and you call yourself a firefighter?

[SNOWPUSHER]

like seriously.... my neighbors hay bales cought fire today and it took the fire dep. an hour to get their and when they got their do you think they had the slightest idea what to do???!!?!!!? the fire was burning about 150 bales and spreading to more. once the bale is burnt its done anyway, so instead of keeping the others from buring up they were waisting all the water on the buring bales then a guy was trying to tell them that the other bales were catching fire guys said "well i need to be over here", so he just took a hose and started spraying himself. then that went on and on. so while they were fooling around more and more bales were burning up. one thing they dont realize is those bales cost money, those bales feed the cow that feeds you, so why not save what you can and let burn what is already burning?

 

[Snorider]

they should've started at the head and then worked back to where it started. trying to keep the water off the still "good" hay. but was the hay out in the open or was there anything near where he was spraying that needed to be protected from possibly catching fire also. but what started it? wet bales?

Hopefully your neighbor had his hay insured.

 

[SNOWPUSHER]

he was cutting grass and sparked something. but yeah its not rocket sience, just keep the fire from spreading to the other bales. WHO CARES WHAT OTHER PEOPLE SAY. But we moved everything that was in the way and the wind was blowing the right direction, pushing the fire away from the yard and everything else and pushing it out in the field. so their was nothing in the way or anything

and it people like u that pizz me off when i worked on the fire department we were VOLUNTEER yeah thats right VOLUNTEER busting are azz off for people saftey just about get run over many of time scraping up dead bodies off hyway 63 cutting people out of cars with the jaws of life and getting home all hours of the night and have people like u think u can do it better go ahead come up here with me and scape dead bodies off the hyway and see how easy it is

 

[Cyle]

He started his own fire, if he didn't like the help he should put it out himself. That is most likely a volunteer fire crew being on a farm. Ya, a burning house is money to, but they do things certain ways for a reason.

If you think it's so easy why don't you go do their job......

 

[Murminator]

If it was my bales I would got a tractor and started pushing the good bales outta there before they burnt let the FF soak down the good ones

So true...........

i'm not saying fire fighters are bad and I dont like them, I know their are some really good ones out their. Its just those guys that are wannabe fire fighters that are just doing it so they can say they are fire fighters that dont really care.

I do understand what your saying, they are told what to do and how to do it, but I would like to know, ok after things are organized why dont they keep the the good bales from burning instead of fighting with what is already gone?

I cant answer that,,,most of the bale fires i have been on ,,the farmer uses the grapple to seperate the bales and then you actually just control the spread ,,

But departments do have different ways of doing things....
