    VIDEO: Fighting Fires with SouthernPrepper1

    YouTube favorite SouthernPrepper1 has a really good video series on firefighting. I rarely see preppers discuss firefighting. You can imagine that fending off potential marauders who may use fire as a weapon. You can check out the entire series HERE however below I have included a few below.

    The use of inexpensive IBC containers combined with gas-operated pumps – on the back of a truck or trailer – makes for an excellent home firefighting system. Hooking up a similar system to a stationary 3,000+ gallon pool would be an option as well.

    I’ve conducted regular fire extinguisher training with my kids. I light a fire in a firepit and have each person put it out while explaining how to use a fire extinguisher. It’s not much but the theory is giving them some hands-on experience now will make their ability to react in a real situation better. Should something happen it will not be the first time any of them used a fire extinguisher.

    I’ll tell you right now as you read this if you do not have a fire extinguisher in your kitchen click HERE or go to the store NOW and get one. A kitchen fire can get out of control in a hurry.

    I conduct regular fire extinguisher training with my family. I light a fire in my backyard firepit and have each person put it out while explaining how to use a fire extinguisher. It is not so much the theory that is valuable but the hands on experience. Should something happen it will not be the first time any of them used a fire extinguisher.
