Firefighter minor mistake

[wolfriverjoe 1,354]

You would think that one of the first things they teach a firefighter is the difference between "Flammable" and "Not Flammable." And that putting a fire out should be done with something in the "Not Flammable" category.

Or maybe they don't.

Yes, it was a mechanical failure.

But it's still funny.

And it came from WWDTM. Man, I love that program.

Somebody got some 'splainin to do....

I seriously want to see the "Dear Cheif" letter on that one.

Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway... It really pisses him off.

Maybe it was labeled "Inflammable".

That's why they call it "training".

Maybe it was labeled "Inflammable".

Which reminds me of the George Carlin quip:

"Flammable, inflammable, and nonflammable. Why are there three?"

In reality we only have 2.

WRONG!!

There's only, 1) hold my beer, or 2) call the fire department.

Wait.

I'm sorry... that's a sequence of events.

Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

Meh, a couple years ago we had a small tree that ended up on fire during a party at the DZ. One of our skydivers came running with a bucket "I'll put it out!". Said bucket contained jet-A.

There used to be a picture at the bar of him staring at the tree/fireball in the background, empty bucket in hand

That tree grew back looking quite nice the next season!

Unfortunately a couple years later the picture was thrown away and the tree had to go too
