Where firefighters come to talk training

Hump Day SOS OMAHA! OMAHA!

I can’t remember what I am supposed to do at a fire anymore. The acronyms keep coming and I don’t want to screw anything up so I’m going to suggest we use OMAHA just like Peyton Manning. If you get to a point where all the acronyms run together and you are about to panic just take a deep breath and call, “OMAHA! OMAHA!” This stands for Old Man Acronyms Help Always. This will be used similar to “Broken Arrow”. If you declare OMAHA! OMAHA! It means get a hose line in place and put the fire out before you run out of air, water and get yourself trapped! They will know what to do!
