How many of your departments mandate you wear FR BDU's for explosive breaching?

We were discussing Mille Lacs lake and our favorite fishing holes. Won't say anymore than that. Discussion was FR hoods and gloves only.

Possibly only a partial wall up to the drop ceiling as well. Hit the back wall and came back over their heads?

I wasn't either at first, but then towards the end of the vid you hear the guys laughing, so it was an "oops" not an "oh sh*t".

I figured I'd just throw that in here. I'd call it a "safe operation reminder" but I'm not on the clock, so it's just for fun.

They mention a closet, but I'm not sure. I'd hope it wasn't. If it was that adds even more to the situation.

Possibly. Anybody ever work on or around a drop ceiling? It's not strong to start with and it's held up by little wires and roofing tin. Gotta watch your surroundings.

And as you can see in the freeze frame at 27 seconds.......my question about FR clothing.
