She probably hands Agonal Respiration’s which is basically dying breathes. There was obvious life ending injuries to call DOA. In hindsight after all details are out you probably wouldn’t start. But when in doubt try

I'm trying to decide between an ABC dry chem extinguisher or Purple K for my car. ABC could stop interior or grass fires but it supposedly causes serious corrosion issues after. Purple K doesn't but only works on liquids. Would you have any guidance?

Asked by Nick over 7 years ago

No brained ABC, cars are made up of so many materials. If your car catches fire it is usually toast anyway

If I were to join the military would it give me an advantage of being hired as a fireman?

Asked by Angel almost 7 years ago

Yes, Veterans preference but also maturity and discipline that can be lacking in those that have not served. My opinion is that all graduating high school students serve 2 yrs in the military like Isreali teens do.
