Lower Saucon, PA
Safety Officer with open coat & no gloves. What a joke of an example. He is obviously not trained or qualified. 2 white helmets on a hose line??? Who is in charge? If I was Chief in a neighboring dept I would never allow my people to help them or would I ever call them.
Livingston, NJ Fire
Can anyone tell me why the line was not advanced through the front or rear doors? Also, why is booster line being used?
Livingston Question was asked, “Where’s the #@$%’n Tools?” I believe the correct answer is “Back on the truck where YOU and the other 2 guys on the roof left them” 3 guys on a roof and none of you brought a tool=amateurs. Its always great FD PR to scream curses at a scene. Your department should also either buy more SCBA’s or get people interior trained. Booster line? Booster line? I hope I’m not repeating myself, Booster Line? I guess I would suggest your next truck committee just put 25 preconnected garden hose reels on your next truck, that way everybody would get the nozzle.
Someone needs to save the world from helmet cam videos like the one shot in Lake Charles, Louisiana. That’s nine minutes of my life I’ll never get back.
Pretting F’ing pitiful guys.
