Firefighter

My local church has recently conducted a fire drill during a service. They thought they did a good job but they obviously had no idea what they were doing? Are public institutions like this required to be knowledgable of proper fire safety procedures

Public institutions are required generally to conducted fire drills especially involving children which those are required by law to have monthly fire drills.

Are fire blankets truly safe to use on kitchen grease fires ?

If you are able to get close enough to the stove yes, but prevention is the best. Don't cook unattended. Keep a lid to cover over the pan to remove oxygen thus you can reach the controls to turn off the stove.

Why do Fire departments usually operate most of the area's ambulances? What was the idea behind that decision? Did they use to operate out of hospitals? Thanks.

Since there are not as many fires like in the past to keep your staffing levels departments also perform EMS services. by doing this it also brings revenue in. Some systems are still run out of hospitals or by a county or city. the idea of the fire dept is that we already have the ability for quick response but trained people so naturally it fit for many communities.

So there's this place and there are two doors that are meant for emergencies only. Apparently people used them anyway. To stop this, they put a sign that said Em. exit only but it looks like a "Do Not Enter Sign." (See other question for continuation

Is it often teens fall in love with firefighters? How would you deal with a young girl who's "crushing"

Never had it happen. But I must say that many of times a marriage can be ruined by getting to close and careers have ended for a few.
