NO wonder China has such a low crime rate.... Maybe we should take the hint
I agree, Awesome post. And for anyone who doesn't believe in rehab, go to everyonegoeshome.com and look at the listed LoDDs and the listed reasons... over 80% were avoidable and due to pride drivin lack of knowing when enough is enough
We don't do this to be heroes. Yes, we make "heroic efforts" but it's our job. We help people in their times of need and (most) don't do it for the glory. If that's the reason you chose this field, you may want to do more soul searching. That asid...
Mine would have to be my very first day in training. They taught me the basics of catching a hydrant, so, i jump off the truck, grab the wrench and the line and take off for the hydrant.. running full speed, eyes on the prize..... run smack into a...
We don't have such a requirement. They are pressure tested to around 300% of the working pressure when they're installed, but not after that.
We have only had a problem with the underground tanks one time that I know of.
It was a tank that was ap...
With the underground installation Ben, do you have a requirement for these tanks to be pressure tested on a regular basis?
My jurisdiction mandates underground installations for LP gas tanks in residential locations in order to prevent exactly what you described. It makes protecting them easy during a wildland interface fire - you just shovel dirt over the dome.

Hey Michelle I lived through an LPG bleve in 1998 I was first Due Engine to a reported house fire approx. 4 miles out of town. what had happened was due to rising price of gas the home owner had local gas co. install extra tanks to go over the win...

We see some of these in fleets as well but they are CNG. The WI state University system uses a lot of CNG and there are some PD's in smaller communities that have duel fuel cars. CNG and gasoline.
I have to say it's probably a little of both. Rookies get all the crap work to start with and of course, guys give girls crap anyway. It's one of the perks. Me ,personally, it makes down time fun. I can give just as good as they can. But once you ...
Thanks Michelle, I was confused, I thought there may have been a mistype of Michael (Vito).
Cap,
An "empty" LPG tank (actually a tank with vapor residue, as Scott pointed out) will BLEVE more quickly than a "full" LPG tank. Most BLEVEs occur one of two ways;
1) Fire impinges on unprotected steel over the vapor space and the steel fails...

Of course I always drive safely and utilize Due Regard. That's why I didn't just hop in front of the cars hoping that they would stop for me. It just irks me that people are either A.) THAT oblivious when operating a motor vehicle, or B.) That unc...
The incident hindered my response by a minute or so which could make all of the difference. In this instance - no, I still made the rig (it was an EMS call). However, the "What If" factor plays a key role - the other drivers passing me didn't know...
This is true. It's personally happened to me, I've heard horror stories about it, and someone I work with has even stated that she purposely does this as well. However, if it were her house on fire, or her husband and/or children that needed help,...
