As with many aspects of the fire service, your safety & survival depends on
a continual effort to increase knowledge and improve skill sets.

Introduction

Kansas City MO. 1956 ( 6 Firefighters killed in the line of duty)  -
The potential should never be underestimated.
Even though this incident is from 1956, it is still involving the same gasoline we deal with today.
Take the same actions today and you will have the same result.
A combination of proper equipment (PPE,Foam etc.), knowledge of the fuel and its containers along with proper strategy & tactics 
can make the difference between life & death.

The time is now.........
Know how your foam equipment works.
Get to know the foam product used.
Understand new fuels on the market.
Get to know your district.
Become familiar with limitations and capabilities and apply RECEOVS to every incident.

ALL FUELS discussed here:
Pose a fire threat
Pose an environmental risk
Pose a health risk
Produce byproducts before, during and after combustion
THAT ARE HAZARDOUS TO HEALTH & SAFETY!

Remember...
"Environmentally Friendly"
refers to only one aspect of a fuel
(Carbon emissions) not to a
reduction in fire or health hazard..
It is a marketing strategy,
not a safety strategy
to be relied on by firefighters!
