The fact he was from Essex says a lot, he is probably just a lazy sod who was looking for an excuse.

Although all firemen are muscle-bound heroes, (obviously ladies) they do have a reputation within the emergency services for not being terribly 'sharp'.

When spending time with paramedics a staple source of humour is the latest fire-service anecdote.

Amongst other stories, I heard about:

-The time during delicate and lengthy negotiations with a suicidal individual who had covered themselves in petrol, when a young fireman got trigger-happy with the hose and let go with 300psi, launching the individual 15 yards down the pavement.

-The time when a paramedic was carrying out urgent lifesaving work in an overturned car, when his bag of equipment was hosed down the road to 'tidy-up' the crash scene.

I also attended a house fire where the firemen were putting water into a house. The paramedic liaised with the fireman in charge to get a sit-rep. He paused and then said to the fireman,

"Umm...You have er... seen those, calor gas cylinders next to the house there? Haven't you?"

The reply came, "Gas cylinders? Where? -Oh right -yeah."

But it saved his life? smile
The end result was OK. But when trained negotiators (using set protocols and a chain of command) have spent time building trust, are getting somewhere, including getting agreement for the next steps of help & treatment etc, (to stop a repeat of the incident weeks later) a sudden jet of water powerful enough to knock a hole in the wall is frowned upon by those in the know.

I can understand that they wouldn't be happy lol.

My husband is a firefighter (a sharp one though wink ) - they had a load of kids throwing fireworks at them recently so they used said sudden jet of water on a couple of them....they soon cleared off!

Shirt, seen earlier today, wondering whether to lower his shirt or just go with his instincts.
