- Learn how to use an extinguisher, make a home safety plan, and where to put smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Make your home as safe as possible and know what to do in any emergency.
I once tried to teach extinguisher usage to my sister. She corrected me on the PASS acronym, explaining that for her it stands for Panic Attack Start Sprinting.
That is so true for some people, once they see this🔥they panic and run🤣🤣
@@hannahor1151 except Walmart customers. They just keep walking past the exploding fireworks shelf
Good family.
Had a stove go up in flames at my old job as a cook. Two of us took point turning off and putting out what we could while the dishwasher made a bee line for the fire extinguisher. He comes in with a huge grin hollering “I have always wanted to do this. CLEAR!” He got it all put out beautifully. Then we all looked around and thought, “where did Des go?” Oh she had booked it, barely heard the word fire and she was gone. Lol. Can’t blame her.
I mean fight or flight right? Running away isn't necessarily the wrong way to do it but uhhh gonna lose your property.
Things that are in fire safety:
Screaming: Yes.
Crying: No.
Another valuable lesson learned.
Crying might put out the fire 😉
That was fun. Took the boring PSA we've all seen, and gave it your twist.
I remember doing the fire safety training at the hotel I worked at and as we were all crammed around the office trying to watch the tape I was so bored (fourth time viewing it as I had been there five years) I was legitimately considering shoving my key into the plug socket just to avoid another minute of that tape with the awful early 90's quality, the over the top metal music and the really jarring posh accent. That thing still haunts my dreams.
Was thinking the same thing. Funny and neutral enough to be for kids or adults.
Are you crying?! There's no crying in fire safety!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
On a serious note. I appreciate your comedic approach to serious topics such as this one.
3:45 my dad was a firefighter! He used to blindfold us and scream FIRE FIRE FIRE after putting us in random rooms of the house while flashing a strobe light to practice our fire escape plan.
It was difficult as all hell but it definitely taught us every possible exit and how to use things you wouldn't even thing of as an exit to get out.
I know this was 2 years ago but now I'm INCREDIBLY curious, you said you learned to use things you wouldn't normally think of to exit. What was the weirdest if you're comfortable answering?
@@twisted_tapestry definitely the texture of the walls. We were drilled on being able to feel our way out, so I would routinely rub my hand across the wall in a new area to get a feel for it. Afterwards you could use that to determine where you were going
@@DJ_Hypofox Oh, really? I don't think I've ever thought about the different wall textures before
I'm looking around now. Everything is a little bit different. The bathroom wall has a long ridge on it and it's definitely smoother with smaller grains, meanwhile the kitchen is made of tile, the master bedroom is really bumpy, and the living room is really smooth but with large grains.
hot damn that's interesting
I have a map in my head. But blindfolded? 😮
That actually sounds kinda fun
Him: sprays wife with extinguisher
Her: doesnt kill him
Me: well that's just unrealistic
They cut the scene while she was still processing which way to murder him.
That happened off camera after she figured out disposal method, made sure her passport was up to date, and made sure all her tools were in order.
@@georgedoubledragon3630 Well my exes seem to enjoy it when they bash the shit out of me and I am female so the least I can get a couple of laughs. Give me a break.
@@georgedoubledragon3630 Yes, yes it is. Anything is OK to make a joke out of.
@@georgedoubledragon3630 I love how ya'll only pretend to get offended when the joke is on you.
Note: Don't hold the horn of a CO'2 extinguisher to aim it. It gets extremely cold , extremely quickly. you could lose several square centimeters of skin. Then there will be Crying in Fire Safety!!!
Stay safe everyone in these troubled times.
Even if the horn is double-skinned frost-free type, you still have to avoid holding it, whilst using the CO2 extinguisher. On a larger ones, only grab the insulated part of the horn.
Hi Mehis. Your point about the doubled skinned horn is well made. I am an old retired firefighter, tend to remember stuff from my era!!
Would not however recommend a CO2 extinguisher for home use.
1. They are noisy and quite violent in operation. Have seen people drop them in shock!! Use one on a chip fryer you are going to blast the contents of that fryer all around you.
2. They only last 14 or 15 seconds. So you would in all probability need a backup. How many households are going to have two CO2 extinguishers?
3. They work by excluding oxygen from the room. The same room you are in!!!
Seriously. Have a Fire Blanket in your kitchen. If that is not sufficient, call the emergency services and evacuate your loved ones.
Smoke detectors will save more lives than any amount of fire extinguishers. They are easy to fit, and easy to test. No excuses.🚒.
Wait this may be a dumb question but what are you supposed to hold to aim
@@itsohaya4096 If the CO2 extinguisher is a 5 kg one, crab only the insulated part of the discharge horn. If it is a smaller one, keep both hands on a trigger or support it by putting your hand on the body of the extinguisher. In that case keep clear of the bottom for safety reasons. Positioning the discharge horn must be done before squeezing the trigger, as it will become too cold to do so during the extinguishment of a fire.
@@mehistaimsaar1323 cool beans, thanks!
If I use the fire extinguisher on my wife. I would be in the emergency room waiting surgery to have the fire extinguisher removed from my body
Probably from the posterior orifice.lol
@@gthgirl392
MD: "So how did a fire extinguisher end up there?"
RN: "The patient only pointed at his wife."
MD: "I see, still better than the usual stories we get..."
They do do neglect the extra step
Run like d@#k. Death by wife is never pretty
Blunt force trauma to the head, with red paint embedded under the skin 🤔😬😂
You would also be in jail, charged with domestic violence! How about you respect your wife instead of treating her like a joke, you bum!?
We have combination carbon monoxide and smoke detectors. About a month ago when it started to get cool up here in RI we fired up the furnace for the first time since lasted winter and the carbon monoxide alarm went off. It saved our lives and we ended up replacing the furnace because it was leaking a good bit of C0 when turned on. Always have a carbon monoxide detector in your house!
One of my favorite movies, The Ghost And Mrs Muir, the main premise is that Mrs Muir moves into a new house where a ghost shows up and keeps reminding her to leave the window open if she's going to sleep with the heater on, because that's how he died. This was way before any kind of detectors were available for homes.
They end up becoming best friends, and then one night she forgets to open the window, and they walk off into the afterlife together.
Also, a symptom of carbon monoxide poisoning is seeing ghosts/hallucinating. Most hauntings in old houses can be attributed to the effects of high levels of carbon monoxide. I don't think that was actually known back when that movie was made, though.
Yea, we did not have the CO detectors, when there was a leak. We did not understand what is going on, but if my mum did not wake me up to ask how I am feeling, the first respibder woman did not sugest the gas leakidge or if my mum did not see both our cats dead in the furnace rum and get out fast, all of us could be dead, as it can be hard to understand what is happening or it can be night. Oh, and I was pregnant at the time. So, like, have detectors, test them and know the symptoms.
One of each on every floor and it'll easily save your life.
"If you can't stand you're family, there's always alcohol"
Alcohol being for drinking or alcohol like in a molotov cocktail?
Yes.
Yes
Yes.
Yeah
Yes.
A semi-related note, get your heating system checked annually if at all possible! I worked as a chimney sweep, bricklayer, and liner tech in VT and I saw so many systems that were old, rotting, often with evidence of small fires occurring unnoticed, and almost always hidden away where you'd never bother to look. Get them checked and cleaned so you can improve your heating system's efficiency, extend its lifespan, and quite possibly save your own life. Seriously, you don't want that stuff mixed up with the smoke. We wear ventilators for a reason.
I'm glad my dad had us practice our fire escape plan. But my biggest fear was always there was going to be a fire while I was in the shower and I'd have to find my way out in just a bath towel 😅
I sleep naked so I get the " can I grab a shirt and some kind of pants before I fly out of the House?" fear.
@@tiffanyreigle6996 "how fast can I wrestle on a shirt in case of emergency?" and if it was a burgler "can I scare them away with my nakedness?"
Some idjit kept pulling the fire alarm at my dorm until the day my buddy Mike evacuated the building soaking wet from the shower, wearing nothing but shampoo suds and a smile. He could have grabbed a towel, probably, but he just didn't.😁
1:00 is why he's a professional EMT, not a relationship counselor.
I remember being a 10 year old kid after getting a fire safety seminar at school. I begged my parents to make a fire plan with a meeting place in case we got separated during the chaos and to get me a collapsible fire ladder since my bedroom was on the second floor and I might not have a means of egress. The ironic thing is that they were both educators and would have specific fire drills where a door was intentionally blocked off to simulate a hazard like that. They just laughed at me for my concern. Thank God nothing ever happened
So, This is called, "BREAK A FAMILY CYCLE"! Make sure Your Kids have that layer of safety. Never to Early to start!
One way in, Two ways out!
Good luck!
A bit of an over-reaction, in all honesty.
@@jessemills3845 I mean it depends on the building in question.
Yep. My father REFUSED to get smoke detectors and one Christmas when I purchased some for the house, he returned them to the store the next day. Prick.
@@susank3986 That just sounds like he's _trying_ to get someone killed tf?
"THERE'S NO CRYING IN FIRE SAFTEY." Best quote EVER
I would honestly love to see you make a fire safety video for kids. I think you would rock it and my kids might even pay attention.
Our fire department had a program where they would actually come to your home and install free fire detectors, as well as give you advice about potential fire hazards in and around your home. If money is tight, you might want to check with your local FD and see if they have a similar program.
3:59 If rubbing alcohol fixes outside boo-boos, then drinking alcohol fixes inside boo-boos.
Yes, by causing death, if you’re referring to rubbing alcohol.
@@Minotaur-ey2lg Or at least blindness. Out of sight out of mind, I guess?
Bahhahaha!
Rubbing alcohol = isopropyl alcohol
Drinking alcohol = liquor
They’re not talking about the action lol
Did... did this video just cause me to inspect all my detectors only to discover a number died while I was away for 6 months?
I think it did!
"If your extinguisher says Halon and you're indoors throw it down and run away." A County toxicologist I talked with after investigating why they kept finding bodies holding extinguishers when halon came out. Halon removes O2. You kinda need that to live and it doesn't take much inside a room to kill you as you're trying to save the day.
It's what killed everybody in the beginning of the first Resident Evil movie. The fire extinguishers get set off and the woman yells "HALON." I looked it up and learned this.
Good lord, that's important to know
Sometimes a smoke detector tells you dinner is almost ready
Make sure when using an extinguisher that you aim at the base of the fire as well. One of the few things I remember from fire safety in elementary.
Interesting, in the UK general advice is to avoid extinguishers in homes and have a fire blanket instead as they don't need replacing anywhere near as often and are much easier to use. Also can be used multiple times.
It is a good idea to replace the fire blanket after use. Especially after the cooking fire. Even if it looks good after use, the blanket's integrity could be compromised and will not work the second time. And you do not want to find out that the blanket has been ruined by the flames, fat and heat when you try to put the fire out.
What is a fire blanket? I’m going to have to do some research.
Edit: That is pretty cool I have never heard about them before.
@@madeleinewalker838 fire blanket is a first aid firefighting equipment. It is used to put out fires involving cooking oils and fats, as well as the electrical appliances. These can also be used when clothes catch fire. The blankets come in different sizes and are made of fireproof material, although that would be compromised after the chip pan fire. Fire blanket is designed to be one time use only. After use, the whole thing, including the bag or the box, must be replaced with the new one.
@@mehistaimsaar1323 Thank you for the info.
Just have to hope the current material isn't later found to be as dangerous as asbestos (original fire blankets were made from asbestos).
First thing I did when I bought a home was buy extinguishers for each floor and fire escape ladders for each bedroom. Don’t forget to change the batteries and test fire alarms annually!
So, I'm not sure if you read these but I wanted to say thank you. I stumbled on your channel earlier this week and had fun watching several of those videos. Today, I was preheating the oven, and didn't know that I had oven mitts in the drawer/warmer below the oven. I just moved into a new apartment, never had a gas stove before. Your videos made me check my smoke detector, and because I did that, it went off today when my oven caught fire. I called 911 and the fire department came and I freaked out but was able to put it out with some water. I wouldn't have known what to do without your videos. Thank you.
Love the near perfect blend of factual helpful tips and humor
Fire safety tip for your house:
Don’t buy a house.
Directions unclear: Burned down my house.
Noted.
Can't afford one anyway, so I'm set.
Live in a box next to a homeless shelter. Much less expensive!!
So the homeless are actually one up on us homeowners, right?😂
For the longest time my family didnt follow ANY of these tips, we didnt have an extinguisher, we had 20 year old smoke detectors, no co detectors, and no emergency plan, I eventually installed new detectors, and bought 2 extinguishers, and came up with an emergency plan
Sounds, like it worked without it the last 20 years? :)
co1 detectors* it’s carbon monoxide not dioxide. That’s kinda semantics though when we all know what kind of detectors you’re buying
OMG my family is the worst when it comes to fire safety. I'm the only one who cares about fire safety
What a waste of time!
@@hannahor1151 Hi Hannah. The chances of you and your family experiencing a fire in you're home are quite small. So you should not get overly stressed about it. There are a few simple measures you can take. Make sure you have functioning smoke detectors. They are not expensive, and are easy to install. Close all doors at night. That's the basis of your average fire plan.
If you live in an apartment where you can't just jump out of the window. Always, repeat Always , know where your door keys are. If you don't already have one , install a hook , preferably not too high, and put them there every night. Somewhere you can find them in the dark. ( wouldn't be a bad idea to have a little torch on your keyring to help locate the lock).
Regards.
Stay safe in these troubled times🚒.
1:05 that look, he is so gonna pay!
He is so dead
Always considered myself a safety enthusiast, but after watching this vid, I checked all my detectors and none have batteries!! Damn, and this from somebody who takes this serious.
Hm...I grew up occasionally being made to descend a shaky aluminum/chain ladder from the second floor, and the habit of thinking through possible disasters stuck rather well, and has stood me in excellent stead.
As for 'And if you can't stand your relatives'....I always figured that was what the TEST mode on the smoke alarms was for....!! :P
"Yeah, I mean the alarms go off for no reason...no I can't stop them...YES you should get a hotel, let me give you directions!"
😂😂😂😂😂
I'm sure it was good practice for sneaking out of the house as a teen.
IMPORTANT: Dont confuse your air-horns with fire extinguishers!!!!
ElectroBOOM!!!
SCARE the flames out!
No problem if it runs with CO2.
I feel like there’s a story here.
Ok. I lost it at "emotional spouse fire". The look on her face was fucking picture worthy. And you know, you KNOW she is going to get him back. Omfg ahhahahah
" surfing channels to surfing clouds " that shit cracked me up
"Reduced cognitive abilities" is a very polite way to say, "stress makes people stupider".
This is part of why it's strongly recommended that people with anxiety disorders practice their skills when they're *not* overly anxious. That way there's less need for those cognitive abilities that are going down the terlet to remember how to do them, or even remember *to* do them in the first place!
I'm no exception to this. I ended up in the ER earlier this week needing that *one* exam that us AFAB folks dread to make sure my recent surgery didn't have unpleasant complications. Well, after the nurse brought me a gown and blankets for as much modesty and comfort as possible (BLESS HER!), I changed and assumed the position. As I was waiting, my PTSD- and anxiety-riddled brain panicked and lost the rest of the cognitive functions it had as I dissolved into tears. In that moment, I couldn't remember things like learned skills. I just had to survive. Then I noticed my Fitbit on my wrist and remembered the "Relax" feature! I'd practiced with it a lot. All I had to do was choose it and do what it said. 2 minutes later I was a lot more settled and was able to make it through the exam(I'm gonna live, though I won myself a referral). That memory only triggered because I'd practiced with it when my IQ wasn't roughly equivalent to a gym sock from the stress of the situation.
The Fitbit gave me a good chuckle too. At the end of the two minute breathing exercise it flashed me a nice little message that said "Low Alignment"! Thanks for the commentary, *Fitbit*! 😅
PSA to clean out your dryer vents. Those things are ripe for fire, and it helps your dryer run better.
What about “don’t try to put out a grease fire with water!”
He actually has another fire talking about the issue
Placement of CO detectors is critical as it has similar density to air, so tends to float in the middle of a room, not the ceiling.
wait really? always had anxiety about sleeping in a loft bed near the ceiling since CO weighs less than O2
I literally just brought this topic up with my sister who has two young kids. You can never start too young and anything they remember is better than nothing.
One thing my family always includes in the emergency plan is a designated meeting place. If we can't find each other after some disaster, we go to a nearby parking lot where it should be relatively safe from any earthquake or fire.
Released on the "day of home smoke-detectors" here in Germany. Well timed! 😉😀
What an oddly specific holiday. Care to elaborate?
@@killian9314 Germans know fire safety, is my guess
@@killian9314 it's not a holiday. It's just a day to bring a specific topic back to memory.
Like the international children's day, world food day, or world cancer day (which is today)
@@Jehty_ well that's interesting... and sad for today. I only hear about the big ones like aids awareness day and stuff.
@@killian9314 there is basically a day for everything.
And if there isn't one yet just start it yourself :)
Tip 1: fire hot
Tip 2: hot hurts
Tip 3: avoid hot
As a casual artist, this my go-to channel for studying facial expressions. Thanks for the practice! I will never not click on your videos. God I love your face.
And that’s y I keep my shot gun handy during holiday
🤣
@Vulkan Lives 12 gauge buck shot will shelve that issue
Screaming is the beat part of fire-fighting.
All I have to say is man she really loves you to put up with this shit 😂😂
“There’s no crying in fire safety!” Lol, just like my math teacher, “There’s no crying in math class!”
Hell there isn't. I cried every time I saw that familiar big Red F and my test paper...and my son turned out to be a math genius.
There's no crying in fire safety! LOL, that line was great. My dad was a volunteer and EMT for our local st.2 in Romulus MI. Your videos really make a lot of sense no matter which series, but I like your approach to the safety videos. The one about doing CPR I plan on showing the next time we have our annual training at my job. I like that you have mentioned once about the better chance that your local firefighter is a volunteer. That's how our city worked even with DTW international airport. When 255 went down, there was no sleep for a bit. It takes a great person to do the job whether on a paid system or not, saving lives is what it is all about.
The myriad of things I learned as at least a volunteer's kid goes from knowing how to hit a pinata at a Christmas party to how your dad made his van die the minute he turned on his new siren he got from a former fire truck...to tornado spotting, to knowing you can take your car to a local FD and ask them if your kids' car seats are installed properly.
Thank you to ALL of the first responders that are there when we need it.
THERE'S NO CRYING IN FIRE SAFETY!!!
New guy at the dept: 😭😭😭😭
Now that fire season has begun, would you consider doing a video about protecting your home from wildland fire? A lot of people who live upriver were burned out of their homes last year. It would be a good thing.
Good idea, i don’t see why people don’t act like wild fires are one of the worst problems, losing ur home sounds like one of the worst things to go through
3:25
Can confirm.
Found my dad's body when he passed. I had put my phone between my inner and outer shirt for some reason. I couldn't remember where it was. Didn't think to grab my dad's house phone to call 911. I raced to the front door to get to my sister and have her call 911, I struggled to unlock and open the door handle that I had done thousands of times before.
Random tip that I thought of: make sure that your alarm (to wake up) sounds different from your smoke alarm. You can easily sleep through a smoke alarm going off if it sounds somewhat like your wake-up alarm.
Good advice, having been through two, yes TWO! Both unfortunately caused by lightning strikes (yeah thanks Florida!) I have an extinguisher in every room of my home and two in the garage.
Something that is also really good for medical emergencies is to have a sheet for everyone, that lists their allergies, relevant diseases, medications, prior operations and (if you are living alone) first contact person.
If you can't remember the details right off the top of your head, or are just not conscious, it can literally save your life.
Where would this sheet be kept so first responders would find it
@@aubreyackermann8432 Normally in a box in the fridge. Sounds weird, but
1. Everyone has a fridge
2. Things inside fridges tend to survive even big fires
It has become just a standart as well. You would normally also put a sticker near your entrancedoor, that tells responders that you have an emergency medical sheet / box.
In many cases you would also be able to tell the emergency responders yourself where you have that information and it is still way more effective then listing everything, especially when you are in a stressful situation.
@@myotiswii I just hope the first responders have the magical ability to see through my fridge, everything seems to turn invisible as soon as it passes the door. Thanks!
A neighbor died because a fire was started by spontaneous combustion of oily rags left over from deck construction, and it burned up the back of the house. Her room had a window on the front of the house, but the firefighters said it looked like she opened the door to her room, and then the window, and that change in air pressure caused the fire from the back of the house to move quickly through the house from the back through her window, likely killing her. Two lessons from that: 1) don't leave oily rags out. 2) be careful about opening an air path through the house that the fire can travel through. Maybe she would've been safer only opening the window and waiting for rescue or leaving by the window, while leaving the door closed, but maybe an expert can comment on it.
Practice, practice, practice. Yes! Thank you. As a paramedic this kept my head from imploding.
My toaster caught fire once, but the glass of water I kept on the table at all times served me very well, and I managed to put it out on my own. It died down right before the smoke detector started blaring.
Now I know what you’re going to tell me, because my mom told me the same thing when I told her: “don’t put water on a burning electrical appliance,” but in my defense, it was the only useful thing I had handy, and I didn’t know we had a fire extinguisher, let alone where it was, nor did I know how to use one, and when my parents dug it out of the cabinet to show it to me after the fact, we found out it was expired by 2 years, so it probably wouldn’t have helped. (Don’t worry, we have since bought a new extinguisher and I know where it is and how to use it)
This means so much more from a firefighter other than from some random walmart employee my school found outside
As a firefighter I love watching these videos!!! Best part of my weekend haha
Oh man I love your channel! My mother was a fire inspector in Vegas when the MGM went up. That was sad. Anyway, being a kid going place to place staying in a fire station anywhere we went was AWESOME! I drive my family nuts with fire safety. The grandkids are watching your content too. We very much enjoy how your deliver the information and your wife gets mad credit for dealing with your crazy ideas:) Thanks so much for doing this and have an awesome, safe day!:)
You should make a video on if Paramedics and firefighters went on breaks.
I love that your wife is so cool that she’s no good at pretending to be a harpy. She’s just that awesome. lol 😂
this video was far more helpful than I ever thought it would be. Nothing to do with fire or at least not a literal one...its the part of elevated heart rate and stress make us act weird and I have allowed far too many stress makers in my life, and I pray for all who struggle.
In my house we have multiple fire extinguishers. One (2 in the case of the kitchen) for the most high risk rooms. I cook a lot at home so I bought a K extinguisher for the kitchen in case of a grease fire. Better safe than sorry! I also keep our smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in good working order. There's no such thing as too much preparedness so I also drill my family on escape routes and general safety.
The most dangerous, emotional spouse fire hahahaha I'm keeping this one in my book!
Lol this was hilarious❤️❤️❤️😂😂 no better way to spend my day than watching these
This video made me laugh so much! 😂 the part where the TikTok kid was just shoving his butt in the camera and the parent just sitting and eating popcorn was my favorite. 😂
To make fire evacuation training more realistic, use motion activated airfreshners and candles in front of them
One time when I was cooking Pizza, I dropped it into the Oven. I guess I didn't support it well enough when getting it out. Anyways, it started burning and I recognized it'd soon catch fire because, you know, pizza literally resting on the heatsource with lots of air nearby from the open door (looking back, maybe I could've closedthe oven door and trapped the airflow in it, but I feel like thst would've been a last resourt).
Anyways, I ran over to the nearby fire extinguisher, never once used, and fiddled around with the safety. Luckily before I could entirely ruin the food, my dad came in and got a few hot pads and pulled it out. It wasn't actually that bad (not much was really left on the Oven itself so the fire quickly died out) honestly, the crust was a little brittle, but okay.
But yeah, I guess it's nice to know I have a small shred of what to do if a fire starts nearby, probably still should've reacted faster and got the safety off faster, but still, not terrible.
Closing the oven would have been my first resort before looking for the extinguisher, but that's panic response for you.
If there's a heat sorce (oven, stove top, unplug the toaster) turn it off.
Glad the pizza was still edible, that's the important thing!
As I’m watching this: yes finally!
1:00 I can confirm. This does not completely extinguish the fire and only gives you just enough time to get to a safe distance if you travel at a high rate of speed away from that fire.
There is no crying in fire safety! I will remember this forever.
I can't stress how important CO alarms are in any house. We never had one because our house doesn't have a fire place, gas heat, etc. Well one day i got sick and finally called someone and come to find out, our house used to be heated by gas back in the 60's and the gas lines were never removed when it was switched to electric. The gas readings in the house were off the charts and was one spark away to blowing sky high or me face planting because the gas got me. Always have a gas alarm even if your house is not heated by gas. It may save your life. I got very lucky.
2020: "Ok, so now that you guys have watched this video, Imma set a state on fire, wyd?"
I have 3 ABC extinguishers: one in the kitchen, one in the bedroom and one in the car.
My one bedroom apartment has two smoke detectors and one carbon monoxide detector. All were tested in November.
Living in a second floor, one bedroom apartment doesn't need much of an evacuation plan: only one way to get out, and it was built in the 50, so our front door opens directly outside.
I'm in my 60s so I heard all of this before, but good video.
I learned back in Boces in Automotive Technician class the PASS with a fire extinguisher and it was awesome learning new things in life because i know working in a Car service garage a fire could happen at any time.
"in case of fire please leave the building as promptly as you do at quitting time"
what you wanted me to learn:
"If you can't stand your family, there's always alcohol"
what I actually learned:
"THERE'S NO CRYING IN FIRE SAFETY"
for the smoke detectors, PLEASE make sure that they are not too sensitive, the problem is with mine is that whenever someone cooks, it goes off, so eventually people might go "oh there it goes again" and just not care untill it's too late
I’ve watched your videos for a long time and didn’t know you lived in my state until now! Only an hour away! Thats awesome!
Anybody else thinking how Sheldon Cooper does this emergency drills frequently?
😂😅
Post on Facebook 🤣🤣 gotta love it.
(Shouldnt do it but people will anyway)
We have 5 fire extinguishers.. 1 inside each bedroom, even the kids room, 1 in the kitchen, 1 in the living room and 1 about 15 feet away from the pellet stove which is the backup for the basement.
I worked at a solvent cleaning company,and we had a fire drill day. There was a pool where they had a fire on the water for us to practice with the extinguisher. The only difference was I was taught to aim at the base of the fire which is where the source is. And also to sweep.
Yo what up Jason!!!!!
"There's no crying in fire safety!"
Does he have a “what people think It’s like being married to a firefighter “ vs. “ what it’s really like being married to a firefighter”
Would love to see that!
Thanks Jason! I literally never even thought about how the place I'm renting now has no smoke detectors or carbon monoxide detectors until I watched this video. Come to think of it, there was a bit of fire damage to this place already when I first moved in, so that's extra wild! I'm going to buy myself a fire extinguisher, since there's not one of those here either. 👍
2:45 oof
There's no crying in fire safety you say? Guess I've been doing it wrong. 😭
THERE'S NO CRYING IN FIRE SAFETY!!!! Laughing myself sick.
But seriously: When I got trapped inside a burning RV, the training I had been through was the only thing that kept me calm and allowed me to escape with my life. I still have fire drills with the family both in and out of my home.
Preach, Jason, Preach!
also one thing that i was taught. if the room is starting to fill with smoke, GET DOWN LOW and crawl etc
the smoke would rise to the top first and fill from there. so getting down low would reduce smoke inhalation
Finally, some of my classmates might start replacing the batteries in their smoke detectors that keep beeping in the background on Zoom.
1:21 the truth behind all firefighters
I love your fire extinguisher demonstration
My FF dad would make us practice fire drills at home, practicing different scenarios He would make sure we knew how to crawl if it was smokey, and would even say, "you're on fire, what do you do?!" And would make us demonstrate proper stop drop (cover your face) and roll. We had the meeting place and everything. I have to say though, I would have know exactly what to do had the house caught on fire.
“If you can’t stand your family, there’s always alcohol.” Trying to drum up more business for EMS, are ya? 🤪
