Subject: Do As I Say And Not As I Do?

I couldn't help laughing when I read this morning. I know I shouldn't have, but I thought it was funny.
You would think these guys would know better.

:D! I used to date a guy who lived in Summit, New York and they dubbed their volunteer fire department "The Summit Cellar Savers" because that's all that would be left of your house if they were in charge of putting out your fire!

LOL This happened on an episode of King of the Hill but I never though it could happen for real... I mean even volunteer firefighters have to have some training right?

Yes they need training. The only people stupid enough to run into burning buildings without training are the ones who would leave cigarettes burning...hey, wait a minute... ;)

We became more than a little worried when we realised that the firefighters are all volunteers. Especially when we saw them in action at a local fair! They set up a demonstration of putting out cooking fires. FIrst time they couldn't keep the fires lit while they explained what would happen. Then it took four attempts to put out a stove top fire and three goes at the oven fire! They then demonstrated the 'jaws of life' in action on a car crash. But they had to explain why they couldn't just remove the door (as they had said) but had to totally wreck the car!

I have a lot of respect for firefighters-especially the volunteers. But, yeah, as snozberries said, they do need more training.
