    Thanks for joining CSF (Common Sense Firefighting) It's about decision making on the fire ground. I see you are working on a hevy rescue squad. I spent a few years on one here in Chgo FD too

    "My knuckle dragging brethren (like Scotty K) . . ."

    Feel the love! Your reputation precedes you I see!

    Your comments about PPV & PPA are good. Of course, anything done incorrectly or without understanding the theory AND science is dangerous. INCLUDING vertical ventilation! Gravity has a way of reinforcing that one.

    Cheers!

    Hey Scotty

    I would love any information you have on the "can" fires. We just bought some this last year, but none of the guys what they can do with them.
