Advanced Propane Fire and Leak Control

[Atv300 69]

On September Fifteenth in a class put on with paraco gas and the Dutchess County Department of emergence response we conducted live fire and leak evolution's to train on what we have learned in two nights of classroom training. A Few Duchess county departments were represented at the class including J.H. Ketcham (Dover), Beekmen, Hydepark, Roosevelt, Stanford, New Hamburg, Pleasant Valley, I apologize for any department I forgot. I will come back with some better descriptions and explanations throughout the week when i have more time but I wanted to get some of the photos up for others to see. I Don't know if every one can tell but if you look at where the liquid propane was blowing out the relief valve it was creating a ice tub moving the leak and flame upward away from the tank look at the straight whit stream of fog coming from the tank you can see the ice forming. Another shot of the ice buildup. A fresh out of Fire Fighter one kid getting a chance to give a shot. A fairly new but up and coming Fire Fighter EMT getting right up on the tank. Who said ice dosn't burn. Here is a chunk of frozen liquid propane on fire that got blown off the tank. I will eventually try and post some more pictures and video as soon as I can.
