Jimmy (00:00):
What's happening?
It's Jimmy with your Girl Megsand their Life and Safety
Podcast.
What's happening?
Megan (00:08):
Hello.
Jimmy (00:09):
How you doing.
Megan (00:10):
I'm good.
How are you?
Jimmy (00:10):
I'm doing all right, it's been a day, but we're here.
We're doing some podcasting.
We'll see what happens.
Megan (00:18):
Today's topic is fire safety.
Why are we doing fire safety,Jimmy?
Jimmy (00:22):
Well, it's a good segue.
It's like we've done thisbefore.
Megan (00:24):
It's almost like we practiced Right.
Jimmy (00:26):
It's almost like we've been doing this for a whole year
now.
Megan (00:29):
Crazy.
Jimmy (00:32):
Yeah, it's fire safety.
We're doing that because it'sMay and fire season's right
around the corner, so I justwanted to kind of go back over
and talk about some you know,fire stuff.
A lot of people are going tostart going out and going
camping and just enjoying theoutdoors and stuff again.
So let's kind of talk aboutfire safety stuff a little bit
(00:56):
and just kind of refresheverybody's memories.
So, with that being said, let'stalk about at home.
Let's talk about at home.
If you live in a wooded or evenpartially wooded area or you
live close to an outdoor space,you always want to kind of make
sure we got to keep your fuelload down.
(01:17):
So what I mean by fuel load is,you know, if you're one of the
people that has a fireplace andyou have lots of, you know, dry
wood next to your house probablynot the safest thing to store
because of the wildfire that youknow can ignite um, making sure
that if you have old, likeshake shingles like that's not
(01:39):
really much anymore, that's notwhat's happening anymore, but
just like the old woodenshingles like maybe it's a shed
or something like that maybe youneed to start thinking about
cleaning those off or maybegetting rid of them.
Um, some of the attic vents.
Make sure the vents have like acover that goes down.
It's not just open up to theair, to the side, uh, or there's
(02:01):
a fire, and actually make itlike a great.
It looks like a very fine, Idon't know.
That's where they get like adirt shifter.
If you will like particulatemetal mesh to, you can put
behind that so hot embers don'tgo through your attics and if
you are out in the wilderness,more secluded land or more
(02:22):
bigger property.
Make sure you have yourdefensible space at least 30
feet in all directions.
Megan (02:30):
At least 30 feet of what .
Jimmy (02:32):
Clear, clean.
You know debris basically.
So a lawn, or if you're like,maybe you live in the country a
little bit and maybe you have aswimming pool and then you have
like a fence, but then, like,their property is just open,
that property that's open, maybeyou need to till it or get
(02:53):
goats you can rent, you know,goats, it's a big fire fishing
thing.
They'll eat everything.
Stink, but they eat everything.
So you can knock down all thefuel load if you will, the grass
, things like that dead leavesand things like that.
I'm sure also for sure for sure.
Megan (03:13):
Another one that I saw online.
You could say, tell me if thisis true or not.
But I said it's reallyimportant to clean out your
dryer vent, because a lot ofpeople don't clean those out
often enough, and then that's aplace where fires start, because
the lint and dust gets trappedup in there and it's yeah as we
know, lint and dust is a greatfire starter if you're camping
absolutely, and just cleaningthe vent in the dryer.
Jimmy (03:38):
when you pull that out, there's actually, if you look
down inside there, there wherethe lint trap is that usually
gets caught up inside the actualdryer itself, not the actual
duct.
I mean both.
But people usually clean theduct but they don't clean the
actual dryer.
So when you pull the lint trapout, it's not a bad idea to
stick your vacuum cleaner downthere.
(04:01):
If you have like a shop vac orsomething like that.
What dry vac?
Stick that down in there orblow it out.
Some people you know it's alittle easier maybe to like to
blow use air compressor orsomething like that.
That's a great one.
Good fire safety tip.
Now let's kind of take it backout on the driving.
(04:26):
Just don't throw things outsidethe car.
You know, a big thing thatpeople always say is like you
know, cigarettes start, thatCigarettes actually don't start
a lot of car-sized fires, a lotof it's trash glass, things like
that.
Uh, a lot of it's cadillacconverters blowing up and
(04:46):
shooting out the littlehoneycombs that work inside of
it.
Um, usually people starting itfor just pulling over starting
it, so that's a big one.
Um, so I mean, don't throw yourbutts out of your car, anyways
your cigarette butts, becauseit's gross.
Yeah, um, don't throw yourbutts out of your car anyways,
your cigarette butts, becauseit's gross yeah.
Um, but really don't do it inthe fire service.
I mean, it's not going to starta fire.
(05:07):
Usually I'm not saying it can't.
It's just not always the causeand people like to say that's
always the cause on roadsidesports.
It's not.
Um, if you're hiking or outsideand a fire, fire breaks out and
somebody tells you to evacuate,make sure you do so and we'll
(05:27):
talk about.
You know what to do when youevacuate.
I think we have a podcastcoming up about that.
You know what to take with you.
And we'll talk more about thatin that podcast, but just high
level stuff.
If you are evacuating anyimportant documents, you might
(05:48):
have birth certificates,marriage certificates, passports
, some cash.
If you can afford to stash thata little bit bank any banking
information, any householdinformation, any insurance
information all that stuff'sgonna to be super helpful, and
make sure you put that in a nicesafe area.
Hiking, though when you're outhiking, carry a mask with you.
(06:12):
Like a little N95, you know youprobably have one left over from
COVID maybe.
I mean, obviously they'reeverywhere still Pick one up a
cheap, cheap one, put that inyour backpack so when there is
smoke and things like that andash, you can protect yourself
while you're evacuating, andthat's just probably a good idea
in general.
(06:32):
So that's a good one.
Uh, I got asked the other daywhat happens if you're trap
hiking.
Um, try to get obviouslyobviously near water.
Green stuff doesn't burn asmuch.
The absolute worst casescenario you had to take shelter
, obviously in the waterprobably would be better.
(06:54):
You have to hold your breathwhile the fire goes over you.
So think about that.
Remember fire travels uphill,especially in ravines.
So narrow canyons, things likethat, It'll act like chimneys
and it's gonna suck the fire up.
Also, be dependent on the wind.
Go opposite of the way thewind's blowing and try to run
across the mountain face, Okay,so you run down the hill.
(07:17):
Fire doesn't move fast down thehill unless you're in Santa Ana
winds, that's not the seasonfor that.
Um, fire usually goes up thehill.
So across the hill and thendown the hill and you're almost
always safer, even though it'shot on your feet in the burned
areas or run to the black sojust a couple quick things to
(07:42):
remind yourself about some firedanger stuff, especially because
fire season is starting.
In your car, drive away as fastas you can.
If you get trapped in your carmost cars now are going to hold
in the heat and things like thatyou'll probably have to run
(08:03):
Probably.
Can't take shelter in your car,okay, unless you have a fire
blanket and things like that,but most people don't carry fire
blankets in the car.
So just probably run away, kindof avoid that stuff Go ahead.
Megan (08:17):
If you have a fire blanket in your car, how would
that help?
Jimmy (08:20):
You would put it in the windows and that would reflect
some of the heat away and it'llkind of keep you cooler in the
car.
It'll kind of burn you over.
Yeah, Fire burns around youAgain, last-ditch effort.
Megan (08:37):
I'm not saying you can ride it out.
Jimmy (08:40):
But if there's absolutely positively no way for you to
drive away the fire's moving toofast, you're trapped.
Something like that, somethingyou could do, you know, versus
if you're running it mightprovide you some protection
might provide you someprotection um, trying to think
(09:06):
what else?
Megan (09:06):
let's talk about at home fire extinguishers yeah, some
fire safety at home.
Jimmy (09:11):
Make sure you don't leave , um, you know, obviously, basic
stuff.
Keep your range, your cookingrange, turn it off when you're
out in use.
Try not to keep anything youknow hot on top of it, like
grease, things like that.
I mean, take the grease, moveit off of the burner, let it
cool off.
Get ideas like that, vent on,get it above the thing, smooth
(09:33):
the air around, clean your ovens, that's a big one, oh yeah.
No one would want greasy, stickyovens.
Same with barbecue pits Cleanyour pit.
You don't want the drippingsand everything else to catch on
fire.
Yeah, that's always a bad thing, especially after, like I like
(09:54):
to smoke.
I have a pallet smoker and if Ido a really long smoke, like if
I smoked a brisket or maybelike a pork butt or something
like that, I can't always catchthe drippings.
So it gets on the grease trapand sometimes it'll caramelize.
Sometimes it, you know, gets alittle touchy.
It's a little touchy, it saysit might stop, but I try to
(10:18):
clean that thing prettyregularly.
It's quite a chore but I likedoing it.
I like doing it.
Um, now, fire extinguishers athome always a good idea to have
one.
Uh, I recommend people goingout and buying commercial grade
ones.
And you know, you go to anybodyabc fire, ace fire and like
(10:39):
that, and they'll sell you acommercial grade one that just
has to be inspected once a year.
And you know, as long as it'sinspected every year, they kind
of guarantee that it's going towork.
It's never a guarantee it'sgoing to work, but at least it's
a higher chance.
If you go to a box store andyou buy some of those off the
shelf, they're only good for acouple years and they don't
(11:01):
usually have boron dates.
So if one says it's good forthree years.
You don't know how long it saton the shelves and the warehouse
, things like that then, you putit in your underneath your sink
in your kitchen and it sitsthere for two years.
You know a lot.
Odds are it's probably notgoing to work.
It's probably three or four orfive years old yeah yeah, um, so
(11:25):
if you have one and it mightwork, they work great for, uh,
fertilizing your lawn becausethey have a loamy in them and
then just turn your sprinklerson, okay, and that will keep the
dust down.
Don't do it when it's windy orif you're near your car or
anybody else's car, because it'sa fine grit and if you try to
rub it off it'll scratch yourcar.
Megan (11:46):
Oh interesting, so don't do that.
Jimmy (11:50):
But you know, if you have like a lawn again front yard,
backyard, shoot it, hose it offand it's great fertilizer and
that way you get like thepractice of it.
Megan (11:59):
Um, yeah, the first time that I used a fire extinguisher
was actually here in one of theclasses.
Um, and I don't like I had seenmovies of it and seen other
people do it, but I'd never doneit myself and it was.
It's not a hard task to do, butit's like I felt a lot more
confident after having done itactually in my hands once and I
(12:22):
think that it's a it's a goodthing to practice if you can it
is okay, so best places to?
if you um get fire extinguishers, so best case is to get a
commercial grade one, not frombox store.
But where's the best places tokeep them?
Jimmy (12:39):
great question.
I would keep one underneath thesink in the kitchen, one in the
garage, if you have one, andthen one either in a hall,
closet, upstairs or maybe yourmaster bedroom, right?
So I have one in our masterbedroom in the closet.
So if I have to, if the firearmgoes off in the kitchen and I
(13:00):
wake up and I it's clear enoughfor me to go there, we're still
like, until they, you know, helpextinguish or fight that fire,
I do that mmm versus.
You know, in the garagehighlights, they're gonna find
me the fire.
You know lots of differentchemicals, things there and
underneath the sink, obviously,the cooking yeah so those are
the three spots I guess, formaybe if it's upstairs- I'll
(13:23):
pause it like that, like I said.
So those are some spots I thinkabout.
Again, I recommend a commercialextinguisher.
It's fire.
We work a lot with those guys.
They're good folks, goodfamily-run business, so
recommend them.
Once you use a fireextinguisher it's not reusable,
(13:45):
even if you only shoot ithalfway.
And that little dial inside ofit needs to be in the green and
the little vertical white partthat says good.
It has to be there to be good.
If you have one at home, pullit out, turn it upside down,
shake it.
You'll hear the powder plumpand then look at the dial and
(14:06):
see if it's moved or not.
Megan (14:08):
Oh, that's a good thing to know.
Jimmy (14:11):
And sometimes it'll move like shooting it upside down.
Sometimes it won't move, sothey give it a little flick, you
know, just kind of tap withyour finger and see what it does
.
That's sometimes it'll move it.
Sometimes it'll move that waytoo, to where they dispose of
them.
You used to be able to throwthem in the recycling bin, but
(14:32):
you can't do that now anymore.
You have to take it to a countyhazmat disposal site and
depending on where you live, youhave to make an appointment for
that, so that's what I'mthinking about.
Thanks for joining us today inthe life and safety podcast.
Be safe and we'll see you soon.
(14:54):
Peace.
What's happening?
It's Jimmy with your Girl Megsand their Life and Safety

We're doing some podcasting.

Why are we doing fire safety,Jimmy?

just like the old woodenshingles like maybe it's a shed

Um, some of the attic vents.
Make sure the vents have like acover that goes down.
It's not just open up to theair, to the side, uh, or there's
(02:01):
a fire, and actually make itlike a great.
It looks like a very fine, Idon't know.
That's where they get like adirt shifter.
If you will like particulatemetal mesh to, you can put
behind that so hot embers don'tgo through your attics and if
you are out in the wilderness,more secluded land or more
(02:22):
bigger property.
Make sure you have yourdefensible space at least 30
feet in all directions.
Megan (02:30):
At least 30 feet of what .
Jimmy (02:32):
Clear, clean.
You know debris basically.
So a lawn, or if you're like,maybe you live in the country a
little bit and maybe you have aswimming pool and then you have
like a fence, but then, like,their property is just open,
that property that's open, maybeyou need to till it or get
(02:53):
goats you can rent, you know,goats, it's a big fire fishing
thing.
They'll eat everything.
Stink, but they eat everything.
So you can knock down all thefuel load if you will, the grass
, things like that dead leavesand things like that.
I'm sure also for sure for sure.
Megan (03:13):
Another one that I saw online.
You could say, tell me if thisis true or not.
But I said it's reallyimportant to clean out your

Um, so I mean, don't throw yourbutts out of your car, anyways

Um, but really don't do it inthe fire service.
I mean, it's not going to starta fire.

Um, and I don't like I had seenmovies of it and seen other
people do it, but I'd never doneit myself and it was.
It's not a hard task to do, butit's like I felt a lot more
confident after having done itactually in my hands once and I
(12:22):
think that it's a it's a goodthing to practice if you can it
is okay, so best places to?
if you um get fire extinguishers, so best case is to get a
commercial grade one, not frombox store.
But where's the best places tokeep them?
Jimmy (12:39):
great question.
I would keep one underneath thesink in the kitchen, one in the
garage, if you have one, andthen one either in a hall,
closet, upstairs or maybe yourmaster bedroom, right?
So I have one in our masterbedroom in the closet.
So if I have to, if the firearmgoes off in the kitchen and I
(13:00):
wake up and I it's clear enoughfor me to go there, we're still
like, until they, you know, helpextinguish or fight that fire,
I do that mmm versus.
You know, in the garagehighlights, they're gonna find
me the fire.
You know lots of differentchemicals, things there and
underneath the sink, obviously,the cooking yeah so those are
the three spots I guess, formaybe if it's upstairs- I'll
(13:23):
pause it like that, like I said.
So those are some spots I thinkabout.
Again, I recommend a commercialextinguisher.
It's fire.
We work a lot with those guys.
They're good folks, goodfamily-run business, so
recommend them.
Once you use a fireextinguisher it's not reusable,
(13:45):
even if you only shoot ithalfway.
And that little dial inside ofit needs to be in the green and
the little vertical white partthat says good.
It has to be there to be good.
If you have one at home, pullit out, turn it upside down,
shake it.
You'll hear the powder plumpand then look at the dial and
(14:06):
see if it's moved or not.
Megan (14:08):
Oh, that's a good thing to know.
Jimmy (14:11):
And sometimes it'll move like shooting it upside down.
Sometimes it won't move, sothey give it a little flick, you
know, just kind of tap withyour finger and see what it does
.
That's sometimes it'll move it.
Sometimes it'll move that waytoo, to where they dispose of
them.
You used to be able to throwthem in the recycling bin, but
(14:32):
you can't do that now anymore.
You have to take it to a countyhazmat disposal site and
depending on where you live, youhave to make an appointment for
that, so that's what I'mthinking about.
