Paul Hasenmeier posted a blog postLight Box Instructions - Where's The Training
Last night I was sent the picture below. Let me first say that this particular light is not on a fire apparatus.

Here’s what the label says if you can’t read it in the picture: #1 Push black release on bottom #2 Pull upward on flashlight. Check out the picture and think for a moment about training.

The scenario is a rare one, however, what if a school bus crash causes significant crumpling of the roof effectively trapping the driver and students that are towards the front of the bus. Here’s an option for school bus roof removal involving a coordinated effort with firefighters and a heavy wrecker.Involving heavy wreckers at our extrication scenes involves prior training for the coordination to work best in…See More
