FireFighters — Vocab –LearnTheLingo – 15

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.
