Anyone happen to see this story from the Flint Michigan Journal?
First let me say that I wish Chief Wright a speedy recovery and I don't want to be hammered for questioning another department's procedures. That having been said, how could this have happened?

Firefighter now fighting burns: Veteran Davison chief recovering after being scaled by water
Sunday, August 26, 2001
.....During the past two-plus weeks, pain has riddled his body since a coupling came loose on a fire hose being pressure tested, dousing him with steaming-hot water.
...Wright called his experience a "freak accident." He had simply been walking past when the hose connection burst. The scalding water sprayed his left leg, ankles and other parts of his body, leaving second- and third-degree burns on nearly a third of his body.
