Extinguishing a trash truck fire when the tire unexpectantly exploded 15 ft away

Hi I have some websties you might want to check out. These websites are sites that you can rant on, tell stories on
confess on, etc. It is really endless and you don't have to sign up (although you can) no charitor limit
and you just title it, put it into a catigory, then put some sort of name and it can be anything, then you put
in the capta code to make sure your human and done

Alot of Fire depts have explorer programs for teenagers to get them whAt they need to be a ff

I had an inquiry about standpipe regulations regarding the hoses themselves. I am an intern with the DEP in flushing, and I was assigned to find out who's responsibility it is to supply, upkeep and maintain the actual hose itself for a standard standpipe. 29 CFR 1915.507- Land-side fire protection systems section d (Fixed extinguishing systems) says that "The employer must select, install, maintain, inspect, and test all fixed systems required by OSHA as follows: 1915.507(d)(1) Standpipe and hose systems according to NFPA 14-2003 Standard for the Installation of Standpipe and Hose Systems (incorporated by reference, see § 1915.5)" Yet I have found NFPA regulations that state a hose must only be provided if the building posses and maintains its own fire brigade, yet that is an outdated practice. My intentions are trying to figure out whether or not we are legally required to preserve and maintain the hose itself, or if we can get rid of it. Specifically because of the extra upkeep and costs. I cannot find a specific NFPA or CFR code that specifies either which way, and would appreciate some direction!

If I had to guess unfortunately if you are considering a non-fire brigade status and rely on local resources you should not have to have the items listed, but this would be subject to your OSHA and NFPA. Have you spoken to them?

During a recent training fire I was told by a training officer to back the nozzle out when I exit the structure. I asked if this was something new we were trying and I was told no that it has been done this way forever. Thoughts??

Visual fire equals hose line in hand. Common sense
