Firefighter Jeopardy, that is. The rules are simple, someone post the answer, then the next person to come along posts the actual answer in the form of a question. That same person who answers in the form of a question is to then post the answer for the next person to come along. Keep it firefighter related, try your hardest not to cheat(i.e. Google, Bing, Ask, you firefighter literature)... I mean, this is an honorable profession, right?

But, the answer is still correct, if not current. Just thought I'd throw in my $0.02.
It's actually a positive pressure attack. (Which can potientially make your situation 10 times worse if people don't understand the concept) So make sure you do your research on PPA if there's any depts out there considering the technique. Don't let it shy you away though, it works VERY effectively when done properly!
