Firefighter here. I will walk into a burning building if I'm wearing bunker gear, breathing from a working SCBA, carrying a Halligan or axe so I can chop my way back out if I have to, and my buddy is with me carrying a hose squirting water. Lots of water. Said hose must be attached to a BRT (big red truck) on the other end so that when I can't see shit and my air alarm starts beeping we can crawl along by feeling said hose and follow it back out to safety.
Most important, I must have a reasonable suspicion that there are lives inside that might be savable.
Without all that, screw it. That building gets to burn.
- effingwewt 3y agoReally appreciate the work you do and the dangers you risk. o7
- FireBeyond 3y ago> crawl along by feeling said hose Smooth bump bump, back to the pump! But yep, absolutely. We will risk a lot, in a calculated manner, for savable life. And I will not send my guys interior on a confirmed empty defensive fire.
