Description: Western Propane Gass Association training Mendocino County (CA) firefighters on how to handle a burning propane tank. Do not attempt to stop a propane fire with a hose or extinguisher- call 911 immediately and tell the dispatcher if the tank is venting (blowing flame in the air or away from the tank).

tonedeftony ::: Favorites Thanks- Yeah, our coast departments are very good at what they do- they can roll up to something like this, establish command, get everyone on the same plan and have the situation under control in a couple minutes. 07-05-24 11:16:42 _____________________________________________________

bib57 ::: Favorites No SCBA protection? The water not trapping the fire....the simple air entrainment is pushing the fire away. That fire could very easily slip through the "protective" fog pattern and burn the attack teams. Train like you fight! Wear full PPE. 07-07-18 07:47:13 _____________________________________________________

tonedeftony ::: Favorites I watched them do this probably 60 times and not once did the fire "easily slip through the protective fog." BTW- I am a reporter, not a firefighter, I simply posted this because I thought it was imporessive. At every other training I have covered, they use the full apparatus, but the WPGA trainers (who do this all the time) didn't recomend SCBA... 07-07-18 09:00:47 _____________________________________________________
bib57 ::: Favorites Good. They'll probably get away with another 60 attacks. It just takes one bad day. I've seen those bad days. Wearing PPE around any fire? Then wear the SCBA. 07-07-19 09:07:07 _____________________________________________________
