I have a small metal rack that fits right behind the steam pipe in my bathroom. My bathroom small and not a lot of wall space & want the rack hold nailpolish. Is this safe. Will steam pipe & nail polish pose a fire risk?

Asked by ANGELA almost 11 years ago

Not the smartest idea. Fingernail polish can be flammable. I would keep it in another location if you are hurting for the room.

I'm planning on going back to college currently I have a BS in Turf/Soil Science. What is the better option get another BS in Fire Science (I have 12 credits of) or a Masters in Emergency Management. I'm also enrolled to re-cert my expired EMT-B.

Asked by Brett about 10 years ago

Most deifinately the Masters in that it opens more doors since Emergency Management covers many areas, fire, ems, DHS, FEMA to list a few. Broadens your choices.
