I have been on the largest ships in the Carnival fleet and have been on their smaller ships too. I prefer the smaller ones by far!Magic ManWed, 30 Jan 2008 23:12:48 -0000http://firegeezer.disqus.com/innovations_in_fire_extinguisher_design/#comment-20151714It looks like you could play marbles to put the fire out too. I have had to use an extinguisher several times and have never had any problems with a good old fashioned dry-chem.Magic ManWed, 30 Jan 2008 23:08:25 -0000http://firegeezer.disqus.com/ambulance_vehicle_locators_embraced/#comment-20151738There is a service that uses this same technology near my house. It really has improved response times dramatically. There were times that you used to see two squads pass each other in opposite directions while heading to calls code 3. This always looked dumb. A relative of mine said it was because they alternated calls or crews lied about their location because they were out of district without permission. This setup ended that circus.Magic ManSat, 02 Feb 2008 22:05:06 -0000http://firegeezer.disqus.com/car_smashes_into_firehouse/#comment-20151739Boy that would have been a shame had they hit that beauty! What a treasure to have in the firehouse!!! I am glad that nobody was injured.Magic ManSat, 02 Feb 2008 22:01:36 -0000
