On this one it is in the 6th paragraph:

On this one, besides all the other good reading you'll find something of interest to this topic on page 171:

The Navy does a fair job of trainging and simulating real world adversity. They ran me into burning brick buildings where the floor is a metal grate. Under the grate is water with fuel oil running over it and you have to put a fuel oil fire out that is not only floating on the surface of the water but you only had water to put it out. Gooseneck through the hatch with one hose and you push the fuel oil back until you have it cornered and fog it until the oyegen is low and you better not let the oil slip past behind you either LOL. I saw men run out of that building ... the fire friengtened them to much.

I wish I had a scanner to make photos of the book I have from bootcamp. I seemed to smile the most when I was in the gas chamber or in the fire building LOL. I loved Damage control school. That was just to much fun for me.

My son finished DC school along with his A school and sub school up in Groton a few months back. He thought is was a blast.

You might find these of interest.

This video was required watching in Navy bootcamp for the Do's and Don'ts of fighting a ship born fire:
