[quote name='AS702' post='127371' date='Jul 9 2007, 00:28 ']For a Lt., he sure is missing a lot of PPE...[/quote]
Why? He's upwind, and I'd be willing to say he's seen more than one. Last car fire I put out, I didn't even have a piece of fire apparatus, just my extinguisher off the ambulance and my uniform. Plus, every car fire I've ever shot was from about the same distance, but with absolutely nothing more than my camera, are you going to criticize me, a person who isn't even a firefighter for being too close without PPE? Tell me I should go out, buy my own bunker gear and SCBA if I'm going to be that close? It pisses me off to no end when people criticize the PPE on car fires, and I'm making a public statement that any more of it in this thread, or any other for that matter, will not be tolerated.
