I had a horrible experience with a garden fire which started when I was asleep. Ended up fine but I keep thinking about what would have happened if it had got into the roof. My roof is insulated with super glass but would this prevent a blaze?

Asked by CD over 4 years ago

Not quite sure what super glass is?

Have you ever took valuables out of a burning building before? I would assume objects isn’t a top priority even if it’s expensive or important but have you ever done it?

Asked by Fanny almost 5 years ago

Yes, during overhaul or if we have time to get things out but it depends on staffing. I currently operate a 1 man Engine and I cover approx 100 sq miles by myself with back up 20 miles away. So with that said my time is very limited to do alot of things, lol.

Have you ever been to a situation like this? https://youtu.be/q3sUYlkFvUU

I dont mind questions but there can be some silly ones that for sure.

What are irritating things the general public does to Firefighters that get annoying?

Parking in front of hydrant, fire lane and not moving to the right when we are responding top the lists.

Do you ever stop and help stranded motorists like the police sometimes do?

Yes, especially elderly or woman in distress for safety issues.

Do you work closely with the police

Asked by Barney almost 5 years ago

All of the time besides my sons being deputies. We rely on LE for assistance on many calls.
