Fire

the starter has caught fire twice and jeep will only install a new starter i have been through the inspection process and been without a vehicle for a month. I know that the fire will start again with the new starter what should i do?
this is a certifed pre-owned jeep
the starter has already been replaced and that did not work

depends on how long u have had the car but i would demand a new jeep.

My dad is 37 years old. He went to go apply to be a firefighter the other day and they said the age limit is 36 years old. I was just wondering, is that considered age discrimination? Can they be sewed or be forced to change that rule? It just seemed unfair because my dad was really committed to this and he is very athletic for his age.

In the US, age discrimination only applies to people over 40, and in jobs where age isn’t a bona-fide factor. Neither is true in this case.

You’re dad is about 15 years too late to start to become a fireman.

If I were to scrape the yellow paint off of 2 pencils so that the pencils were bare wood, and rubbed them together, would it be possible for me to start a fire by doing this? I tried it and it gets really hot but I have never started a fire like this or even made smoke. Maybe I need to rube harder and longer. But would it be possible to start a fire by rubbing 2 pencils together?

Yes, it is physically possible.

This doesn’t mean it’s realistic though. You would also need something for the spark to fall onto, the pencils aren’t going to just burst into flames.

Pick 1 thing to Rescue.
A- Family
B- $10,000 Plasma TV, Clothing’s, Videogames, Cell Phone
C- Family, then a lot of material things.
D- All you Credit Cards, $2 Million Stash of money in the Attic, Food.

two weeks ago we DID have a fire…my gas dryer was on fire …i grabbed my kids and my pup and hauled a**….so i choose A,family

I think group is a collective noun.

"Its" is correct.
A "group" is a single thing.

Comparing the fire alarm to the manufacturer’s website, the fire alarm is a model 7010. http://www.brkelectronics.com/products/hardwired/smoke-alarms

There’s something that resembles a battery compartment, but I can’t open it. How do I open it to change the battery? Thanks.

Of course it has a battery backup. A smoke alarm would be pretty useless if it didn’t work when the power went off. The advantage of hard wired is just a much longer battery life.
That unit it kind of hard to replace the battery in. You’ll need the detailed instructions in the manual.

I often see in the news people getting arrested for started fires. What I want to know is how do the investigators catch these people? Obviously some might be stupid and get caught in the act or seen by witnesses. But most of the time this isn’t the case. So when a person say dumps gasoline in a forest, lights a match, then runs away, how the heck do they prove or even find out who did it? Also consider the fact that any evidence like forensic hairs are probably burned away!
If the person doesn’t leave anything behind (gas container), doesn’t touch anything, and like I said the microscopic hairs are burned in the fire, I don’t see how forensics could be used…

Even the most intense fire will usually leave behind sufficient clues that show what ignited it and whether or not it had a natural/accidental cause. For instance, it’s easy to tell if a fire was started by an arsonist if he used gasoline as an accelerant. There will be trace aromatic hydrocarbons left behind which a forensics dog can smell. Proving who started a forest fire can be tricky if there are no witnesses and if the psycho doesn’t brag about it after a few drinks at the local bar (don’t laugh. A lot of undercover cops hang out at bars because a psychopath’s worst enemy is often his own ego), but it’s fairly easy to catch an arsonist who burns down a building. Once there are any traces of accelerants detected or no explainable accidental causes for the fire can be found (shorted wiring, corroded gas line, carelessly discarded cigarette, etc), all you have to do is find somebody with a motive and no alibi and it’s usually easy going from there. You’ll find it’s typically either going to be the building owner looking to commit insurance fraud, or an enemy of his looking to do him in.
