Breakfast

Guest Speaker: Al and Tom did a tag team on going through the potential harm of fire and also the use of fire extinguishers.

Al showed a power point presentation on the time frame of a fire from start to flash over and the harm that can become those trapped in a confined space to become lethal.

The time that could be taken to put the fire out and or the decision to get the hell out of there.

Tom did the outside demonstration of using different fire extinguishers from powder to Co2 and also the use of a fire blanket.

Overall very informative and well done those who had a go at using the fire extinguishers and the fire blanket. No eye brows singed and no property lost.
