    It's hard to stop a Trane, at least until this happens.......

    Happened across this via a friend of mine. Had no involvement nor do I even know where this unit is from.

    Look at all that rust. It was probably time to put that thing out of it's misery.

    I'll admit though, when the video started and dispatch said smoke was coming from the HVAC unit, I thought the FD would arrive to find a heat pump in defrost LOL.

    I've never seen a Trane do that, to be honest. Negative pressure burner or otherwise.
    I do think that fire department needs a requisition for some impact guns for the fire truck. Poor guy was spinning that little nutdriver forever.

    Not unlike myself when I get an RTU - three panels off before I find what I'm looking for...
    Is the Religious Right to blame for Christianity's decline?

    They argued that, as the Religious Right became increasingly visible and militant, it became associated with Christianity itself. And if being a Christian meant being associated with the likes of Jerry Falwell, many people—especially political moderates and liberals—decided to simply stop identifying as Christians altogether.

    The best part of that video was the fire truck ride. I was expecting to arrive to a total fire engulfed school.
    I'd like to know how that guy uses gloves to hold screws.
    What they don't know is that the school maintenance guy a 1/2 hour earlier was adjusting the gas valve to 3.5

    They were shaking the camera around so much that I almost got motion sickness watching it.

    They called to shut off the entire gas service for that? Why was there a flexible appliance gas connector outdoors? Hack work.

    West Plains, Mo. Rural towns don't have codes like bigger cities.

    Flex gas connections are common as well as copper LP gas lines.
