Chat Thread- Mako and Mt Olive Dipping Vibes

[wakephan09]

Why has no one thought of fire-fighting drones yet? I'm literally right now the first one to think of that. Someone take my idea and go do that.

Has anyone yet thought just to direct some clouds over the fire?

 

[wakephan09]

seems like we can solve alot of problems if we just master rain creation

damn, plama already thought of it

TOO LATE

This is what the drones are for. C'mon guys.

I think maybe the reason we keep losing big games is y’all are like “my actions don’t impact the game.” WRONG

Well if it makes you feel better I do happen to be wearing the same sweatshirt that I was wearing Saturday during the UL blowout. And no that is not a coincidence. Just in case.

That's why I post here, I am expert

Water is heavy

Nah, water go up.

The Paw Patrol movie has taught me that weather machines are bad. What you need are fire trucks driven by dogs.

so it turns out i just didn't understand what you were talking about.

Clearly not an expert.

I think you can change your username and all the other info about the account stays the same

Once I started working with E list celebrities, I had to conceal my identity a little better ala Knight

You can only request a name change. We mods must approve it and change it.

Is Biff being a mod gag going the way of hide your keys and Bud get out of town, people are asking.

@tsywake is this true re: size? This account is very much of the mindset of more transit, more dense housing, etc but I was unfamiliar with this taek.

Huge fire rigs are not super efficient; ~5 percent of calls actually require the fire fighting component of the rig's capabilities. Well-appointed Tahoes (or other big trucks) can also be super effective in responding to lower-acuity calls and can amplify a departments ability to respond to call volume (because 2-3 people in a truck can respond instead of a crew of 6 in an engine). That said, where there often ends up being a lot of pushback is from the political side - nobody wants to be the person who takes a fire truck off the line, potentially increasing response times to the areas serviced by that station. For smaller jurisdictions, they also may not have that flexibility in the vehicles because each incremental rig is that much more important. It's a lot easier to swap to other options when your n+1 is going from 20 to 21, as opposed to a smaller town talking about 1 or 2 engines.

Agree with LBE, we are stuck in a cowboy mentality with the fire service. We'd be much better suited to have trucks similar to Europe and Asia. Same with the gear. My helmet weighs 12 lbs, but looks badass. The futuristic euro helmets weigh significantly less and offer the same protection.

In the past decade, our dept has purchased a F350 with a camper shell. It runs our medical calls, which are 80% of our run volume. It's our most used piece of apparatus.

But then again, have you ever seen an article talking about tailgating on a euro rig?
