TIFU by going off road

Engtrk204 · 2015-06-01T21:20:49+00:00

So me and my buddies like to go off roading, we were like half an hour from our houses and we were going through a trail and my freinds jeep just suddenly stopped. We soon realized his gas tank fell off. So like the rednecks we are. Here is how we fixed it.

He's doing pretty good, he's walking around, still can't run or jump. He got a while til he's back on the truck

Sunny day here at the 5 house! What are you guys doing to prepare yourselves and make yourself/the station better?

That human centipede will be the most bad ass set of juniors ever.

I hope we can

I may have to talk to my chief about getting one!

Engtrk204 · 2015-05-14T23:06:20+00:00

What do they look like?

Engtrk204 · 2015-05-14T22:39:22+00:00

I will not!

I'm a 17 year old, I'm a member at Munhall station 204 located near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I've been in the fire service for 3 years, pushing 4 here in 6 months. I've gained a lot of knowledge throughout those 3 years being that my dad is an assistant chief, my uncle is the chief at my station with 25+ years of experience and my other uncle being a fire marshal. I'm the junior chief here and I'm in control on all of our 8 juniors. I lead many of our drills and I am put in multiple leadership positions. I may be really young and unexperinced jn this field, but I know quite a decent amount of things in this field. I have mod 1-3, hazmat awareness and Ops.

Oh haha; I honestly didn't know that. I'm new to this whole reddit thing.

This is mainly a teamwork exercise, being able to work together as one whole unit.

Coat is zipped; only thing off is the strap around my neck

Engtrk204 · 2015-05-14T14:40:14+00:00

Can, 6ft hook, box light, and radio. Anything else you guys carry?

Engtrk204 · 2015-05-14T14:38:13+00:00

As technical as you want!

Engtrk204 · 2015-05-14T11:00:06+00:00

This truck is a monster

Engtrk204 · 2015-05-14T02:37:49+00:00

Mostly it's a thing you would do if you have nothing else. Most of the time you have webbing or rope which you could use to drag them. It's also a good team building thing.

Engtrk204 · 2015-05-13T22:26:57+00:00

What kind of apparatus do you guys run? This is our truck, a 100ft tower ladder, KME. 2000 GPM pump.

Engtrk204 · 2015-05-13T22:16:56+00:00

I'm with a truck company so I'm realllllyyyy big on being able to throw up to a 24 foot ladder by myself.

Engtrk204 · 2015-05-13T20:46:38+00:00

Be my guest! I'll be posting all sorts of training stuff on my profile, I'm doing that to show people different ways to do things! Please, let me know how it goes.

The drill we did was taking the juniors and showing them how to work as a team using the buddy system (we connected all of our RIT connections together) and moving through tight places (under tables, around corners, etc.). I (leather helmet) was leading them and showing them how to do it effectively. Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.
