HAZARD CLUES: OLD BUT VALID

摘要

In browsing the fire Engi-neering archives, I came across the following letter from John E. Sleights, SFPE, in Franklin, Massachusetts: The bottom right photo and caption in "Preplanning Building Hazards" (Francis L. Branni-gan, April 1996) caught my eye, and I wish to relate a story from my fire service experience regarding a similar condition. Until recently, I was an active volunteer firefighter, EMT, and fire service instructor. Near the beginning of my 20-plus years in the fire service, we responded to a midafternoon call for a structure fire. We were the second-due company and had the longest run to make, at least five miles. When we were about halfway there, the first engine arrived from the other company and reported a working fire.
