That might go over better if you joined yor local VFD. Just a suggestion. You seem like the kind of person they'd like to recruit.
What, me put OUT fires?
Sadly, I'm in exactly the position Martin is talking about. Multiple jobs, little time. However I am finally joining the local CERT response team. Training for that begins in Septmember, I'm really looking forward to it!
I figured the whole fire hose thing was a bad idea, but I didn't know for sure. Thanks for input, Martin. I am still going to approach the HOA about sponsering a fire extinguisher class. I've worked closely with them on some other preparedness stuff, I might have enough pull to get them aboard with this. No harm in trying anyway.
