    @@MakeItWithCalvinThat civilian should not have been in the exclusion zone. Someone wasn't doing their job very well by allowing it. It can carry on decomposing for a considerable time even after removal from the heat source. What always baffled me is why we cool them for an hour then consider them safe enough to handle yet they still have to be submerged for 24 hours. Why on earth that is the case and why they put firefighters at risk to do it is one of those questions no-one seems to able to answer. It has even been known for the odd, very odd, officer to put the damn thing in the crew cab and take back to the station and immerse it in their own dam exposing the whole crew, anyone they pass and their own station to a potential explosion. They do go bang as we found out in Manchester when a young probationer was badly injured and almost lost his life. He was too badly injured to stay in the service. His father a Sub Officer in Manchester was livid that he was exposed to it in such a manner and as Brigade Sec for the FBU started the ball rolling on new procedures that are still in force to this day. If I had my way they would stay insitu for the full 24 hours whilst being cooled by water spray but that isn't always practical.

    What's the cylinder procedure these days? Was it a case the Brigade had to 'baby sit' and monitor them for a twenty four hour period leading to major disruption? Then that got dropped and a more flexible approach was brought in?

    Well Ron I wish I'd had an Lf like you on my watch. I seemed to get a plethora of useless individuals or guys who moved on to promotion. Only myself as Sub and my excellent Stn.O seemed to be fixtures. I have no doubt you moved up the ladder yourself. Me? I liked my job too much to bother looking up. 😄

    Around 1996 there was a series of programmes shown to primary school children, where a haphazard family burn their house down, get burgled and someone gets injured. Each edition is a different emergency service but it’s the same family. Teachers children what to do does anyone recall it?
