Man I aint had no low boil in years but I think I will remedy that this weekend and I have never met a nanner puddin I couldn't make friedsa with. Some great lookin sprinklers you got there. E-Ones huh. You guys are livin large with that kind of power. I inheireted a 53 Reo duce that was full military, wouldn't stop and the La France 150 pump wpuldn't pump but about 35 because it was full of mud and rust and had WW2 type packings in it. There was also a 68 Chevy stubby type pumper and a 53 Dodge carryall. Working with the community board, the Alabama Fire Chiefs Assn. and the state we got some roads paved and some tax money for volunteer fire stations in the state. We went from savin septic tanks and chimenys to a well trained and equiped team of fire fighters. They now have new pumpers and tankers and all the newest gear. They scare the hell outa me like kids with a loaded gun. Me and my bro have a 275' deep well with an 24" casing that we are putting  four  6" pumps in so at least we will be ok. < Message edited by capsoda -- 9/20/2007 11:52:09 PM > _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ (in reply to logueb) Post #: 147

RE: Took the Long Way Home Today - 9/21/2007 10:46:33 AM    logueb   Posts: 1380 Joined: 1/6/2007 Status: offline Thought you would like the Fire Dept stuff Cap.  911 was areal eye-opener for a lot of people.  We struggled for years with outdated equipment, pumpers that may or may not pump, not enough bunker gear to go around, very few SCBAs , etc. I remember the days of "well at least you saved the chimneys and steps".  I pulled down a chimney with a pike pole one night. I told the crew "you didn't save anything else and I'm not going to leave the chimney standing".  The grants and money from local and state agencies has been  a blessing for the fire departments across America. Fire departments had been on the back burner of budgets for many years.  I just hope that the funding continues and just doesn't dry up. Do you see anything unusual in this photo of the old Baptist parsonage?  Looks like you typical toc two story wood frame house , right?

No ladder trucks in this town. Attachment (1) _____________________________ Buster Bottle Bug Bit with no cure in sight. (in reply to logueb) Post #: 149

RE: Took the Long Way Home Today - 9/21/2007 11:01:53 AM    logueb   Posts: 1380 Joined: 1/6/2007 Status: offline Possible gas leak explosion in the kitchen area.  Lady who owned the house was in the front part of the house when the explosion occured.  Sometimes you just get lucky.  The kitchen and small bed room above it were an add-on to the original structure, so the original outside wall helped serve as a firewall.  Still, 4 hours in 100 degree weather is tough.  Training, training, and more training.  there is never enough training.  Interior attack through the front to push the fire back through the kitchen and keep it out of the main structure.  However, I always stress safety and I never send firemen into a building that I wouldn't go in.  Yes, I suited up and helped on this one. We could not have saved this one with the outdated equipment we had before 911. Attachment (1) _____________________________ Buster Bottle Bug Bit with no cure in sight.

You guys did good saving it at all. Good work. _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ (in reply to logueb) Post #: 151

RE: Took the Long Way Home Today - 9/22/2007 8:49:01 AM    logueb   Posts: 1380 Joined: 1/6/2007 Status: offline Thanks Cap, That small room above the kitchen was being used as a walk in closet.  Luckily the door was closed slowing the migration of the fire into other rooms of the main structure.  The top half of the door burned off, allowing all of that super heated smoke to fill the main part of the structure. I went upstairs to determine if fire had entered the attic , with luck it had not. I don't know the temperature in that second story, several hundred degrees I imagine. A couple of the  firemen had to be rehydrated, even though we were rotating resources. _____________________________ Buster Bottle Bug Bit with no cure in sight.
