New sprinkler senses fire's location, puts it out with less water
The Automist, which is installed on the walls of a home, only sprays water directly at a fire; it better protects homes from water damage.

Beau Adams Lol!! All I can say is that this dairy queen belongs to the father of one of our Driver/EMT firefighters.. The mechanic driving that engine changed his story multiple times. First saying the steering locked up to this. So very sad.

Steve Denny For what reason was the driver, a maintenance person, doing drinking coffee while driving the apparatus back? That is totally unacceptable. Fortunately there were no major injuries or fatalities.

Charlie Puckett Our uniforms look just like police officers. We have to constantly remind people that we are the fire department. In the Life Safety Initiatives this is one of those that can reduce firefighter injuries and death.

Christopher Walker
Christopher Walker Yes we have them but the question still remains. When to wear them,.. The firefighter that was shot was on scene of a basic run of the mill medical call. You never know when it may happen and we can't just wear a vest around all day like cops.

The hose at one point tangles itself in the firefighter's legs, causing him to fall to the ground. Watch the video here:

Angela Volk It's a training exercise. It's to show how NOT to catch a hose. We were doing pump testing when one of our nozzles broke and started flying everywhere, and one of our new ff's jumped on the hose and held it down till the water was turned off. And yes while someone can get hurt, it's still funny to see.

Christian Kehl If you think this is funny you definitely do not need to be training firefighters. It is only sheer luck that this FF was not hurt. We train like we work, not for comedic effect. The officers of this department need to rethink thier safety program as well as the training program if they think this is the way to do things. It is the job of officers and senior FF to protect and train new personnel correctly.

Jeannie Fiedler Is that in addition to their life ins? $80,000 is not much to help a family regroup and try to start a new way of life. It's not like you wake up the next day, jump out of bed and hit the highway running. You are in a stupor for months and months on end, trying
