Saturday morning, the FD and I hosted a training seminar for a couple of area FDs. This seminar included both classroom presentation and hands-on "live" burns. Now, in the interest of safety and to teach proper ventilation and extinguishing methods, the fires didn't really get that hot. This prompted a member from another FD to comment about it not being hot enough.
Mistake.
Big mistake.
Just for the record, not one was injured, but at least one fire helmet came out a little worse for wear.
But the good news is that we established a new level of camaraderie and trust amongst the various firefighters there. And when your life and the lives of others is on the line, that can be very, very important.

King of the understatement.
Never never tell a fire fighter its not hot enough. They will always remedy that! Burned my own helmat a time or two that way. You should him though! Good job!
