Don't think we're talking about the same material..

FYI... Topics like "knocking it down" a bit from the outside in SOME circumstances are NOT new to the fire service. They've been in practical operation for more than 10 years in some cases... Go to the UL website and look at the study done recently by FDNY at Governors Island... Look at the numbers! A difference of 600 degrees in a hallway with NO LOSS OF VISIBILITY is enough to make you think about a little change! Remember, it's all in the tactic being properly used! Maybe some of this stuff will someday be "tradition" for our kids!!!

UL researched the subject and has both a report and online learning module on the subject specifically for firefighters. http://www.ul.com/gl...vice/pvsystems/ This is a great study by UL.... Very informative!! However, accurate knowledge of the operations of a commercial or residential PV systems must be present in order to create adequate protocols for your department. According to UL we can now fight fires that involve these solar modules, but proper techniques MUST BE used. DC electricity is not our friend, nor is the increased weight load!

Would have been a lot nicer if they used the same style numbering and left the "Nodine Hill" on the front over the windshield!!! It looks way too bland now... From the look you'd never know just how many fires that rig went to over the years...

Once again, can't fight the uninformed ignorance that exists!!!! It's NOT about call volume! Do your research!!!
