Can a windshield from a car or truck splinter so bad that the glass would be as fine as sand and get embedded in you're hands

Asked by strangler59@aol.com over 10 years ago

Yes it can which is why we wear glovewhile operating at car wrecks.

I work in a small office that is attached to a garage by an interior door. The garage is used to repair heavy equipment (Loaders, Back Hoe, Dozers) as well as gravel trucks. Should I have a C O sensor in the office?

Yes a CO detector should be in place based on the usage of the diesel engines etc.

Asked by Paula over 10 years ago

Volunteer with a Dept. but make yourself more valuable by getting your EMT Certification since that is where the majority of our work comes from. It takes longer to teach a person to perform EMS than firefighting. So that gives you a heads up against others. I don't know how your feel about the military but they do have firefighters that you can enlist for.

I had a small fire in my gas stove, now there's fire extinguisher powder everywhere. It got down into the cracks where I can't reach. Will my oven be okay to use? Any tips on cleaning it? Thanks!

Vacuum is your best option, do not use until properly cleaned.

What does shift night mean in relation to vol. firefighters

Asked by ... almost 10 years ago

Usually volunteers have to pull some duty to ensure that there are people to respond. A neighboring volunteer fire dept has their volunteers pull a night shift from 8 pm to 6 am at least once a month. So this is probably what you are refering to.

I live in a 2 story home and I'm concerned about getting stuck on the 2nd floor in the event of a fire. Can you recommend a good escape ladder? I'm looking for one I can practice on. Most of the ladders I'm finding say that they are a 1 time use.

Asked by Crystal over 9 years ago

i would be skeptical of a ladder that says one time use since it is recommended to occassional practice. I have never heard of a one time use ladder.
