Thank you very much for the information, it is true what you say, in this particular case the vehicle was inside a warehouse on fire, so fire in the vehicle came from abroad, as he agradesco their concern about our welfare, from and will command a hug and invite him to travel to where the Argentine pass here which will be very well received with our best roast beef.
I hope to have more contact with people there in order to acquire knowledge.
I needed to know if you have any record or training manual RIT teams and what you can send me my mail is grucbvm@hotmail.com
Muchas gracias por la información, es verdad lo que usted dice, en este caso en particular este vehiculo estaba dentro de un galpon incendiado, por lo que el fuego en el vehiculo provenia del exterior, lo mismo le agradesco su preocupación por nuestro bienestar, desde ya le mando un abrazo y lo invito cuando pueda viajar a la argentina pase por aqui que será muy bien recibido con un asado de nuestra mejor carne.
Espero tener mayor contacto con gente de por alla para poder adquirir conocimientos.
Necesitaria saber si usted tiene algun apunte o manual de capacitación de equipos RIT y de lo que usted me pueda enviar, mi correo electronico es grucbvm@hotmail.com

that picture was taken about three years ago we responded to a barn fire, it had rained for about three days and the berms of the dirt roads were very soft and the pumper tanker got over just a tad to close to the berm and it sucked him into the ditch. that truck was one of our mutual aid companies.
