I was involved in the fire strike back in 1977, :lol: :lol: :lol:
Dunno what the last one was like, but it was amusing back then, training?
There's the fire, there's the hose, there's the valve! Good luck.
Most of us only got one days training, on the old goddesses, it was interesting to see if the fire went out before we got there in these old beasts :wink: :lol:

--- Quote from: "Sooty" ---All well and good comandeering the regular appliances but will they be trained on how to use the equipment?
With all due respect to our lads in the armed forces I can just imagine the mess a hand fisted squadie with a set of power croppers can make to a nice new BMW mini thingy :roll:

The ability to adapted to changing enviroments and rolls is a requirement of all service personnel.
