That first pic shows zero firemen but also zero police and yet, lots of people watching it burn..

No sheltering in place like the order today in California..

Just a good old fashioned police car fire..

Maybe from a mostly peaceful protest..

That’s because the fireman wouldn’t be at the scene of a riot, putting out a burning police car. It’s not safe for them.

On that note you’ve never been to one so you don’t know

Golly gee ….. what are these firemen doing.

Golly gee ….. the horror. The explosions. What are the firemen to do?

We had a nuclear power plant here in Michigan that in off peak hours would pump water out of Lake Michigan up to a nearby holding reservoir - usually at night. Then, during peak usage hours they would release that water back through hydro generators.

I seem to recall that nuclear plants take about 24 hours to ramp and down.

So the water storage idea worked great.

Then the State - at the urging of the greenie weenies - sued the power company because there were too many fish being killed at the intake screens on Lake Michigan.

Forced the power company to give up lots of land along rivers above dams they had built long ago as part of the settlement.

Spraying the whole car down from a safe distance.

If that’s the one I read about it’s needed to maintain the 60 cycle frequency destabilized by wind and solar.

What’s the minimum safe distance for an exploding car, 10-15 feet?

What about the firemen knocking out the windows? Do you know why the fireman had the rescue saw? So they can cut the hood off if they have to, to douse the engine

On a side note, not one those guys are doing, can be done with an EV because they can’t even touch the car.

But you have fun with your toy cars. No ones mad at you.

“I seem to recall that nuclear plants take about 24 hours to ramp and down.”

Early plants were provided with load-follow analysis but proved to be great base-load plants running 100% 24/7.

Nuclear plants can ramp up and down pretty quick.

Why are they training? Quite possibly one of the dumbest questions. EVER. ANYWHERE. ON ANY TOPIC.

training…..because that’s part of their job. It’s to keep up with a certain skillet so when they have to do it to cut you out of your Roush or EV toy car, that’s the wrong time to learn that they forgot how to use the equipment or that the equipment doesn’t work.

Comments lien that make me think you’re the type of person that electricity comes out of the socket because it does and tomatoes grow in the vegetable aisle.

On that note, the piece of equipment being used is the Jaws of Life. Used to open or cut to get someone, who may be trapped, out.

I’m sure there’s an EV magazine you can read. Leave mens work to men.

They are rolling the dash for extricating a patient in the front seat. Nothing to do with fighting fire at this point.

But you said earlier that those tools could not be used on EV’s.

Now you say they can, after I showed you the photo.

I am the one that had to show you where your electricity came from!

You thought that all electricity produced by power plants went straight to EV’s.
