Fire

For a project I am doing I need to find out how much it would cost to call the fire department if it’s a non emergency. Like if you were putting on a performance with Fire in it what would it cost to tell the fire department that the fire was part of the show and not an emergency! I really need to know this fast! Thanks

For non-emergencies in the Uk you would pay the normal call cost to call the Fire Service. This is because it is NOT an emergency. For any call which may be classed as an emergency then the calls in UK are free, using the code 999 or 112. It is 911 in North America. Same rules apply to all of the emergency services. The emergency calls are routed directly through to the control rooms so that they can be dealt with as a matter of urgency. All non-urgent calls have to be separate so that the system is always kept free for the emerncy calls.

I’m doing a research paper on Volunteer Fire Department budget cuts. I need help finding sources for yearly budgets.

Then you are going to have to contact lots of different volunteer fire departments and get their budgets, because every fire department is different.

Simplex Grinnell fire alarm keeps setting off the alarm in the box, a really annoying beeeeeeeep! Not main alarm. When I push reset the fire department shows up. I warn them in advance but they still keep coming. I replaced the dead backup battery but it didn’t help.
Never mind, someone had unplugged the fax and phone line to it that was in another office., traced every wire and found it. Thank you.

Contact the manufacture sooner than later. There is a limit to the number of times the fd will show up and they may even start to fine you.

I know I’m hot, but not quite hot enough to set off a fire alarm. It seems that the steam from the shower gets out of the bathroom and causes the alarms to go off.
What can I do to fix this, aside from moving the alarms?

Find a paper cup the right size and slip if over the entire alarm head before you shower. Alarm sensors can’t tell the difference between steam and smoke.

Last year, in middle school a kid pulled the fire alarm. he got suspended and he went to court or something. Because he did that, could he be a cop in the future?

That act would not stop him from being a cop.

Four firefighters were discussing the number of fires they extinguished for the month of February. Rafael extinguished 25% fewer fires then Louis in February. William extinguished 50% more fires then Rafael. Albert extinguished 20% fewer fires then Rafael and William combined. If Louis extinguished 6 fires per week, how many fires did all four men extinguish during the entire month?

It is 105 – I will explain the rationale!
Assuming it is not a leap year.

Louis = 4 x 6 = 24
Rafael 24 x 75% = 18
William 18 x 150% = 27
Albert = 80% x (18+27) = 80% x 45 = 36

24+18+27+36 = 105

First off – I’d like to know why the immigrants would want to set the fires to keep warm? Has McCain been outside lately? Doesn’t he live in Arizona? Maybe he has been somewhere up north lately. We’re having record temperatures. 90 degrees C isn’t warm enough for Mexicans?
Awesome – No, it only feels like it’s cold because the temperatures drop. Maybe you should research. 70s are not cold.
You honestly think that the immigrants are setting fires to keep warm?

McCain is a RINO, you know…Republican In Name Only. That said, the premise of your question is wrong, they are not immigrants, they are ILLEGAL immigrants…sleeping outside much of the time when they are coming into this country ILLEGALLY. The fires could be cooking fires….

The information i got was the following: More than 30 sleeping rooms or lodgers in the building, more than 15 sleeping rooms loggers above the first floor and any number of rooms in a building over 75 feet in height.So my question is.. to be exact anything less than this you do not need an Fire Safety Director?

What on earth are you talking about and where on earth are you talking about?

We are organizing a Fire Safety event at work, and I need some ideas bad. Any suggestions? Thanks!

When I worked as a home health Nurse we gave our patients smoke detectors and batteries. Visit your local fie house. Many firemen do their jobs for free. They work two jobs. Call ahead and ask for a convient time. Be careful not to interfere with an emergency.
