What is the most unusual method of putting out fires that we know of?
Answer Soaking yourself and your clothing and running into the flames
Can you say, “Ouch?” Beginning in the 1600’s and running through the mid-1800’s, Japanese firefighters would hose themselves down so that they, and their nearly 75 pounds of uniform, were thoroughly saturated as a protection. Then, running into the inferno, they would pull down the building, smothering the flames. Amazingly, only 5% of blazes resulted in death.
