LPG Fires and Flam liquid fire another example of a heat sorce where it is not so easy to turn off. And again CFS tell you even at training courses to remove all metal objects from your person
Compartment fire course again asked to remove metal objects. Many people have reiceved burns from metal objects after they have left the container. Again example of where you can never be too careful.

intersesting responses so far. Having been in structure fires and lpg fires i know that the matal objects in pockets/BA sets indeed stay hot for some time after you exit the building that is why the CFS stress that you remove metal items from your person that would heat and retain heat. Interesting

From some of the last replies it says to me that you have not been directly involved in to many structure fires. It also says to me that you regard radiant heat as a non life threatining propersition. Your regard for OHW&S leaves a lot to be desired and i hope for your sake and the sake of other members in your brigade that your recklesness does not get you burnt

I find it more than ammusing that the people that are issued with PBI Gold carry around metal objects in their pockets. Being that they heat up when put into a fire like any other metal object!!!!!!!!!!
Now it has been a few years since my last BA reacred but im sure that we were told to remove all ojects on our person that were metal due to the exact reason mentioned above. Now for any of you that have been in a smoke/hot house for training and any of you that have acctually taken the brave steps into a burnig building that the later is far hotter that a smoke house. Dont you think that carring metal objects in your pockets is kind of silly

well actually you are totally wrong with your reference to AS3000. there is no reference to any form of appliance testing in AS3000. that is the standard for Electrical installation, (wiring rules). AS/NZS 3000:2007 has been endorsed by all Australian states and territories, and New Zealand. The standard in question in AS/NZS 3760 is the standard for testing of electrical equipment, and yes it calls for different testing periods for the different classes of equipment according to their location
