As a FireFighter myself all I can say to the "Friend" comment above is that it is good that everyone from the family involved is safe.
Your order of priority when dealing with any situation on the job is simple.
1. Your fellow FireFighters.
2. All other people.
3. Property.
People have accidents. Accidents do NOT have people.
You would not believe the number of times I have arrived back at the station shaking my head at "Sublime Stupidity."
Eg. A Maroon spots a rat in his garage, grabs a can of cigarette lighter fuel, sprays it on rat and lights a match.
Burning rat runs under house, destroying $ 750,000.00 house.
Who was dumb, the human or the rat?
