More like, "Sir, I'd like you to speak with our overnight shift lead." As she bursts through the front door in a nightgown, let's out a bellowing warcry, then picks up the arsonist and slams them repeatedly into the burning stack of toilets paper, putting out the fire. "How's your almond milk now, motherfucker! You hosed my next shift."

That's some pro-level extinguisher use too. That probably saved the sprinklers from going off, saving all the merch in the store. Plus a fire in a public place where people don't know the exits can get real real bad easy.

Especially in the kindling department full of paper wrapped in plastic, conveniently next to the plastic bottles of cleaning supplies section. The aisles are pretty wide, but I bet the piles of paper towels could fall over and make things real interesting. I don't know what happens if you set fire to a plastic jug of Downy, but I bet it's awful.

The kind of person who buys almond milk would be the kind of person to set fire to a Wal-Mart. It's expensive, uses an unbelievable amount of resources to make, and doesn't even taste good. The thinking man's milk alternative is oat milk, which is made from a crop that is essentially a grass and cheap and water-efficient enough to use as animal feed, and it tastes more like real milk too.

I like how his first instinct after his rifle malfunctions and the magazine shoots out of the gun is to put another one in and try to keep going.

I mean, it looks like some militia training so if they're going for realism of any sort it would make sense to keep going even after your gun jams as you're mowing down people in the Walgreens parking lot for existing.

Probably had about a minute or so left before first sprinkler activation assuming it’s a newer building with QR heads.

B-Rock452 posted:It was a match so he didn't want to stop and check for a blockage because he was on the clock Yeah, he was completely in tunnel vision. Normally if your gun is failing to fire that many rounds, unless you're using questionable handloads, there's something seriously wrong with the gun and you need to stop and examine it. In this case he likely had a squib load (the cartridge barely detonated and the bullet is stuck in the barrel) and the next round to successfully fire exploded the mag straight out the bottom. Fortunately the explosion had also damaged the bolt badly enough that it wouldn't load a fresh round for him to blow up a second time.

But I've been trained & told that fire extinguishers are only there to be used to clear an exit path to escape, not to extinguish the fire itself. SpaceCadetBob posted:Yep, Pretty impressed with the response time, that fire looks barely 2 minute old.

Nobody is going to accuse you of any wrongdoing for trying to help, at least legally, but recognize that you're not dressed or equipped to put out a fire and your main responsibility as a human is to keep yourself alive and to help/not hinder others. Let the poo poo on the shelf burn, man. It's already gone.

Portables are definitely designed for full extinguishment of a fire. They are specifically sized and placed at certain intervals based on the hazard of the building. That’s a 10lber and barely any of the powder in it was used in that video. That size fire is the exact reason why portables exist, and the reason why there is a push to get them more universally reinstalled into buildings after two decades of them being taken out. Yes, when there is a fire you should immediately begin evacuating, which is why extinguishers are placed along exit paths. However, if the fire is small then turning back to extinguish it is definitely doable and can really end up saving lives. Relying on the sprinkler system to extinguish the fire is not a guarantee, and if you let the fire get past the incipient stage, and if the sprinkler system is impaired for some reason, then that small fire could easily kill someone who cant find an exit, and was never alerted to evac until it was to late.

Cojawfee posted:"Excuse me, there's a fire in the store" you're joking but i was working grocery stocking in almond milk which was right next to the paper products aisle at the beginning of the pandemic and when people couldn't get toilet paper they got progressively angrier to the point i think they would have tried to set my almond milks on fire. one lady asked four times in two hours getting progressively angrier each time i told her that was not my department and i had nothing to do with it and could not tell her when there would be any more.

That fire looked controllable and it clearly hadn't been going long. They probably evacuated that store anyways, but thanks to that employee they got to do it with the lights on and air that everyone could breathe.

Fire extinguishers are for putting out manageable fires while you still have an escape path. If at any point it seems unmanageable or your escape path is even vaguely threatened you get out and summon and wait for the people with equipment that will make it manageable without being in a threatening location.

zedprime posted:Cue wilhelm scream. If you need a fire extinguisher to clear an exit path you are already dead. Your energy is better spent finding another path or making a last ditch shelter in place. Sure, just do it on the last day of senior year so now that they know exactly how much powder they discharge they don’t get access back into the building with said knowledge.
