  1. When I had a job as second in command of a Hire shop chain. I was also deemed as chief of the unloading gang for the Butane and Propane we sold. Myself and my deputy for unloading were sent on the fire training course from the supplier of the gas. Rolling bottles across the concrete with flames gushing from the outlet was not fun trying to put that out. most spectacular though was a standing 47kg propane bottle with the tap fully open and alight, wearing one glove going up from behind and just turning off the tap. No, it doesn't get hot as the flame doesn't start burning until about 2cm from the nozzle when it has oxygen mixed with it. Lived in Kent course was in Wymondham, as was the fire station for the fire fighting, hotel in Norwich for two nights had a whale of a time.
