15 MINUTES....

15 Minutes is the average "safe" operating time with a Scott 4.5 Air Pak. Skinny bastards such as myself can squeeze some more outta it. (Have enough to go in, enough to come out)

15 Minutes is the average time it takes for a wood 4 x 8 support beam to burn completely through.

15 Minutes into a typical fire means its been burning for at least 25 minutes.

15 Minutes into a downed firefighter operation means bad things...

15 Minutes is the average time a Nassau Ranter spends on this site.

If each Nassau Ranter spent these 15 minutes enhancing their firefighting abilities by reading the Firefiighter Survival or any other training forum, OR by actually drilling or learning 15 minutes a day, what would the Nassau Fire Service be?

Excellent post and you are 100% on the mark.

The department I am in now has a bumper sticker on every mirror, in every bathroom. It reads…..

The person looking at you is most responsible for your safety.

hey mfd594...

why don't you try at least spending 15 minutes down at your own firehouse, rather then 15 minutes preaching on the rant!
