State Fire School opening ceremony

We finished up the classroom portion of the BGSU State Fire School Heavy Rescue class today and the training ground is set for tomorrow.  Below is a picture of the bottom of a fuel tanker trailer we had an opportunity to crawl around and under.  Notice the ring at the bottom of the bolts.  This is a breakaway for if the valve is hit, for example, in an under-ride scenario.  As long as the bolts are still in place the valve will prevent a big spill from the tank.  Potentially the only fuel to hit the ground will be from the pipe.
