Surge in domestic violence in North Staffordshire
Posted: April 20, 2013|
By Lucy Roue
DOZENS more offences of domestic violence are being committed across North Staffordshire.
Latest figures show 1,317 complaints were investigated by police between April 2012 and the end of March this year.
That compares with 1,273 cases in 2011/12.
The biggest rise was reported in Stoke-on-Trent South – including Longton and Meir – where figures increased from 261 to 302.

Thirty-five more cases were reported in Stoke-on-Trent North – which includes Tunstall and Burslem – and 27 in the Staffordshire Moorlands.
Complaints fell in Newcastle borough and Stoke-on-Trent Central.
Joe Walker, manager of Arch's Staffordshire Moorlands Domestic Abuse Service, said: "It seems with the difficult economic climate, rising poverty can influence the number of domestic abuse victims."
Justine Eardley-Dunn, who is chief officer at Hanley-based Savana, said: "We can never be 100 per cent sure of the reasons for the increase, but it is our experience that certain times of the year can affect the figures.
"High-profile sports events and holidays are common examples."
Domestic violence victim Lisa Thorpe, of Newcastle, is urging people to call police if they are attacked by a partner.
She was punched in the face, hit over the head with a vodka bottle and had a tooth knocked out by her boyfriend in two separate attacks.
Stephen Machin is now serving 19 months in prison after being jailed earlier this month.
The 38-year-old victim said: "I never thought he had a violent side but it was like he had a split personality. After he attacked me he would leave letters in the house saying how sorry he was. I was scared but I knew I had to get away from him.
"To any other women going through the same thing I would say leave the first time and don't let there be a second."
Police believe domestic violence complaints are increasing because victims have more confidence to report the crimes.
The number of offences in the county rose from 1,987 to 2,009.
Chief Constable Mike Cunningham said: "We know domestic abuse and serious sex crime is under-reported. One of our successful measures is how we encourage people to report it. We are also targeting the offenders because some will move from one abusive relationship to another."
Victims can call police on 101, or 999 in an emergency and the National Domestic Violence Helpline on 0808 2000247.

Friday's video of the day is from a place that can be very depressing, an unemployment office.
The video is from Spain where unemployment right now is close to 30 percent. The European economic crisis is hitting hard right now.
Well something happened in this office that put smiles on these peoples faces, at least for a moment.

There is definitely a market for a $2000 full frame camera.
Yes ... and the 5DII covers this market already.
It will also cover it during the holidays this year and in early 2013.
After that, the 5DIII will start dropping in price and in 18-24 months will sell (like hotcakes) for $2500.
When the price drops to that level (and below), it will leave room in the lineup for a new $3000-3500 body with 30+ megapixels.
So, as other posters have said, no room for a NEW $2000 FF from Canon right now - and in the next four-five years.
Who knows after that.
I think the appeal of buying a 4 year old camera will quickly wane with the wider public given that newer cameras will have more capabilities. The 5D2 may still attract xxD and xxxD upgrades but it won't attract new people to Canon.
Lets imagine it is now October 2012. You've got $2000 to spend on a new camera body. You don't own any other SLRs or lenses. For a lot of people, a 4 year old 5D2 is not going to be anywhere near the top of that list simply because it is now 4 years old.
I'd put the price range on this camera at $1999 - $2399.
The price will probably have more to do with the new xxD price than that of the 5D2 or 5D3.

text: The Browns' transition from the 3-4 to a 4-3 scheme has been a successful one to date. One evaluator who has seen Cleveland said the Browns' personnel suits new coordinator Dick Jauron's defense well. This shouldn't be overlooked in the defense's solid start. The Browns have been stout up the middle, with DTs Ahtyba Rubin and Phil Taylor (34 combined tackles) forming a strong tandem. Taylor (335 pounds) and Rubin (330 pounds) are often bigger than the interior O-linemen they are facing, the evaluator said, noting that trying to move Rubin and Taylor for an entire game poses a challenge for their opponents. MLB D'Qwell Jackson, the AFC's Defensive Player of the Month for September, is also a strong fit in Jauron's scheme, with Scott Fujita and Chris Gocong — who had previous NFL experience in 4-3 defenses — the type of outside linebackers Jauron prefers in his defense, we're told.

for a
New Generation,
a national initiative
sposored by the National Endowments for
the Arts in cooperation
with Arts Midwest.
Midnight Shakespeare teams inner-city youth and professional
theater instructors to create a wonderful alternative learning
opportunity. Specifically targeting under-served neighborhoods,
students work in an ensemble atmosphere to strengthen verbal and
written communication skills while building an appreciation for technique, discipline and sacrifice
- all necessary ingredients for achievement. The Shakespeare Festival
partners with community organizations like the CivicCorps Schools,
the South Side Community Center of San Jose, and the San Francisco
Recreation and Parks Department.
Students in the 10-week program discover and examine the world
of Shakespeare, and perform an abridged Shakespeare play using
their own life experiences to create fully developed characters.
This approach stimulates imagination, engages intellect and builds
confidence. Past performances have included: Macbeth, The
Taming of the Shrew, A Comedy of Errors, A Midsummer
Night's Dream, Twelfth Night, The Tempest, and

If the truck driver was passing at excessive speed and insufficient distance, and also slamming his brakes after passing, then charge him with attempted murder. A truck is not a toy.
I agree that the bicyclists were wrong to beat on his truck. They should have just held him there under citizens arrest until the police arrived. Letting him go was a big mistake. The police likely will not take the case seriously at this point.

I respectfully commute via car from Los Gatos Hills to Stanford via Skyline via Woodside road every work day.
I was an avid cyclist in the '80s and '90s until I was struck by a car, and became much more cautious in my riding.
These days, I am an EMR for a volunteer fire department in the area.
Many cyclists are earnest, courteous, and share the road. They are aware, and respectful of the dangers of riding a dangerous road with very little shoulder and blind corners. These are the cyclist that as a cyclist, I identify with. They respect that the rules of the road apply to all vehicles.
I have been very saddened to experience very aggressive, discourteous cyclists that are either oblivious to danger and their responsibility for following laws or bring to cycling an almost bullying behavior... My car has been struck, spit on, and made to follow a cyclist driving in the middle of the road, at a very slow rate of speed, without pulling right for several miles. I am alway alert, worry about those who drive in the middle down Skyline, on blind corners when the speed limit is 50, and many go much faster. As an EMR, I've stopped to help those who have fallen or who have been struck.
I really do not understand this new bike culture of the few that have this scary attitude.

There are 3 sides to every story. Cyclists can have Canada Rd all they want...but.... I don't feel sorry for cyclists who get run over on 92 or Skyline or Devil's Slide [portion removed; disrespectful language violates terms of use.]

Phoenix Police are looking for two drivers who they say hit a bicyclist and took off on Friday night. Although both drivers took off, but one of them left what may be major clue for police. When police got to the scene they found the victim dead, the drivers who hit him were already gone. "After he was struck, we believe he may have been struck by another vehicle as well. The primary vehicle, from what we are being told, fled the scene," said Lt. Chris Moore, with Phoenix Police. As they started investigating, they spotted a Ford Taurus parked at a liquor store not too far away from the crime scene. "This car just north we believe is the primary vehicle that struck him and at this point we are looking for another vehicle or witnesses," said Moore. Police couldn't miss the damage to the car, the windshield was shattered. Officers say the victim, 47-year-old Angel Hernandez-Sotelo, was crossing 7th Street just north of Roeser around 9 p.m. Friday night. It was raining out and the victim was crossing mid-block. They believe the driver who rented the Ford took off on foot. They're still trying to figure out the make and model of the second car that hit the victim. Police are looking for anyone who may have witnessed this hit-and-run or may have seen the cars driving away.TIP LINES: 480-WITNESS or 480-TESTIGO for Spanish.

Trials & Litigation
Judge orders EEOC to pay $4.7M in legal fees in Jenner & Block case
Posted Aug 6, 2013 3:31 PM CDT
By Martha Neil
In the latest chapter of a litigation saga that has proven expensive for the feds, Jenner & Block has won what could be a record $4.7 million in attorney fees and costs from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
At issue was an employment discrimination case brought by the EEOC against the law firm's client, CRST Van Expedited, in 2007. It alleged that female workers had been sexually harassed by male employees and trainers. The company settled one claim for $50,000, but more than 250 other claims were dismissed
A federal judge in Iowa said the EEOC did not exhaust administrative remedies and properly investigate before filing a lawsuit claiming that the company tolerated harassment, according to the Associated Press.
U.S. District Judge Linda Reade ordered the EEOC to cover the company's $4.7 million in attorney fees and costs as a sanction for making a "pattern-or-practice" claim and 153 individual claims that were "unreasonable or groundless." The total includes both trial-level and appellate work by multiple law firms.
A spokeswoman says the EEOC is "deeply disappointed" by the ruling and may appeal, the Associated Press reports.
A post at Seyfarth Shaw's Workplace Class Action Blog links to a copy of the Aug. 1 opinion (PDF).
It says 98 employment discrimination claims against the company were dismissed as a discovery sanction, and three were withdrawn by the EEOC.
A Jenner & Block press release provides further details.

In April of this year Walker Baptist underwent a rigorous unannounced on-site, four-day survey. The Joint Commission survey team consisted of a general surgeon, registered nurses and an engineer who evaluated the Walker Baptist facility and team for compliance with standards of care specific to the needs of patients, including infection prevention and control, leadership and medication management.
According to Robbie Hindman, vice president of patient care for Walker Baptist, the Joint Commission physician and nurses were in the facility, talking with physicians, staff, volunteers and patients, reviewing charts and employee records for four days. This process is called running tracers. The surveyors take an active inpatient and trace their path through their health care experience. The engineer surveyor is on the team to evaluate the facility's overall environment of care for safety.
"With this Joint Commission accreditation, we are making a significant investment in quality on a day-to-day basis from the top down. Joint Commission accreditation provides us a framework to take our organization to the next level and helps create a culture of excellence," says Bob Phillips, administrator of Walker Baptist. "Maintaining Joint Commission accreditation, for our organization, is a key step toward continuing excellence and advancing the care we provide."
"Joint Commission surveyors are experienced health care professionals, trained to provide expert advice and education during the survey, said Anne Allen, assistant administrator for Walker Baptist. "Joint Commission standards focus on performance improvement strategies that help health care organizations continuously improve the safety and quality of care provided to their patients."
In addition to the main hospital survey, the laboratory goes through a separate Joint Commission survey every two years and received their most recent accreditation in July of 2011. Their Joint Commission standards address a similar tracing process that follow laboratory specimens from the doctor's order into the laboratory, from specimen collection then back to the patient through result reporting, focusing on the provision of high quality, safe laboratory services integrated with patient care. These standards highlight the essential nature of laboratory services on the actual care and delivery processes that contribute to and support the overall health care delivery system.
"In achieving these Joint Commission accreditations, Walker Baptist Medical Center and its Laboratory have demonstrated its commitment to the highest level of care for its patients," said Mark Pelletier, R.N., M.S., executive director, Hospital Programs, Accreditation and Certification Services, The Joint Commission. "Accreditation is a voluntary process and I commend them for successfully undertaking this challenge to elevate its standard of care and instill confidence in the community it serves."

A man is behind bars after a police chase in a stolen car which ended in the Ohio River on Monday.
Patrick Ormond, 27, was driving on U.S. 52 in Ripley, Ohio, when a trooper tried to pull him over for a vehicle defect around 3:30 p.m. Authorities say when the trooper got out of the cruiser, Ormond fled in his car on U.S. 52, headed eastbound.
After 7.9 miles of the police pursuit, Ormond lost control of his car in the Village of Aberdeen and hit a utility pole. As a result, his car flipped over on its top.
Officers say he then got out of the overturned car and fled on foot, and eventually jumped into the Ohio River. Ormond then willingly surrendered and was taken to the Brown County General Hospital for injuries, then taken into custody.
According to authorities, he was driving a stolen 2002 Ford Taurus from Perrysburg, Ohio. In addition, the license plate on the car was stolen from a separate car in Mason.
Ormond had three active felony warrants with Cincinnati Police.
The crash remains under investigation by the Ohio State Highway Patrol.

So what drove either the Tennessee Titans or Jeff Fisher (or both) to end their lengthy partnership, if the report by Sports Illustrated's Don Banks is true? Especially considering Titans owner Bud Adams had said earlier this month that Fisher would be back as head coach?
It's hard to say Fisher's firing of Chuck Cecil caused the divide, since the Vince Young situation and two down years on the field had already produced something of an awkward relationship. But it came out after Cecil was let go that Adams would still be required to pay the defensive coordinator's 2011 salary plus whatever it would cost to hire a replacement.
Fisher was criticized for his handling of Cecil's exit, but it was clear a change needed to be made. It wasn't the removal of Cecil from the position that brought scorn, but the timing of the move. Again, it's not likely that decision was the one that brought about this one, but it's certainly a piece of the story one way or another.

What started as a simple challenge to Pac-12 rivals has gone flat NCAA.
Arizona Wildcats assistant women's basketball coach Calamity McEntire proposed to head coach Niya Butts that the program issue a nice cool summer cold water challenge to some of their conference rivals.
A challenge in which players and coaches would first, sit and have Gatorade buckets filled with ice cold water dumped over their heads and then challenge their rivals to do the same.
Butts, not a fan of getting her hair wet, decided to take the scenario a step further. She declared a donation value be placed on the challenge for coaches and a community service (hours) stipulation for players, with all proceeds going to benefit the Kay Yow Cancer Fund.
Yow, the legendary women's basketball coach at North Carolina State, died of breast cancer in 2009.
The Wildcats issued the first challenges just over a week ago and since that time you might say a tidal wave of challenges have been issued and accepted.
What started as a Pac-12 Women's Basketball thing has crossed over to conferences all over the country, touched the WNBA, encompassed media members and may now land into the ultra competitive college football world with Butts' challenge Wednesday issued to Arizona Football coach Rich Rodriguez and the Wildcats Football Program.
What has made this movement flow is video and social media. Each challenge is required to be recorded and team's then uploaded the videos to their website's or You Tube Channels.
The videos are then tweeted and retweeted and facebooked and shared. McEntire indicated Thursday that the hashtag #Chillin4Charity has been retweeted over 80-thousand times on Twitter and been viewed by 31.4 million people. Copyright 2014 Tucson News Now. All rights reserved.

Residents in rural northeastern California assessed damage to their homes and businesses Friday from a magnitude-5.7 earthquake.
According to University of Nevada, Reno's Seismology Lab the 5.7 magnitude earthquake took place at exactly 8:47 p.m. 31 km North Northwest of Quincy, California. It was centered at a depth of 7.69 km below the surface.
At least three houses had moderate damage including collapsed chimneys and cracked plaster. County officials said the total damage isn't yet known because many homes in the area are seasonal and unoccupied.
Plumas County Sheriff Greg Hagwood added supermarkets and other stores "had a lot of things come off the shelves."
Damages were also reported in several areas near Lake Almanor. Residents lost power for a period of time but it has since been restored. A boil water order is in effect near the lake after a water main broke. Sheriff Hagwood says repairs are being made and the order will be lifted after the water can be tested.
More than 35 after shocks have been felt in the area.
Pacific Gas & Electric said about 660 customers lost power on the southwestern edge of Lake Almanor at about 9:39 p.m. Thursday.
Almanor North and South Campgrounds remain open to the public as well as the Canyon Dam Boat Launch and Canyon Dam Day Use Area. Rocky Point Campground on Lake Almanor and Ponderosa Flat Campground on Butt Lake are open as well.
No events have been canceled in the Lake Almanor area due to this incident.
Susan Shephard and her husband Alan Shephard, who run the Quail Lodge at Lake Almanor near Greenville very close to the epicenter, said they were watching "The Hunger Games" on TV when the whole building started shaking.
"All of a sudden things started falling off the shelves, mirrors fell off the wall, vases fell down to the floor, everything started crashing," Shephard told the Redding Record-Searchlight. "It felt like the end of our world."
The Susanville Fire Department said it had received no reports of damage, and a Plumas County Sheriff's Office dispatcher said calls were flooding into its office but no reports of damage.
Thousands of people reported feeling the quake, as far away as the San Francisco Bay area and across the borders into Oregon and Nevada, according to the USGS website.
KCRA-TV in Sacramento reported that the Plumas County temblor was felt in downtown Sacramento, about 145 miles south of the epicenter.
People in Yuba and Sutter Counties, south of Plumas, said they felt a rolling quake, according to the Marysville Appeal-Democrat.
"People in the area felt a strong jolt, but it was not enough to generate serious damage, based on early field reports," said Rafael Abreu, a geophysicist with the U.S. Geological Survey's National Earthquake Center in Golden, Colo.

Luzhi Ancient Town
Last updated by gunnar at 2014/4/29
Luzhi Town has a well deserved reputation as the "Number One Water Town of China". When people enter into the ancient town, they will be impressed by the clear water, the peaceful environment and the scenic spots and historical sites that are spread all over the town.
Although many of the historical sites has been through hardships over the course of history, they still remain in a very good shape. For example the Baosheng Temple, built in 503 AD, has over 1500 years history but where the nine buddhist clay sculptures made by the famous sculptor Yang Huynh of Tang Dynasty are still well preserved.
Another special feature of the town is its numerous bridges. The one square kilometer town proper once had 72.5 stone arched bridges built in Song Dynasty, Yuan Dynasty, Ming Dynasty and Qing Dynasty. Now 41 bridges still exist which are all different from each other in design and style: large multi-arched stone bridges, small single span stone bridges, spacious arched bridges, narrow level-decking bridges, etc. Visiting Luzhi is actually very much like visiting a museum of ancient bridges. The density of bridges here even exceeds that of Venice.
Ancient ginkgo trees is also one of the symbols of Luzhi, as it is not only a mark of history and culture, but also adds color and luster to the streets of the town.
The ancient streets, houses and alleys are all typical of Luzhi. There are nine main streets in the town which are all paved with cobble and granite. The houses are built beside the river, and the streets runs in front of the houses. Since most houses were built in Ming and Qing Dynasties, there are also beautiful decorative patterns on the walls. There are 58 lanes in the town and the deepest lane is 150 meters long. If you want to enter some houses in the lanes and alleys, you have to pass up to seven gates.
There are also a lot of ancient relics in Luzhi town, such as White Lotus Temple of Northern Song Dynasty in the east the town, Concubine Sun's Tomb in the west of the town, the temporary imperial abode of Fu Chai, the king of the Wu Kingdom in the north of the town, and Zhang Cang's mausoleum, the prime minister of Han Dynasty in the south of the town. While strolling in this ancient town, admiring the ancient bridges, seeing fishing boats on the rivers, you can get a good taste of old Chinese small town life.

We were discussing BLEVEs at the station yesterday, and the SOP for a potential BLEVE involves, among other things, trying to cool down a container that is a potential BLEVE before it Explodes.
I was thinking about this, and I know from my welding experience that if you have metal that is hot and under tension, and you quench it suddenly with cold water, you can fatigue the metal and/or make it very brittle, causing it to lose its tensile strength very rapidly.
I imagine this is less of an issue on a large potential BLEVE container, as the cold water wouldn't have enough 'chill' to cool it rapidly enough to matter, but on a small potential BLEVE (e.g. small LP tank that's been heated up by a fire), is there the potential that a shot of cold water from a hose could fatigue the metal and actually cause the BLEVE?
My suspicion is that the sage answer here is: maybe, but it's the lesser of the available evils...But should the SOP involve a more gradual application of water to the container, rather than a sudden direct blast of cold water?

Can cold water cause a BLEVE?
My thought is no.
I believe that a container (and the liquid inside it) that is reaching temps that are approaching those high enough cause a BLEVE will have a slow enough heat dissapation rate that the amount of cold water applied via a fire stream will be insufficient to cause the metal to fracture. The rate of cooling of the liquid inside the container, as well as the rate of cooling of the container itself from the applied stream should be slow enough to allow the metal to react without losing its integrity.
Perhaps if the container was suddenly, totally immersed in ice cold water there may be a greater risk of failure, but I don't think a fire stream will have the potential to cause it.

My thoughts are along the same lines as Kevin. If it is a large container, I am not sure that the rate of effective water application will result in a rapid dissipation of heat. Remember, you are not submerging this container. Only a fraction of the water applied to the tank will actually be cooling (absorbing the heat) it.
I understand completely what you are saying, and your analysis is sound, but I think a fire/BLEVE situation is different.

Bleves are caused by the expanding LP in the tank...this increase of internal
pressure is what causes the tank to fail.
LP is liquid in the tank when under pressure with some vapour.
LP boils at -40
LP when heated to ambiant temps expands to 270 times it's liquid volume.
It is this pressure increase that results in a bleve.
The tank could not get that hot , where the cold water would
damage the tank and cause a bleve,before the expanding LP would
result in internal pressures great enough to bleve.
So if you have fire impinging on a tank keep water on the tank ....
large tanks will could require an unmanned stream set up.
Hope this helps
I am on side with Kevin.
And Don, don't forget that significant flame impingement on the metal above the vapour space of a tank can cause the metal to fatigue and fail long before the liquid on the bottom reaches a critical temp and pressure. The convective cooling of the metal by the contents is dramatically less on the top half of the tank (above the liquid line), than it is on the bottom half of the tank, so the relief valve can be functioning within acceptable volume, and you may still see a rupture.
But ultimately, IMO the best reason for cooling the tank is this; Failing to cool the tank WILL result in a BLEVE.Never argue with an Idiot. They drag you down to their level, and then beat you with experience!

Based on that analysis, then I'm guessing the best area to direct the stream of water would be (in order of priority): 1) the source of the heat; and then, 2) the upper portion of the tank (perhaps top 1/2)?

When the flame is affecting the bottom of the tank, you will see the excessive pressure buildup Don mentioned, resulting in either a discharge of the fuel vapour through the safety valve, or eventually a rupture of the tank due to excessive pressure.
When heated from below, the fuel in the bottom of the tank needs to be cooled to keep the evaporation rate down. Most BLEVE's occur once most of the fuel has vented off, and there is not enough liquid left to internally cool the cylinder walls fast enough. If you cool the bottom of the tank in that scenario, you can help reduce the rate at which the liquid vapourizes and blows out the relief valve. This may buy you more time in which to fight the source fire. Either way, as the relief valve discharge volume and noise increases, so should your distance (and rapidly ).Never argue with an Idiot. They drag you down to their level, and then beat you with experience!

I will respectfully disagree with the posts above that priority should be
given to the source fire....
I can think of 2 incidents involving large and medium size propane tanks,where
those tactics were used and the results were six firefighters killed and over
a dozen injured. In both cases bleve occurred within 10 minutes of arrival
of the FD in both cases the tanks were venting and the attack lines were
directed at the source fire.The large tank incident was in the U.S. and was investigated by NIOSH it occurred in 1998...the medium size tank incident
was in Warwick Quebec Canada,June 27,1993.
In ALL cases where a propane tank is involved priority is the tank.
Stay safe
Just found the US incident: April 9,1998 in Albert City Iowa.

The difference comes in where the source flame is impinging on the tank, and whether or not to cool the top or bottom of the tank. You cool the hottest spot of the tank first, as that is usually going to be the failure point, or at least the secondary cause of the failure.

If you are not cooling it, it is getting hotter...so cool it ASAP!

From the training I've had, it's better to cool the tank with a solid stream (unmanned master stream) below the vapor line. This will #1 cool the liquid that's boiling, #2 prevent the rapidly cooling vapors from causing a vacuum and collapsing the tank.
If you're one of those guys that has to "see it to believe it" like I am, make a little hanger that'll fit the top of a coke can. Fill the can half full with water and cap it with a latex glove. Hang the can on something and put a torch at the bottom. The glove expands as water turns to gas so you can see how it works. Then take a spray bottle and spray the can using different areas and different "streams." I will mention, you might want a few cans, when you put water on the vapor space areas you'll collapse them in a hurry.
I have seen this happen with some fuel tanks that were on stands next to a structure fire. Everything was fine until the mutual aid dept. decided to cool the tanks. Vents closed, tanks collapsed as they sprayed the tops of the tanks.

Those would have to be liquid fuel tanks. A propane tank would have to be cooled below -40° to attain a negative pressure. There is no danger of collapsing one of them.
The reason for applying water on the vapor portion of the tank is that the remaining liquid in the tank usually does a pretty good job of cooling that part by its own boiling. The vapor portion has no such benefit and approaches the temperature of the flame which is what causes it to fail so cooling that portion helps the metal retain its strength.

Brannigan was asked a couple of years ago when the NFA's STICO class first came out about cooling steel in structures (the text recommends not to do that). Granted, the steel being discussed is not under pressure from a boiling liquid, but the response was general to the properties of steel. He quoted the 17th Edition of the Fire Protection Handbook, pg. 6-136 and page 259 of Building Construction for the Fire Service, 3rd edition. He said, "Steel being heated by fire should be cooled by hose streams if a safe operating position is available. If the steel is elongating, it will retract to its original length when cooled. If it has started to fail, it will be frozen in the shape it had reached. Contrary to a once prevalant myth, the water does not cause the distortion of steel." He went on to explain where that information came from. He said, "My authority way back was the American Iron and Steel Institute. IFSTA had the error in the first edition of the "Science for the Fire Service". When I sent them my letter from the Iron and Steel Institute they contacted an engineer who wrote the material on page 259 of bcfs3 and issued it as an errata in newly purchased copies of Science, etc. but did not publicize it to past purchasers."

Birken hits it on the head! Cool the vapor space first as a rule. The water stream can cool the vapor space area, but probably has very little chance of touching the area below. Remember the liquid is beginning to boil at -40 F so what is the temp at vs. what your water temp? Are you heating the boiling liquid? As for the cold water affecting the tank and causing failure? I thinks its unlikely that if the heat is great enough to degrade the tank that any water will reach the target and still be "cold". It may slowly reduce the heat and eventaully arrive cold, but instantly? Doubtful, unless you're close in with a large smoothbore gun (and suicidal).

I'm definitely no welding expert!
But I believe the biggest concern with "quenching" improperly or otherwise heating metal unevenly isn't with a instaneous failure.
It's with the fatique caused later causing a failure as microscopic cracks expand over time...which could cause a catastrophic failure down the road.
If you have a tank that's in BLEVE danger, cool it.
It's life expectancy is being measured in days at this point, not decades. Certainly any bulk container is going to be getting off-loaded ASAP by the clean up contractors.
Makes me wonder if anyone flares off the 20# cylinders that have been involved in a fire but didn't fail???

My point is that liquid water (above 32°F) will always leave positive pressure in a LPG cylinder. It might collapse say a gasoline or diesel tank however. But I would rather have a collapsed tank than an exploded one.
If the quenching is going to be what causes final failure of the cylinder, it was already just about to fail anyway. That is a risk we have to assess and take when deciding to cool a cylinder to prevent BLEVE. But once you do, take agressive action and cool above the liquid line. This is no time for pussyfooting.
Standpipe, you nailed it on the head. But more than a couple of years ago did Frank Brannigan teach that steel is a thermoplastic . His position was the same 25 years ago when I attended his "Beware the truss" class. It was true then and it is still true today.
It is too bad that new firefighters will not get to know him, but at least they can read what he taught.

Basically, pressure is keeping the LPG in a liquid state inside the container, the amount is dependant on the outside ambient temp. If the tank's filled in the morning when it's 60 degrees, as the temp increases to 80 degrees it'll expand and vent off, or just increase the amount of pressure in the tank.
Throw some fire around the tank, increasing the temp around it, it's going to expand even more. If the tank weakens or the pressure relief devices can't keep up or fail, you get an explosion.
We arrive and start spraying our cooler water. If we spray it in the vapor space, we're cooling the vapor (by cooling the tank), causing it to compress, and creating a vacuum. If the vacuum relief valves (if equipped) can't keep up, we collapse the tank.
Now, if we cool the liquid, it cools it at a slower rate, first stabilizing, then reducing the pressure inside the container. The vacuum effect is slowed, the safety devices don't get overwhelmed, and we don't have a tank collapse.
Not saying it's right or wrong, just what I've been taught. Maybe you more scientic guys can explain it better, or show me where I'm thinking wrong whichever is the case

Leaky and PotterCast T-Shirts Now Available!PotterCast
At long last...presenting...Leaky and PotterCast T-Shirts! We know you've been asking for a long time, so we finally have them regularly available, and right in time for Lumos and summer.
We have five new designs for you to choose from: The signature PotterCast T-Shirt, a navy design with a bunch of PotterCast catchphrases jumbled in the center (find your favorite...), which is also available in ladies' fitted; our Lumos Special, specifically for the PotterCast's appearance in Las Vegas, NV; our swirly, PotterCast "Tower" style, and lastly, a reprise of Heather Campbell's Leaky design from last year, now available again in summery blue and brown. This is the first time we've made TLC shirts regularly available; proceeds from shirt sales will fund this summer's podcast productions as well as the running of TLC and all the sites in the Floo Network. We hope you enjoy and thanks as always for your support! PotterCast.com will soon be updated with a permanent link to this gear. And if we spot you at Lumos wearing one of these...well...you'll find out. :)

All the fences on test passed dimensional aspects required by the standard. This means they are high enough, the gaps between their vertical bars aren't too wide and they have no climbing footholds. They also passed the "strength of components" test, so their bars and welds are strong enough to withstand reasonably strong forces, such as from a heavy bump. In our last report in 2004 one fence failed this test; that company appears to be no longer trading. However, five of the 16 tested fences failed the "strength and rigidity of openings" test, which checks whether the vertical bars are rigid enough to stop an opening being forced to a size that would allow a young child to gain entry. This is a better result than in 2004, when 18 of the 31 fences failed this test, but is still not good enough. Any fence that fails this test could pose a safety hazard.
Some manufacturers whose products failed our test queried our results, saying their fences are tested and certified as meeting the Australian standard. There are subtle but potentially significant differences between the 2007 version of the standard, which we tested to, and the older 1993 version which many manufacturers still use and which is often referenced in pool fence regulations; this could account for why we found different results for some fences. Small manufacturing variations could also account for why their products failed our test. For example, the distance between the vertical bars might be a few millimetres larger than intended, or a section of metal tubing might be slightly thinner (and therefore weaker) than usual. A few millimetres can make the difference between passing and failing. Even with products for which a mandatory standard has been in effect for years (such as cots), we sometimes find samples that fail to meet the standard, despite that model being certified; manufacturing variations, either in materials or processes, usually account for this. Following manufacturer responses, we obtained and tested more samples of the ARC Fences Eden flat top and Bunnings flat and loop top fences against the "strength and rigidity of openings" test. The ARC fence passed this second round, as did some of the Bunnings panels, but one each of the Bunnings flat top and loop top fences again failed the test. See the table below for the full results.
Following our test, Bunnings conducted further testing and found a wide range of variance in the strength and rigidity of the uprights in some samples. They have therefore withdrawn some stock from stores. From late April 2009, their supplier, Protector Aluminium, will manufacture the fences to a higher specification, ensuring the fence consistently meets the standard by a comfortable margin. Bunnings is confident that existing installations of its pool fences don't present a high risk. However, if you have a flat top pool fence from Bunnings and are concerned about its safety, you can contact Protector Aluminium on 1300 724 588 for a free on-site test.
