Did you know that you can always tell a man (or woman) by the colour of their stripes

ahh.. major mental blank.. whats that from ?

I'd be happy with a Scania with yellow rather than pink stripes

- but thats slightly off topic... All of my brigade's BA operators was measured up last year, and we still haven't been sent any more PBI Gold

Thats ok if you are going to STC to do the course but what about the people that go to local T.C and do the course?

PF_ · « **Reply #80 on:** April 08, 2006, 09:26:06 AM »

Way off topic here, but everyone says MFS have pink stripes, I always saw it as orange.

CFS firey, how ocme they measured up your entire brigade, thought it would just be BA ops.

CFS_Firey · « **Reply #81 on:** April 08, 2006, 01:35:15 PM »

Sorry, I meant all the BA operators.. its changed now...

Was On A Course Not Long Ago & They Were Running A BA Course & Overheard The Lion Rep Mention That It Should Be Out By The End Of June As Well. Will Wait & See.

As For Structural Gloves We Have Been Told That Our Normal Gloves Are Fine. Flash Hoods I Am Unsure On.

'Normal Gloves' I asume you mean the Pacific (i think?) leather gloves? It is specifically written on the sheet that comes with the gloves. "Not to be used for internal structural attack' or words to that extent.

Flash Hoods I Am Unsure On.

im pretty sure i read somewhere that evryones PBI comes with a flashhood.... not just our groups.

this may sound stupid but, hopefully those flashhoods come with some training...

24P · « **Reply #88 on:** May 10, 2006, 09:16:00 PM »

i think there's a video you have to watch. Pretty lame i know but better than nothing

CFS_Firey · « **Reply #89 on:** May 10, 2006, 10:25:27 PM »

I know this has been discussed elsewhere, but how can you go wrong with a flashood? Apart from thinking you can use compartment techniques because you have a flashood, the worst you could do is put it on back to front and walk into a wall...

medevac · « **Reply #90 on:** May 10, 2006, 11:03:16 PM »

i can think of many other issues... ive seen ppl attempt several differant ways of wearing them LOL

CFS_Firey · « **Reply #91 on:** May 10, 2006, 11:16:30 PM »

hehe, that could make for an amusing discussion... "How to injure yourself with a flashood"... something for the humour zone?

Our brigade got flash hoods with the PBI

Toast · « **Reply #94 on:** May 11, 2006, 08:08:10 PM »

When did they get them? If they came all together this may be a good sign...

PF_ · « **Reply #95 on:** May 11, 2006, 08:28:35 PM »

bout a month ago.

Best training with a flash hood - it's just another piece of PPE - it doesn't make you invincible or unburnable!

Mike · « **Reply #97 on:** May 12, 2006, 11:52:37 AM »

I wonder if those issued with PBI before the grant will get flashhoods as well

rescue5271 · « **Reply #98 on:** May 12, 2006, 08:59:35 PM »

Ye sure ............

mattb · « **Reply #99 on:** May 13, 2006, 10:37:09 PM »

Actually there is a procedure for putting on a flashood, you should be putting it on your head first then put your jacket on so the at the long part that comes down to your shoulders actually is covered in by the jacket. You then roll the bit that sits on your head back so that it sits on the top of the back of the jacket.

I've probably made it sound more difficult than it is but I trained our guys in the procedure in about 15 mins, the video runs about 10 mins and then we had slides with the correct procedures and washing and handling instructions.
