Fire Training Gone Bad

Posted by admin on December 21st, 2009 and filed under fire training | 25 Comments »

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)

    Dirty helemts are a no no. Gear is supposed to be clean and always in good condition. Anyone who thinks they look good because their helmet is full of soot and filth is not remembering the basics of PPE very well.

    There is no reason to get mad and call people stupid or dipshit. Come on guys we gotta suck it up. If they don’t do it there is no way to make them understand. All we can do is keep on doing what we do. We do it for the love and respect we feel for them not what they feel for us. Besides we are tough and if they want to and cry about it we can take it.

    well dipshit, Its called training. You need to train to know what the your doing in a fire. In my town its a weekly thing to purposely start a controlled burn and put it out. different scenarios each time.

    we all do the same job no matter if it’s a paid dept or volunteer dept and these firefighters were not using our tax dollars to make a drama movie they used it do a training and to show other firefighters how trainings can go wrong.. things are going to go wrong at training and on fire calls thats why we all stick together and we dont leave anyone behind we all go home together at the end of the day.
