Tactical Fire Problem – Tractor Trailer

This week the Tactical Fire Problem is a tractor trailer fire with a diesel leak feeding a ground fire.

1.) What is your initial action?

2.) Do you carry class B foam? What is your deployment time for an inline eductor?

3.) How much fuel will a saddle tank hold on a tractor trailer?

4.) What is the possibility that water and agent will add volume that will cause fire to run under other equipment or exposures?

5.) What equipment and resources are at your disposal that could help this situation?

Firefighting Today Weekly Roundtable – Ask the Chief or Ask The Panel

This Sunday evening January 10, 2016 at 8;00 PM Eastern time we will be resuming the Firefighting Today Weekly Roundtable. We will be using Zoom.us instead of Google Hangouts. this will allow for more panel participants and even folks joining by phone. This will be an experiment of the technology so I encourage you to join us if you like. You won’t have to leave twitter comments you can just join in. If you would like to join us send an email at pete@petelamb.com and I will send you the invite. regular panel members can expect the invite at 7:45 PM as usual. Also pay attention to the Twitter stream of @petelamb.

The session will be recorded and then posted to the Firefighting Today Page for the archives and the Youtube channel.
