Bystander killed while watching house fire

[mattm04]

In Canada a lady was inside a house and heard commotion outside. They want out to see what was going on. A nearby house was on fire so they were watching with a group of neighbors, near a hydrant being used by the FD.

Sadly the hose failed and the coupling flung around and hid and killed one lady. No I know it is sad and a tragic death. No one wants someone do die like that, but it seems kinda obvious to me. The hose was under high pressure and something failed. fighting fires is dangerous to both the FF's and civilians, so stay away and the the FF's work.

Answer: Don't stand next to a high pressure hose?
Sh!t happens.

My dad is a firefighter, and while he was in training something similar happened to him. If it had hit him, it would have hit him in his chest and possibly killed him. Fortunately (?) it hit his friend, who is taller, and ended up breaking or bruising a couple of ribs instead.

It is best to stand at a safe distance and let them do their jobs.

Nosy people are terrible........

I live with a lot of old people. Unfortunately, lately, it seems almost every few weeks the ambulance and firetruck show up to one of their places.

The last time it happened around 9:30 am in Sheriff's building, and ALL of the old people who live downstairs wandered over to that building, into the door, probably right into that person's apartment! HELLO....let the EMTS do their fucking job!

I understand they are just worried but still...that's dangerous!
