Category Description: Firefighter Rescue Belts

This paper explores the different aspects in living a firefighter’s life. The topics that will be covered are the various types of technology when being a fireman, the different tactics you see on a day to day basis, the physical abilities one must be capable of, and the types of equipment used. The technology used today to help fight fires is extremely progressed and different than it was even just ten years ago. If it were not for these new inventions, communication would not be as easy and complex for any fire station. Firemen face different obstacles every day and have to be ready to jump right in with whatever the circumstance may be. Tactics such as

Firefighting tactics, like firefighting itself, has a history step in tradition but must also adapt to modern technology and science to stay relevant. Recently, fire research has provided the fire community with new tactics such as fire flow path, pencilling and transitional attack. While all three tactics have their merit, transitional attack has been shown to benefit both the firefighters and civilians in measurable ways.

On March 25, 1911, a Saturday afternoon, near closing time, a fire broke out in the Triangle Waist Company, on one of the top 3 floors of the ten story Asch Building. Within thirty minutes, 146 lives were lost, because of neglected safety features and locked doors. The fire is believed to have started by the careless use of a match from one of the cutters to get a smoke. Before ringing the fire alarm, the workers tried to extinguish the flames, but the flames quickly spread. It was the shirtwaists, hanging on lines about the workers, the sewing machines placed closely together, and the trimmings of cuttings and rags with littered the floors that spread the fire so quickly.

Once Brody arrived, he instantly wanted to get his safety belt. However, for this session, I decided to go without it. He was hesitant at first, but once he was in and the activities began, he did not even notice. He asked a few times for his blue belt, and I would reply with, “You don’t need that anymore’. He responded back instantly with, “Yeah, no more blue”. This is already a great start to getting him away from the belt, as he is realizing to himself that he can go without it. We began by taking laps side to side using the larger dumbbell. I was able to notice that he improved his kicking from the week before, and was also moving quicker. About 10 minutes through, we decided to use the flippers to help assist him with his kicking. With

There are several positive advancements that have been realized in fire emergency response over time. Benchmarking on the current status, the Houston Fire Department is likely to evolve in three key areas. First, technological advancement. At the moment, Project Ethan has brought a revolution in emergency response service. Project Ethan has been rolled out across the firehouses in the city. Project Ethan is a solution where people used video chats to communicate with medical doctors on emergencies and receive emergency care services. At the moment, referrals are made between 10am and 6pm on weekdays. From the trends seen with this product, many people are adopting this technology. As a matter of fact, there is a

Escape Fire, having the forethought and intuitive capacity in a time of crisis to embark on a decision that logistically seems impossible. As such, the current healthcare system is in a period of crisis and changes must be made. Additionally, the health system needs the inherent capacity of logical, capable and intuitive healthcare leaders to identify a break in the emerging threat. If the healthcare system continues in the direction that it is traveling, devastating results are sure to occur. While considering the titling of the movie and this assignment it appeared oddly connected to a healthcare course. However, after viewing the film the urgency of the situation depicts a comparable circumstance that the firefighters experienced in a time of uncertainty and risk (Heineman, Froemke, & Scott, 2012).

Body drag via duty belt - The responding officer will arrive to the casualty and make sure they are still alert and oriented. Have the casualty secure their fire arm and lay on their side. Grab the casualties’ belt line and start to drag them back to cover. This is good if you need to move someone quickly back to cover.

When talking with Casey he said, “The gait belts are highly important because when transferring a resident we have nothing to grab on. We don’t want to rely on the residents being able to stand up because a lot of the times their knees give out and they drop to the floor. We also don’t want to pull on the resident because it can hurt them. So without our belt we would be lost and probably hurting the residents.

The runner can have a lower impact of training on his/her body than running outside. There are some treadmill which are fabricated with cushioned belts. But some treadmills are made of rubber or urethane deck elastomers that can provide superior cushioning and durability than normal cushioned belts.

The object that I chose to discuss is the Leather Belt. This object came from one of the most well-known Native American tribes in the United States, the Navajo. The Navajo tribe was, and currently is, located within the four states of Arizona, Utah, New Mexico and Colorado - also known as the Four Corners of the southwestern United States. Many people in the region still speak the Navajo language, as well as English. The Leather Belt was originally made of leather and strapped with eight silver “conchas,” the Spanish word for shells.

The greatest threat facing the Modern Fire Service is the rate at which firefighters are dying in the line of duty. Excluding the terrible event of 9/11 that occurred in 2001 that forever changed the dynamics of the emergency response services1, firefighter deaths have averaged around 100 fatalities each year for the since 1990. This unacceptable rate of firefighter deaths has found its way to be a benchmark in the industry. The problem is that the benchmark should be zero firefighter deaths while on duty and every year that there is a fatality is a year that the fire service has failed its members. The number one cause of firefighter related deaths yearly is proven to be medical, stress, or overexertion related fatalities2. All of these causes of firefighter deaths can be avoided with implementation of training and awareness.

The seat belt is neatly made up of many materials such as polyester, fiber materials and coating materials. It is woven this way so that the passenger will feel comfortable when wearing a seatbelt. According to TAKATA, “The width of the webbing is about 48mm and has a tensile strength sufficient to support approximately three metric tons.” The seat belt is built to support any height, body structure, and weight. To make the seat belt move it has a built in retractor. The retractor helps it move efficiently
