Firefighters told not to enter???

I just saw this article and thought it was nothing special...until I read the last paragraph.

I can clearly see why there may be apprehension, but should firefighters really be told not to enter??

What are your thoughts? Any firefighters out there care to chime in? I wonder if all EMS workers are told not to enter??

Sorry bout that

Weird. I can't find any way to further click that section, but I wonder if he is the one that is instating the no enter rule or someone else. The article doesn't actually specify.

It's France so it's hard to say how their government acts and who made the rule about no entry. From a safety standpoint I can understand the no entry rule especially considering the type of animals that might not be properly contained in an emergency situation.

I work in EMS and can tell you that the only thing more important than the patient, is the safety of the first responder. While I don’t see a problem with entering a house with a bunch of pet snakes, I can see where a department would warn against it.

This is going to be me one day. LOL

A firefighter??? Hehehhehe ;)

I wonder what their policy is about entering a residence with barking dogs then however?

Frankly I find a burning building to be far more terrifying than an alligator, but I'm probably in the minority of the general public on that one (maybe not here though lol).

LOL.... nope. I will be the old man whose house everyone is cautious about entering because of the zoo that lives in it. LOL.
