if the horns are for water how do u know when its time to evacuate? just wondering

[mabas21]

Three rapid blasts is for water, four long blasts is for evacuation. Good question though, thanks for the comment

[kodythepimp01]

@mabas21 i thought three blasts are for evac... i thought that was an NFPA standard

[mabas21]

@kodythepimp01 Gary does 4 long solid blasts for evac and 3-4 rapid blasts for water. They don't do it by NFPA standards

The fire in the garage was really stubborn. And those firefighters on the roof looked like they were cutting it rather close! 

It looks like the firefighters did more damage to the house than the fire itself. I'm joking of course. Good job guys! Glad everyone was safe.

Just a couple of tips here, Big Fire Big water when you have a structure thats well involed pull a couple of 2.5s off the truck the 1 3/4 line aint going to do much, 2nd when you guys go up on the roof to do ventilation make sure you take an ax and sound the roof by tapping the roof to check for week spots, i hate hearing stories of fire fighters falling through roofs because they didn't check for weeks spots, Stay safe guys

@capthook17745

I agree if I had a solid water source and no victims my first line would have been would have been 2.5. Good job though keep knocknem down boys!!

[kodythepimp01]

just as long as all the mutual aid companies do the same thing i dont see a problem with it...

@kodythepimp01 you'll come to learn that NFPA stands for "Not For Practical Applications". lots of NFPA standards are pretty dumb if you look at it from the front lines.
