PRESIDENT TRUMP WILL MANDATE GREAT IMPROVEMENTS IN HOW WE MANAGE
OUR FORESTS, MAKING ALL OF US MUCH SAFER FROM DEVASTATING FOREST FIRES.

Government mandates? Isn’t it fundamental to the GOP that the market solves problems with little govt interference? Why yes, it is.

And, every household needs one of these. (No, it's not a roach clip...)
An EMERGENCY GAS SHUT-OFF WRENCH costs only $5. and can be found at any hardware store.
In the event of a fire, shutting off your gas valve can help avoid an explosion.

I wonder if the decision to type in all caps like Dear Leader does is a conscious one.

It's part of the RUssian troll bot playbook

Well, if you want your wife or kids to have to dick around in the dark with a crescent wrench while the house is on fire, be my guest.
Me, I'm happy to have invested a whole five bucks for their peace of mind. (Gawd, the crap that people argue about around here...)

mickeyrat · January 12

if my house is already on fire, fuck the gas fuck the breaker box. fuck it all. grabbing my wife and dog and getting the fuck out of dodge.

jfc.

Exactly. Why work harder when you can work smarter.

Wow, what a selfish attitude!
While my wife and kids evacuate the house and get in the car, I'm spending 30 seconds turning off the gas valve

on the outside of my house with the EMERGENCY gas shut-off wrench I keep hanging next to the gas meter.

Why? Because I care about the potential danger of a gas explosion to my neighbors and the arriving fire fighters.
It pays to think these things through before one is actually faced with a tragedy like this.

fits the bill perfectly. Former actor and uses jokes to obfuscate the truth.

Most people hang them with a zip tie from the gas meter on the outside of their house.

I'm sure you know that if you turn a zip tie over, and and fasten it from the back side, it doesn't "lock"
but will still hold tight enough until you simply pull it apart. Zip ties are reusable this way for light duty jobs.

If you care about the safety of your neighbors, and the fire fighters arriving to save your home in the event of a fire,
you can help prevent a gas explosion by shutting off the gas valve on the outside of your house, if it is safe to do so.

Why aren't they supplied by the gas company

Why exactly is this a topic?

mickeyrat · January 13

you know, I cannot recall ever seeing a psa from a city fire dept suggesting what was presented above.

think I'll ask a fire chief I know. he's with a military dept but has spent a career spanning 41 yrs at this point (20 yrs active duty, 21 and counting as civilian) responsible for flight line, aircraft and base buildings and housing.

we're kinda close. known him forever.

Did one of the fucking idiots online push this, or something?

I can see it’s good advice if it’s just your house on fire but if the whole valley is on fire and you’re being evacuated I don’t think most folks would think of that! Most I tend think would be grabbing valuables kids pets etc etc! But I can see his point being good advise
