Ooh, Level A entry. Cool. What make of suit did you use ? What was the nature of the call? What dept do you work for?
Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway... It really pisses him off.

Responder + with flash protection (after what happened in Louisianna, ammonia gets flash protection from us, no shrink wrap for me!). It was an Anhydrous Ammonia leak from a small tank attatched to a blueprint machine. 10x10 room in the middle of the building. We spent 70 min. on air with a 1 hour bottle (thank you skip breathing) and damn if I didn't have 1850 lbs left post decon. Dept. is Sac Metro (that's big Sac!).

Damn, talk about your small worlds. I just did a confined space on our Anhydrous Ammonia vessel.:S




Oooo...Confined Space no bueno! I was thinking about doing our USAR (TF7 in this area) untill I found out that dragging a SKED 150 feet through an actual cave that you have to back out of because there is no room to turn around, is part of the training. You have bigger balls then me brother. Jump out of airplanes? No problem. Hydrofluric acid leak? I laugh. Stood 100 feet from a BLEVE a few years back that caught an engine and medic on fire while shredding out attack lines with shrappnel. It was fun, confined space? No f@*king way, not with a gun pointed at my head!
