Police in Thailand say that a fire extinguisher exploded in sweltering heat during an outdoor fire drill at a high school in Bangkok on Friday, killing one student and injuring five others.
Rather than fighting wildfires in the traditional way — using aircraft to drop chemical retardants on the blaze while ground crews clear brush that could be potential fuel — the Air Force should try to bomb it.
A raging fire, and in this case, a planned demonstration, shows how a new device known as an FST, a fire suppression tool, can knock down a fire in seconds.
A bomb containing an explosive and a fire extinguishing chemical so that the bomb can be exploded within a fire and extinguish the fire flames; the bomb including a glass cylinder that can be readily fragmented so to disperse its chemical content into all directions and the glass cylinder havi…
When a wildfire breaks out, early detection is key in stopping it from spreading. Now, drones may be the latest technology that helps detect wildland blazes as soon as they break out.
As wildfires continue to rage across Canada, April Reese reports on a new firefighting drone in Portugal which aims to douse blazes with water before they turn into megafires.
Yeah, one good thing is that they mean your TV can take pride of place above the old mantlepiece while the fire moves to behind the sofa. The family hearth died a while back.

“I honestly feel that if the programs go away, you’re going to have a whole lot of people going back to their bad ways,” a former inmate firefighter said.
This is a great idea. It has worked well in California, where they need firefighters most – due to their naive choice of location of a large settlement.
You’ve seen it, people illegally parking in front of fire hydrants for easy access, but firefighters are teaching these inconsiderate parkers that this is a matter of life and death and if that means some vehicle damage so be it!
Payments to clear DMV Registration holds for parking tickets can be made at the DMV or at the Parking and Commuter Services office. Proof of payment for the ticket(s) can be generated from either office to clear the holds at the other office.
I don’t think there needs to be a symbol, let them take it. However, don’t pay them to make each other big meals and have ping-pong contests while everyone else is working for a living. Just say’n

I like the idea of paramedic camps, not so much those that turn normal kids into cops though. Why? Same as the existing problem of recruiting cops, it attracts exactly the wrong type of person we need.

Michael Pollitt: Thanks to research by Dr Tong Sun at City University London, a future generation of detectors may be able to distinguish overdone toast from a burning hearth rug
What would it take for other towns to do the same, Lewes has its history but Guy Fawkes has fans around the nation – and only a few of them realise it was a set-up job by the ruling protestants, to vilify Catholics – I mean, they hired out the rooms under parliament and then caught him just as he was about to light the powder – pull the other one.

This could be an excellent solution when dealing with wildfires.
Police and civilians can use these in emergencies to put out fires quickly!
Someone already has a patent for this idea!
https://patents.google.com/patent/US3980139A/en
It could be a great way to protect firefighters from harm when dealing with raging fires.
Drones with smoke detection sensors can also detect fires, especially wildfires before they break out.
How about these drones that find people trapped in fires?

Maybe – or maybe CF just got away without paying for professional firefighers – who are now looking for work!

I know a fireman. He sent me this video ages ago. They love it REALLY!
It’s a thing!

To be honest $80 isn’t high enough if you put someone’s life at risk. Good on the fire dept! Here are the prices where I live.

Just added the video as a link so it shows – great video and idea, thanks.
Lol, heres a link to some selfish git on Quora that wants to stop firemen from “stealing” pool water. FACEPALM.
