Fire Extinguisher Training
2522 headsets
Hello gang,
So this might be confusing, but I'll do my best to explain. Please ask me if you have questions.
Yesterday while out for a drive, the headsets were the worst that I've experienced. So we were doing a few more experiments, and discovered that the only difference was when either of the very rear headsets were unplugged. And that the scba seats when unplugged made no difference.
After consulting with Lt. Johnson, we decided to switch the jack on the firecom unit itself. There are six plug slots, and seven headsets. Therefore there is a two-plug splitter in the sixth outlet, allowing for the seventh headset. We then discovered that the two on the splitter were both of the very rear headsets.
Figuring that the splitter is the weak link, we switched which headsets were going into the splitter.
After the switch all the headsets in the cab (with all the headsets plugged in) seemed to be working fine, loud and clear. This leads me to believe that the problem may actually have been caused by the splitter itself. Please keep this in mind if the problem returns.
Thanks a bunch
Cheers
Rob

ECHO QV-8000
Hello All,
The out of service Echo QV-8000 located in the tool room needs to be taken to Hauer’s for repair early next week. Could B or C shift drop it by Hauer’s? Thanks to which ever shift.
1. The fuel leak occurs when the unit goes from being on its side [fuel caps facing up] to being turned to normal operating position, fuel seems to leak from some place and run down near the back of the chain guard and operating handle.
2. In addition we would like Hauer’s to perform preventive maintenance to the saw and give it a good checkup. Thanks Aaron Bielemeier
