Same here sir. The bond I have with my current Mal is the strongest on3 I’ve ever had in my life and I’ve trained them for almost 30 years and owned a number of working dogs. I went through a lot of hardcore stuff as a child growing up and this Mal was abused and abandoned as a puppy before I rescued her. I would just say a Mal is a handful for a seasoned trainer if you got it as a puppy at 8 weeks. So adopting a 12 month old one that’s been through it… Well I’d be risking get burned to get her out too. She’s been through enough and it would be worth the risk to me. For me they are kinder and more loyal than any human I have ever met.
What am I doing? I'm talking to an empty telephone

Now I understand they sending aid to Maui in recovering pets or identifying remains. I assume the ID of remains is to give closure to the owners. https://www.woodtv.com/news/gr...s-to-help-maui-pets/ I hope this is ok to post here.

The guys in the first vid should have already been on air, not turning on the bottle when it’s on your back, FF101. Granted, they got surprised by the guy doing what he did to save his dog but they weren’t “surprised” by the fire. You’re either ready to fight the fire or you’re not. These guys weren’t. The lack of aggression is disappointing to an old FF. Good on the owner for saving his buddy, obviously no one else was prepared to do it.

When fighting fires on a ship, one team mans the main hose and another team mans the "wand" that sprays water just in front of the team. It's to cool down the atmosphere around the team. Steam can't be too harmful, it's just water vapor. I remember for colds, my mother would drape my head with a towel over a hot bowl of water with vapor rub to breath in.
"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

The applicator nozzle the "wand" is used to push fire and heat away from the team so you can get to the seat of the fire. You do not want to be down stream of that operation. Steam from suppression operations inside a structure to unprotected people is bad. I've seen it first hand, as close as you are reading this post. Firefighters in full protective gear can get steam burns. Granted those are usually due to their hoods not on right with skin exposure. Hray

Literally laughed out loud! My kids never watched him. They were part of the Barney era. As for the first post, dogs are our most loyal best friends. When they’re in trouble, you don’t think just act. They do the same for us.
