FireFighters — Vocab –LearnTheLingo – 54

Hello, Gwinnett! It’s time to #LearntheLingo once again in the comments section! What is the term this week is “Right to Fight.” “Right to Fight” refers to a hose’s fog nozzle with two different settings on it — one being a straight stream, the other being a “fog” pattern. Firefighters usually set the nozzle to straight stream to combat and put out fires. When turning the nozzle to the right, you’re at the correct water pattern to appropriately fight the fire. Thank you all again for playing #LearntheLingo.

Toss your fish with a teaspoon each of chili powder and garlic salt, 4 tablespoons of olive oil, and the juice of one lime. Marinate for 15 minutes. Now, homemade chipotle sauce!…
