Fire Steward In Training

Today I had to go on a refresher course for Fire Stewards. As this photo demonstrates, there's more to it than wearing a yellow vest and shouting at people to evacuate the building, we got to have a go at actually putting fires out. I had a go on the CO2 extinguisher and reminded myself of the proper way to hold a fire blanket.

Here's why I had a practice at that. That links to a YouTube video of what happens when you pour water on a chip pan fire. Scary!
