为了火器操作员站在设备上的六英寸冰泥泵面板,“冷冻”脚冬天are just a part of the job. A number of years ago, while working a fire at a residential structure as a member of the Taunton Fire Company in Medford (NJ), I was the apparatus operator of an engine with hoselines working the fire. An earlier snowfall had left about six inches of snow on the ground and the temperature was about 30°F. The water runoff from the working hoselines was about six inches deep where I was standing at the pump panel. Ice was forming on the ground under my feet, making it very slippery. Inside my boots my feet were getting very cold.
然后,我有了一个主意。我去了后舱,拔出了2 1/2英寸软管的甜甜圈卷。我将其放在泵面板前面的地面上,然后站在甜甜圈卷上,剩下的事件。它提供了一个不滑动的表面。另外,如果没有冰冷的水在我的靴子上奔跑,我的脚保持了相当温暖的状态。末端耦合应用一根绳子固定,以免放松并撞掉您。
