We evacuated safely at 3:30 this morning. If you are in an evacuation zone, don’t screw around. Get out. Right now I am grateful for the best firefighters in the world, the true action heroes who charge into the danger to protect their fellow Californians. #GettyFire

Inspiration from Instructor Baxa & from Lloyd Layman: In the 1950’s they understood that ordinary combustibles begin to burn at 300 Degrees Fahrenheit; why is it that in 2019 certain TIC manufacturers choose not to show any colorization until 500, 572, or 1000 degrees Fahrenheit? – at Shelby, NC

If you're not curious, I'm not sure if there is much others can do to help you.
But if you're eager to learn, even if you aren't particularly talented, then so much is possible.

Winter #firefighting tip, always carry a spray bottle of pure antifreeze on the engine during winter time. At a fire earlier people said the couplings had frozen & they couldn’t uncouple them to pack lines back. Few sprays of antifreeze came right apart #firefighter #protip
