I often wonder if she's being very meta and wrote a song called Ironic which contains no irony on purpose. Then I realize that she's probably not that smart and go about my day.

Edit: Missing a word.

[–]Adelaidey 8 points9 points ago

It does have some irony.

The man who was afraid to fly, got on his first-ever flight, and thought "well, isn't this nice?" while his plane crashed? That is irony, clear and defined.

So is the woman who describes the man of her dreams' "beautiful wife."

But yeah, most of it is incongruent or unfortunate and not ironic at all. But some of it is ironic.

As a Midwesterner, I can say from experience that our firefighters dread the winter fires the most. We had a small fire at a local business a few years ago with a similar result; dramatic ice and pretty pictures. Unfortunately, one of our firefighters fell from the ladder because of the ice and broke his back.

[–]houndofbaskerville 92 points93 points ago

Fireman here. Winter fires suck so much. When you are inside, it is great. The warmth of the fire actually feels good. But the aftermath, when the fire is out is when the suckage sets in. There are many hours spent after extinguishment on what we call overhaul. That is when all the water on your turnouts does what it did to the vehicles and buildings in that article. It freezes. And it sucks so incredibly bad.

[–]whistlingbill 39 points40 points ago

Just seeing those photos - thank you thank you thank you thank you. Holy jesus thank you. I bitch when my hands get a bit chilly on my way into the office in the morning.

[–]houndofbaskerville 35 points36 points ago

It's no problem. Seriously. Most firemen I know do it for the right reasons. We were born to do it. It would be like asking a one legged duck not to swim in circles.

[–]whistlingbill 17 points18 points ago

Most firemen I know do it for the right reasons.

Wait wait wait wait. Back up there. What exactly is the wrong reason to go barreling into a giant building on fire in the hopes that you win and the fire loses?

[–]houndofbaskerville 20 points21 points ago

There are some folks that get into it for the hero factor. To ride around with big firefighter stickers on their vehicles and stand out by the trucks at fires. Like everything, there are folks doing something for the wrong reasons.

[–]StupidCapatcha 3 points4 points ago

As long as you do a good job at it, the reason shouldn't really matter. Who cares if they go into it just to be a hero? If they turn out to be a hero everyone should be happy.

Though they probably are really annoying to talk to (I'd expect they brag a lot about their job).

[–]houndofbaskerville 8 points9 points ago

If they are good at their job, I don't give a shit. But if they are in it for the "glory" and are shitty firemen...I can't forgive that.

[–]StupidCapatcha 3 points4 points ago

I don't mean to sound like a dick, but why don't y'all just change afterwards?

[–]houndofbaskerville 11 points12 points ago

Good question. Our turnouts are not only heat barriers but quite thick and protective. We have to stay fully dressed out during overhaul to prevent injury from sharp objects as well as falling debris. It also protects us from the cold in that insulation is insulation, hot or cold. It is miserable in the turnouts but would be unworkable in street clothes. I hope that answers your question. Also, we don't have "spare" turnouts usually because they cost about $1200.

[–]supaphly42 3 points4 points ago

There's time spent making sure the fire is out, putting away all the equipment, etc.

Sucks even more for the interior attack crews. The sweat that builds up makes ya even colder, even faster. Not to mention trudging though the deep snow just zaps the energy from ya.

[–]phyzome 15 points16 points ago

After looking at these pictures, I wonder why the fire hydrants don't freeze. That would be a pretty big problem for winter fires as well.

[–]Spartan094 65 points66 points ago

" Because there isn't any water in them to begin with.

Fire hydrants are equipped with an anti-siphon valve (meaning they are self-draining). The valve seal--the "door," so to speak--is at the bottom of the hydrant ... underground, safely below the frost line, at the point where the hydrant taps into the water main. A long rod runs from this valve to the top of the hydrant. The firefighters put a wrench on the top of the rod to open the hydrant. Once turned off, the water drains from the hydrant back into the ground around it so the barrel from the water main into the hydrant is empty. Hydrants are considered frostproof up to -50 degrees."

http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/1498/why-doesnt-the-water-in-fire-hydrants-freeze-during-winter

[–]JUST_LOGGED_IN 2 points3 points ago

What potentially could happen to the water mains and hydrants if a city hits something like -60 degrees for two consecutive nights?

[–]SoggyDonuts 7 points8 points ago

Invincible fires.

[–]Firefight352 7 points8 points ago

Here in Chicago we have dry barrel hydrants. When the hydrant is off, the water in the pipe underground is a few feet from the surface to prevent freezing. Once we open the hydrants, it is imperative to keep the water moving, that way it won't freeze.

[–]kposs 4 points5 points ago

In areas prone to freezing temperatures they use what is called a "dry barrel" hydrant. All of the water is in the pipe underground where it is below the frost line (none of it is in the hydrant until the valve is opened hence the name "dry barrel")

[–]nofx1510 25 points26 points ago

Because it looks like entrails? I also love that picture for that reason. Like the trucks stomach has been exposed to the world and the evisceration frozen in time.

[–]hammyt 35 points36 points ago

Exactly how I felt when seeing this image. At first it was weirdly off-putting, then I realized it was my brain drawing the correlation to entrails. The human brain is a crazy thing. We all recognized that same pattern and our brains all responded similarly.

[–]dIGITALbEATdOWN 12 points13 points ago

As I firefighter myself I've had my gear be totally frozen to me during very cold fires. We've had to use sledgehammers to carefully break apart the ice so we can get out of our gear.

[–]Sluggo55 8 points9 points ago

I'm old enough to remember open cab tillered rigs. Soaking wet and tillering back to the firehouse from a job like this would freeze you solid. My big fear on those nights was catching another fire on the return to quarters. It certainly happened often enough during the 80s, but lucky for me, it never happened on a "frozen coat" night. We always made it back in time to get a dry coat, a dry sweatshirt and dry gloves before the next fire. Little things like that count a lot!

[–]dbbo 10 points11 points ago

I got to wondering if it would be practical to add salt to the water to lower its freezing point.

You can dissolve 35.7g (or .610 mol) NaCl in 100mL water at room temp. This would translate to 6.10 molal (.610mol * 1000mL H2O/1 kg H2O * 1/100mL H2O).

This would depress the freezing point as follows:

T_f = K_f * b * i
T_f = 1.853 * 6.1 * 2
T_f = 22.6 C

So this heavily saturated solution would freeze around -23C or -10F.

What about the cost? In bulk, salt is about a dollar a pound, so 357g would cost about 80 cents. But this is way more expensive than clean water in the US: 80 cents can buy you close to 2000L of water.

I would say that this isn't remotely practical, even though we wouldn't necessarily have to totally saturate the water with salt. However, I didn't even consider the fact that the salt would probably cause a lot of damage to the firefighters' equipment through corrosion. Perhaps there is a cheaper ionic compound with a better Van't Hoff factor out there, but we'll probably just have to deal with the ice. It was a fun little exercise anyhow.

[–]Phantom_Scarecrow 9 points10 points ago

We had a house fire on a 6-degree (F) day. The guy was trying to thaw his pipes with a propane torch. We were on-scene within 6 minutes of dispatch, but by then the whole basement and first floor were involved, and it was spreading to the second floor. Too dangerous to go in, so we set up an outside attack. I was kneeling on the sidewalk with a 1 3/4" attack line, shooting into a second-floor window, for about 25 minutes. The spray from the hose was being blown back onto me by the wind. When I tried to stand up, I was frozen to the ground, and had to have someone pull me upright.
After we had it knocked down and were doing mop-up, the homeowners' insurance agent showed up to assess the damage. (Total loss, they tore the house down and rebuilt.) The chief said, "You know how this started, right? Referring to the "Open flame used for thawing pipes". The insurance guy said, "Yup. That's OK, though. We cover Stupid."

[–]themissinglinksys 8 points9 points ago

I'm almost positive this was the fire I saw driving on I 294 leaving the United Center. I was at the Blackhawks home opener (THEY WON!), and it was 9pm I believe. You could see how big the fire was because it was literally 9 degrees and dropping.

[–]Cdf12345 6 points7 points ago

Yes. We saw it leaving the Hawks game too. (Awesome game), but we decided to goto the Horseshoe afterward and right around 90/94 you could just see a huge yellow glow.

Normally with big fires you see smoke from a far distance but this time you just saw flames and a glowing yellow building like. 5-7 miles away.

My girlfriend took a few shots out the car window, this was the best:

http://i.imgur.com/REiOYz2.jpg

[–]themissinglinksys 2 points3 points ago

Hawks are off to a good start, I was very skeptical at first but as soon as Keith ripped that shot I knew it was over.

As for the fire, that is exactly what I saw! If you don't mind me asking, you said you were on 90/94...getting off at the 57 South Exit? I actually live in the southwest suburbs 30 minutes away from Chicago, and I take that route all the time since I live right off of I-80 and LaGrange.

[–]roncapa 7 points8 points ago

My dad was on the scene from around 9:30 til 2 am when they sent him and his guys home and let the local companies deal with the more tedious work of dousing hot spots. His house is decently far from where this happened and they were called very early, which means the fire was bad that early. They said one third of on duty fireman were at that scene last night.

In my experience, if it's cold enough the water freezes before it can soak through, which encases you in ice but you tend to stay quite warm. If it's not cold enough to freeze right away... Well that's when it sucks hard.
