Topic: Fueling Safety
Hey guys,
I've watched a lot of teams putting fuel in their car. Most of the time I see a guy will a fuel bottle and a second person with a fire extinguisher standing almost shoulder to shoulder with the fueler. It looks like a pretty bad way to stage your fireman. The guy with the extinguisher should be standing 10' or so away from the fueler ready to help. Otherwise if a fire happens you could end up with two guys on fire and the fuel bottle and extinguisher laying on the ground.
Just a safety observation. I'm curious if anyone with fireman training would comment.
