i hate popping hoods i always look like an idiot that is definatly my weak point on the jobl

Maybe it was one of those..."You do what you think you should do" and they let you do it until you realize...OOPS...My chief did it all the time. During basic one night he had us looking for a "reducer" for a good 25 minutes...needless to say...we felt retarded after he walked near it saying "sometimes items are already in use on the truck"...lesson learned. Never will forget!

Why wasn't she shown how, instead of left to look dumb on video?

i think the point is that she shouldn;t be a firefighter

@jflo411 well of course the hood still needs to be open, but this will give them a place to put the water while they try to get the hood open. its actually a very quick easy way to give them enough room to put the nozzel.

that would make a realy good giant bottle opener!

@jflo411 It always seems that the first thing to burn/melt is the hood release cable. But, then, car fires is why God made the piercing nozzel.
Who ever is teaching this "technique" is a fool. I can think of five better ways to open the hood of a car. This is what happens when your officers spend more time reading about being a firemen then actually doing it.

Women absolutely have their place on an engine. I wouldn't send a 6'5 280 pound guy into a confined space, just as much as I wouldn't send a 5'0 100 lbs woman in to rescue a 400 pound grandma. Each firefighter has strengths and weaknesses and it's up to the officer to be an effective judge of who is best for each task.
