RE: Take a look at my tremendous conflagration

Wow, thanks for letting us walk in your shoes boots for a bit. The Strikers are beautiful machines. Just how the hell do you get the diesel smell out of your bunkers? Eww.

Love the post... nice shot at the end too... one for the office wall. Stay safe.

Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the comment Jason. The Strikers are pretty amazing. I've been thinking of doing a post that's a tour of the Striker some time. There would be a lot of pictures and maybe a video or two.

We have a special extraction washer machine for bunker gear at the station. It doesn't get it completely out, that's why we try to plan ahead and hang on to a previously issued set of bunkers for pit day. I'm sure the diesel breaks down some of the protective properties of the gear over time, so the ignition team avoids using their current in-service bunkers used on-duty.

Ya, that would be awesome. Do a 360 view... ah yes, spare gear makes a lot of sense.
