Im speaking from both a techie and a fire fighters sides here. Number one, alot of those rules are completly insane, and ill be the first to admit to it. Along with OSHA stuff and Workers Comp board, and everyone else. Alot of those things are there because someone screwed up and loooked for someone to blame. But on the other side of it, theres good reasons. Theres been firemen killed because a fire extingushier wasnt where it was supposed to be or he couldnt get a hose line out. Even something as small as a wedge is a pain... A closed door will stopa fire in its tracks. The best prtection for first responders is to not even go dont forget, and sprinklers are very sensitive, and hanging things can detroy them so they dont work properly. But like i said, alot of the things are just stupid for the sake of look, i did something stupid like putting a blow torch to my boot to see if would melt and set the stage on fire and now a torch has to be lit 50.253 feet from any flammable surface..(dont know if its true, but heck, it fits) type deal.. Dont be stupid, and remember its not only your butts your saving, but the people saving your butts..
