Firefighter pearls of wisdom

1. "Hey kid, never eat more than your SCBA mask can hold!"

2. "Haz-Mat Awareness is easy, if the guys wearing blue and/ or brown are up and walking around the scene, it is safe. If they are laying down taking a nap, not so much....." Also known as the Brown and Blue method of Haz-Mat..........

3. "Sucking smoke doesn't make you tough, it just makes you dead faster."

4. Never remind your Academy Instructors how young you are or how old they are, it tends to lead to "GO"drills.........(GO drills around here are PPE donning speed drills)

5. Murphy is EVERYWHERE

  1. Re: #2... Up here in Maine, it's referred to as the "blue canary" theory. Also, there is the rule of thumb: if your thumb can't cover the placard from where you are, you're too close.
