Kingston,Mi | Our instructor ask during Firefighter 1 "what is the correct procedure when you find a car wedged under a propane tank and the scene is on fire and you don't know when the fire started?", several future firefighters wanted to rush in with hoses blasting and rescue the occupants. Since the scenario is an auto/truck accident, the likely position of the tank is inline with your approach and when the tank BLEVE's, the domed end will separate and head down range rapidly. His response was back off and get out the binoculars to assess the scene, he also recommended running shoes to escape with. | |
