@RWB_American The guys I talked to didn’t make anywhere near that much. Met a couple gulf coast oil rig divers who were happy making $100K a year. Good, steady but dangerous work.

@apexguardhq Under “Debris Screen” grab a fire extinguisher. The dry powder can make an extremely good smoke screen. Most extinguishers in commercial buildings have enough powdered agent for multiple uses. When it’s empty you have a big club for defense or a battering ram.

@engineers_feed A Mylar balloon by the bed will trick the Thermostat into believing someone is in the room. You can have to room a freezer or oven when you get back…

Prayers for all those on the front line in DC. Be vigilant!

@dcfireems But that’s the Driver’s seat.

11 Special Operations Division members have graduated from the very first Rescue School Class. This class and more to come will help to further refine the skills required for this highly specialized team, who must be proficient in a number of technical rescue disciplines.

@doyle0213 @BaltimoreFire Fucking Terrible. God Bless their families and the Baltimore Fire Department family.

@JackCarrUSA Hard to believe that Iron Eagle and Top Gun came out the same year. Both great in their own rights.

27 years ago today. May #DCFD Brother and Sergeant John Carter's memory be eternal. Say a prayer for his family and his soul. Spend 15 minutes to learn more about John and his family by watching this video. https://t.co/gzQusA85Mm

@HighRiseUnit Also look for peep holes in the middle of the door instead of at 5’ high. Indicates someone in a wheelchair.

@SpecWarAirmen When his wife saw the parachute and raft in the online shopping cart….”Seriously?!? You’re gonna use that like all that food and other crap you have stashed in the basement.”

@iluminatibot Petrogen torch. Those cuts are at the bottom, made weeks after the towers fell. They cut columns and lifted them out as they dug down through the debris pile.

[Tim Dowd @firemandowd]

@DPSSandman I remember a run dispatched for an AFA. Enroute they filled the box. The chief got on scene and asked for an update. “Engine 9 to the chief we had a room off and have it knocked down we can hold it 1 & 1”. “Chief 6 to Communications, Give me the 2nd alarm” Never know from inside.

@HighRiseUnit Add an audible component so you can orient when smoke is thick and obscures the light.

@TheCrashlander Do you have a source on the 281 dust incidents? I would like to get more info on how many are agricultural vs industrial.

[Tim Dowd @firemandowd]

@IlowiteJason The answer to the question is more testing! Every situation is different. If you had less pull out at the forks that’s awesome. We have some acquired structures we will have to run more evolutions through. Now I am wondering about sliding the forks under carpet like a pocket? 🤔
