They brought some piece of gas equipment, which was needed
at a fire scene. Hurst tool, maybe. When the various young
fellows (other department) finished taking turns pulling the
start cord, the old guy (my department) went over. He turned
the gas on, and started right up. He describes the surprised
looks on the young bucks 1 / 3 his age.


BTDT Laughed at the youngsters....
One of our SOPs is to shut off the fuel and let the device burn off the
fuel in the carb. Makes it much easier than letting varnish plug up the
carbs.

Of course we did have a rookie who was using an ice drill to get water
for a barn fire. Only problem was he was trying to drill right in the
middle of the driveway !!!!!
