[QUOTE="JonFrum, post: 504415, member: 18044"] But City Driver said, ". . . the trailer was resting on the wheels like normal, and the corner of the bottom of the trailer . . ." (I took him to mean all wheels were either touching the ground or very close, and the suspension was getting a major workout.) City Driver's example referred to "the tenants of an apartment complex." But if you want to switch topic and talk about UPS, fine. Can you post a copy of the policy you cite? UPS probably is of two minds. They want everyone to evacuate immediately. But I'm sure they would also want the fire put out with an extinguisher if that can still be done safely. An extinguished fire is better than a building in flames waiting on the Fire Department's arrival. I've seen mechanics casually extinguish grease fires in the shop with fire extinguishers and then go about their business. Do you know the UPS policy concerning drivers using fire extinguishers located in the vehicles they drive? Do you believe UPS will fire them too? If all fire extinguishers are "just for show," shouldn't OSHA, the Fire Department, Liberty Mutual, and the Safety Comittee look into this? [/QUOTE]
