What is the purpose for fire hose testing?
There are 2 types of testing. Acceptance and Service. Acceptance testing is done by the manufacturer before it is shipped. Service testing is performed by the user periodically. Once a year. Service testing is for "in-service" hose to make sure it is maintained in optimum condition. Confirms that the hose is able to function at maximum pressure during firefighting operations. Guidelines are listed in NFPA 1962.
A safety precaution is any action taken before an activity to prevent danger or risk during the activity.
An example would be to keep a work area clean at all times to avoid accidents or to wear protective gloves and glasses when working with hazardous chemicals.
No.

My school has been debating on should felons be allowed to vote. We have entered the topic of can felons be a normal citizen when they are released from jail. Apparently the answer to the question is no a convicted felon cannot work as a firefighter in any state after they have been released.
Will cal-fire promote a ex-felon after working as a seasonal firefighter?
Sadly California gives preference to convicts when it comes to hiring and promotions... They think it will help rehabilitate these folks. We are stuck with Arnold's stupid push for liberalism. Trust me, we know who they are and we don't give them an inch!

What is the Starting salary of anestesiologist?
To become an anesthesiologist you need 4 yrs of college, 4 yrs of medical school and 4 yrs of residency training. You can major in anything you want in college as long as you take the required premedical course (which any college can tell you what they are). There is no major in medical school. The things to look for in a college are the same as anyone looking for a good college. You want it to be competitive, to have a high caliber faculty, to have their own medical school (they often give preference to their graduates) and most importantly, that the faculty and coursework in your chosen major are of high quality.
Salary ranges vary from $150K to > $400K.
Hope this helps,
Ronald Levy, MD
Professor of Anesthesiology
UTMB-Galveston

What NFPA standard addresses fire inspections?
There are over 360 NFPA codes and standards, which provide the basis for inspection under various circumstances. NFPA 1031 addresses the professional qualifications of those who carry out fire inspections and plans reviews.
Locally enacted statutes and ordinances often adopt the Life Safety Code and National Fire Code (or equivalent) as the legal requirements for fire inspections.
Individual sections of those codes would be the source of the inspection requirements pertinent to a particular type of occupancy or hazard, with reference to the general requirements for all hazards and specific other codes and standards for particular situations.
For example, Life Safety Code (NFPA 101) Chapter 15 contains the "life safety" requirements for "existing educational occupancies" with reference to Chapter 9 for fire protection equipment, which references NFPA 10, the standard for fire extinguishers, which references Underwriter's Laboratories and other industrial standards for manufacturing and testing the actual devices.
Similarly, NFPA 1, the National Fire Code, contains fire prevention requirements for all sorts of hazards and occupancies, with reference to other codes and standards for specific criteria.
How do you extinguish a flares fire?
It's very difficult. Flares typically have a fuel/oxidizer mix contained within the flare, allowing them to burn even when not in the presence of oxygen. Smothering a flare will not work. You either need to let it burn out, remove enough heat so that the chain reaction ends, or remove the burning part from the rest of the flare. Police are trained to grind the flare in to the concrete until it is out.
Why is red the traditional color associated with firefighters?
Red is the traditional color of firefighters because it represents the red of the flame. Though firetrucks are usually red, a firefighters uniform is usually a yellow reflective color for easier visibility while working.
Is Class 1 fire rating the same as 1 hour fire resistance rating?
In short, No - in the UK "Class 1" is a form of performance that indicates how easily something burns ('Class 4" being the worst).
Fire resistance on the other hand is a term that relates to a construction's ability to resist the passage of fire (e.g. a wall, floor, door etc).
The fact that a material is "Class 1" doesn't necessarily have any bearing on its fire resistance performance. For example, PVC cladding can be obtained to a 'Class 1' rating, but it wouldn't contribute much to the wall's fire resistance performance at all.

What happends if there is a fire in a fire station?
The firefighters fight the fire (if they are there). If the fire is when the firefighters are on another fire the next closest fire company is called to put out the fire. Several fire stations have caught on fire. Fires at a fire station are usually caused by firefighters cooking and when they get called to an emergency they forget to turn off the stove or oven in the excitement.
