If a dry-barrel hydrant is not opened fully, the drain may be left partially this.
What is open.

Fuels such as methane, hydrogen, and acetylene, can be the most dangerous of all fuel types because they are already in this physical state required for ignition.
What is Gaseous

This should be available when cutting metal with a rotary saw because of the sparks produced
What is A charged hose line or an appropriate fire extinguisher
300
Metal ladders have certain disadvantages, list 2.
What is conduct heat, cold, and electricity, Can fail suddenly when exposed to heat in excess of 200 F, Accumulate ice on the rungs in cold weather creating a slipping hazard.
300
Because tactical ventilation reduces interior temperature, potential for extreme fire behavior, and fire spread, it can be effectively combined with this to stabilize an incident.
What is fire attack

When inspecting fire hydrants, you should look for the following potential problems,
What is damage to the hydrant, outlet caps missing or stuck in place with paint, damp ground surrounding the hydrant or erosion indicating a drain valve leak
