If SMD 1 is performed correctly the halo system isn't needed...

It's a good thing.

End of story really....

Post by: Alan J on March 05, 2012, 03:01:07 PM: agree with Alex.
On the other hand, reading the detailed report of the Linton "incident"
would have me rather be on the deck with sidelines & fire blanket than in the
cab with halo, hope & not much else...

doesnt a correctly done SMD 1 have the same outcome as a halo system on a single cab appliance.

Good luck cramming 6 personnel in a single cab and all be down as close to the floor as possible :roll:

End of the day good luck to the brigade for having a source of funding and this being the way the brigade chose to spend it.

Just because i dont agree with it doesnt make it wrong :-)

If SMD 1 is performed correctly the halo system isn't needed...

If we're not in the wrong place, at the wrong time, SMD's 1 and 2 aren't needed.
