Peep Microwave Disaster - Preventing Structure Fires

A hidden risk that the general population does not know about, and unfortunately this includes many firefighters involves Easter Peep's. Every Easter, we see the potential for significant collateral damage from people actually placing peeps in the microwave oven.

The outcome can be disastrous and luckily, I came across this video that can be used to prepare you for these incident types. I can't express strongly enough the need to review your ICS FOG's Unified Command section. These incidents have the potential to grow...

Happy Easter!

When I first got into the fire service all Peeps were yellow. Now you also have pink, lavender, blue and white. What colors do you all think Peeps should be?

First off Roy, you have to know that Peeps and Hazmat are synonymous. Many of the on scene testing for unknowns require Peep input... and we do use Jr. Peeps that typically come in a variety of pastel colors. After all, it is an Easter themed item.

You might make note that there has been a significant problem identified with the Junior Peeps. Call it peer pressure or Peep pressure, cigarette smoking has become a major problem...

You see Roy, once the Peeps know there is a pack laying around, they can't resist the urge to light one up... Of course the problem is that they don't have hands so you kind of have to be an enabler...
