. You probably never realized that a wet dishcloth can be a one size fits all lid to cover a fire in a pan! Or that pouring water on an oil fire WILL have disasterous results!!

At the Fire Fighting Training school they would demonstrate this with a deep fat fryer set on the fire field. An instructor would don a fire suit and using an 8 oz cup at the end of a 10 foot pole toss water onto the grease fire. The results got the attention of the students.

The water, being heavier than oil, sinks to the bottom where it instantly becomes superheated. The explosive force of the steam blows the burning oil up and out. On the open field, it became a thirty foot high fireball that resembled a nuclear blast. Inside the confines of a kitchen, the fire ball hits the ceiling and fills the entire room.

Also, do not throw sugar or flour on a grease fire. One cup creates the explosive force of two sticks of dynamite. This is a powerful message; watch the video and remember what you see. Tell your whole family about this video. Or better yet, send them the link to it.
