Aramoro posted:If we're against giving out actively dangerous advice then you fight this fire by immediately leaving the area and calling the fire brigade. If you are comfortable fighting fires, always remember: Never fight a fire without clear egress Never fight fire you can't approach because of heat or smoke Understand the rating of the size of your extinguishers and the size of fire they are expected to put out. Never fight a fire you can't put out because this is valuable time your egress might be disappearing or that you could spend getting someone who has enough tools to definitely put it out. There's no good reason you can't just leave and get a pro. Pull Aim Squeeze Sweep. Aim at the heat source, not the flames. If you can't aim at the heat source because you're not sure where its at or you can't get close enough for heat or smoke nows a good time to remind yourself of the points above and gtfo

One of those assholes ran out from his protective bushes just to make sure I knew he was an rear end in a top hat. I narrowly missed getting bit as I jumped through another set of bushes to escape. I hate those fuckers too. Perhaps you'll like this sequence of photos that I posted quite a while ago in this very thread. wesleywillis posted:I was going to post this in the Cursed images thread, but then I was kinda like "gently caress geese I hate them fuckers".

A lake park near me has a ton of the bastards and they have people addling the eggs in the spring to try to cut down on the numbers but there are still a lot. Especially dangerous because there are a couple of blind corners where you can walk right into a gang of them if you are unsuspecting!

Yeah they have an arbitrary distance that will set them off and they will chase you. It hasn’t happened to me but it’s pretty common around here. You do not need to try to provoke them, they are miserable fuckers. They even get into gang wars with groups of geese attacking other groups and it is brutal, that I have seen and it was intense!

zedprime posted:That's actually a good point, never fight a fire you are scared of. You're allowed to be scared of any fire you want, no one should judge. At work we have to do mandatory fire extinguisher training every couple of years. The bulk of the course is drumming in to your head to get away and call the fire brigade. Only attempt to fight the fire if you need to to either get out or assist someone else getting out.

When I was getting ready to join the air force, some old guy was telling me a story from his time in. He was the fire monitor in basic training and was told that, if there was a fire, the water extinguishers they had would be useless and that he should just open the valve, roll them down the bay and just leave.

Uncle Enzo posted:Homie, you seem to know a lot about firefighting, but if you hit hardened steel with hardened steel, it absolutely loving will send shards flying. I have picked them out of my neck. The "absolute hardest alloys" you reference are "anything other than very mild, non heat treated, and stainless steel". It should be pretty easy to find a video that demonstrates this someone striking a steel tool with a hammer and chips flying out then shouldn't it? Because I can't find anything. I've been using hand tools nearly my entire life, and the only time I've seen metal chips fly off is improperly striking chromed tools. zedprime posted:You fight this fire with a pan lid, metal trashcan lid, the kid's Red Flyer etc. or a small B rated extinguisher. Talking about fogger nozzles looking at this fire is firefighter wank. I was just pointing out that you can use water to fight a grease fire, if you're properly equipped.

Only attempt to fight the fire if you need to to either get out or assist someone else getting out. But if you're taking the don't fight fires approach I'm having trouble thinking of situations where you're not also going to always die if you are a never-fire-fighter and you try fighting a fire between you and an egress path. You effort is better spent on creative egressing or trying to shelter in place like trying to barricade in an exterior room with piss soaked clothes as a door stop. That's why hotel rooms have those shelter in place instructions instead of lining the walls with extinguishers. You should never have to fight fires if its not your job. That's a great benefit of living in society. But fires are also a social problem so the more people equipped to handle small manageable fires is good for society too. I believe everyone should have and know how to use a common cabinet-meant kitchen extinguisher. If you're reading the Something Awful safety thread and have half an interest in making the world slightly safer for your knowledge, you should take one of those day long fire fighting for beginners safety courses where they take you out to a field to recognize different fire sizes, what rating extinguisher can manage them, then let you go wild with the common AB, ABC, and water extinguishers.

Eh, that's true enough if you define it to that level. E: zedprime posted:The fire was a small smoldering puddle by the time the hose came out. A fogger nozzle would soak that room top to bottom near instantly instead of pushing the smoldering, nearly out grease fire into the flammable shelves. That's a garden hose simulating why you don't put out even smoldering grease fires with a garden hose. I thought I missed this because I watched the video on my phone, but I didn't, that's clearly a 1 ½" hose with a firefighting nozzle on it, being operated by a firefighter (the first frame of the video has the guy in turn-out gear) they don't use any of the other methods of extinguishing the fire sitting around because they're firefighters putting on a demonstration about fryer safety. And that fire was put out with that hose, a fryer full of oil produces a tremendous amount of heat and fire, here's video of a fryer on fire that's not being combated, notice that it goes on for several minutes. https://youtu.be/pb_qExtN084 Video is good thread content too, hopefully it somewhat makes up for my shitposting.

I've been using hand tools nearly my entire life, and the only time I've seen metal chips fly off is improperly striking chromed tools. I have definitely sent steel chips flying out of chisels hitting them with hammers. I do a lot of hitting metal poo poo with hammers and it happens often enough that whenever you use a hammer for anything you should be using eye protection. This happens all the time if you chisel through a weld. Source4Leko fucked around with this message at 23:35 on Nov 21, 2020 |

He was not wearing safety glasses and felt something strike his right eye. This was followed by tearing and blurred vision. He continued working for a few hours, but when the vision and tearing did not improve he went to a local emergency room. He was diagnosed with a corneal abrasion and sent home on topical antibiotics. An appointment with a local ophthalmologist was made for the following morning where his vision was found to be hand motions, a traumatic cataract had developed, and there was suspicion of an intraocular foreign body (IOFB). He was then referred emergently to the University of Iowa Ophthalmology On Call Service... https://eyewiki.aao.org/Intraocular_Foreign_Bodies_(IOFB) quote:Intraocular foreign bodies are seen in 17%-40% of penetrating ocular injuries and represents 3% of all emergency room visits in the United States. Risk factors including metal-on-metal tasks, lack of eye protection, or male gender. FWIW, I grew up in a house heated by wood stoves, and summers were long hot months of splitting wood.
