    I have a question regarding the water can and car fires. Knowing the modern day hazards that exist in most modern cars, would it be advisable, considering adequate man power is on scene, for a firefighter to attempt to knock down or at least contain and minimize a car fire of appropriate size with the 2.5 gallon water can prior to the line off of the engine being charged? Obviously if the entire car is on fire that might be a little silly, but with a fire in the engine compartment, not requiring the Class D extinguisher, is this a good idea or is it more advisable to wait for line to in place and charged? Would an ABC work better than the water can?

    This will answer your question about car fires and water cans...

    FJ hit it right. How do we know the house is vacant? OK the obvious, boarded up windows etc. Well what if it's an occupied home that you are told "they are away" only to find a house or dog sitter, An older couple who's in Florida etc where an adult child stopped by and decided to spend the night, the list and reasons go on and on. Leave it to the IC to make that desision. They know the area, they've made it this far let their experience and knowledge guide them to make the right call.

    Poughkeepsie just had a fatal fire and it was a vacant building that was boarded up.

    A boy from my son's pre-school class was attacked by a pitbull and now he faces years of recovery. Frankie Flora was attacked at his Aunts house in Wappingers Falls on April 16 and received over 1000 stitches to his head and face. http://www.frankiefund.com is a site setup for donations because his insurance will not cover all of the costs. http://abclocal.go.com/wabc/story?section=...&id=6785393 ABC news had exclusive coverage of the attack
