this guy is the man, i dont care what anyone says. he did what was needed end of story.
yes, old school but with todays vehicles you better be wearing your airpack and all of your protective gear with the plastics and everything else in these cars, airbag gas cartridges, and magnesium, kind of silly in my opinion. Too true with the volunteers...they all try and rush to drive the firetruck and leave with only one person...its all fine until the you know what hits the fan
Airpack, for an outdoor fire? Maybe if he was going into a burning building... He's a volunteer and deserves our thanks. If you people can do better, feel free to volunteer for your local Fire Department and lead the way. Or do you only complain, offering nothing of substance?
Yes, he may not have all his PPE on, but it appears that he is the only one there. I am not saying what he did was right, but as a fellow firefighter with close to 23 years of service, believe that if any of us with any years on the job would agree is that we ALL have done things at one call or another that we did not do things "BY THE BOOK". This is just a sign of the times. Same towns to cover with fewer firefighters to do the job. So lets start giving a word of thanks to those who are still trying to serve their community other than trying to find faults. So with that said. Thank you to the Minot firefighter for serving his community.
Yup, facesheild up, no bunker pants or boots. Might be the only FF there. All the more reason to wear all your protective gear.
lets hope osha dosnt see this. Wheres his airpack?????
