Ever thought about the risk that many families and friends take just by living in a house? That risk is fire. According to the State of Alabama Fire Marshal's Office last year in Alabama there were 100+ deaths caused by fires. A problem in Chelsea is that all of the fire hydrants have been painted blue! Most fires occur at night, and blue blends in very well with night, making hydrants hard to see, and when there is fire, seconds matter. By seeing a fire hydrant, only seconds before the firefighters did, many of those 100+ lives could have been saved. However, if volunteers paint the fire hydrants yellow, hydrants would be much easier to see. A large problem in Chelsea is the fire hydrants color; volunteers will paint the fire hydrants yellow …show more content…
this number was found by calculating an estimated 250 fire hydrants in Chelsea, and multiplying 250 by $114.07 (the cost to paint one hydrant), I researched this using: https://www.google.com/ http://www.milb.com/content/page.jsp?ymd=20120127&content_id=26491494&sid=t247&vkey=team1 http://www.metalinjection.net/its-just-business/earnings-attendance/earnings-attendance http://www.homedepot.com/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5RI6U1zjrM. This money will be raised by a Metallica concert at regions field in Birmingham, Al. Metallica makes about $4,000,000 a show. So if Chelsea even got only an eighth of the prophet Chelsea would get $500,000, and if regions field charges $250,000, Chelsea would be left with $250,000. This is more than enough money, and the rest of it would go to charity. Fire hydrants have been painted blue, volunteers will paint the hydrants yellow, and it will cost about $28K. Many fire hydrants in Chelsea have been painted blue, which makes Chelsea less safe, because hydrants are harder to see at night. The simple solution to this problem is to paint the hydrants yellow, but this will cost some money. Since there is an estimated 250 fire hydrants in Chelsea, and painting each hydrant costs about $114.07 and that multiplied by 250 equals $28,517.05 that will be funded by a concert. If the people of Chelsea can do this, than it will leave a safer, better community for more generations to
There is no doubting the talent in the younger divisions in this years Borough Cup but ever since the birth of the tournament in 2014 there seems to be a heightened attention when it comes to the U13 and U14 age divisions. Some say it’s the fact that the kids are bigger and more athletic, but who are we kidding? It is the fact that two teams from each division will have the chance to play for their respective championships and New York baseball supremacy at Yankee Stadium.
Firemen, while intimidating to the general public, are widely accepted and respected. This means that they serve as an embodiment of the public as a whole. In their hands fire is used to
Over the past couple of years, our small city of Granbury has seen a drastic spike in population. This recent growth has not only caused an unemployment crisis, but it also has influenced a greater risk of devastating fires for both homes and businesses. However, if the city of Granbury were to adopt full time fire departments, all citizens and businesses would benefit in numerous aspects. By adopting these full time departments, it is clear that our cities proficiency, productivity, and safety will increase greatly. There is a little over 400 volunteer firefighters at seven departments spread across Granbury. This not only means that these hard working heros do not receive a paycheck for their excruciating efforts, but it also reveals that these 400 firefighters are not stationed at their departments which indicates they must travel to the station to be able to then respond to a call causing a slow response time; opposed to career departments that always have their stations manned which is proven to generate a quicker response time. Not only do these full time departments ensure proper response times to emergencies, but they will also correspond with companies insurance codes which allow their franchises to be opened in cities only with these career departments. Many companies such as Target, Academy, Olive Garden, Main Event, etc… all require professional fire departments for their stores to be built in that city. Also, the lack of recreational opportunities prevent social

As for implementing these changes can cause some problems and issues, moreover this is time consuming process.
In Amherstview, Ontario, a life of a firefighter has passed away in a terrible fire accident. As a 45 year old man gets caught in a fire in his apartment a firefighter goes in his building hoping to get him out. The firefighters in Ontario have stated “the blackest smoke, I’ve ever seen.” as The firefighter going into the apartment room barely being able to see has trouble coming out. This time the smoke and fire beat the firefighter. Like honestly after the fire and when the smoke cleared out, the outside view of that apartment room was totally packed. It looked like a wall spray painted in black. This news happened to interest me because it was incredible how
The city is most vulnerable to urban fire, storm-water flooding, dam flooding, and extreme cold. However, extreme heat and cold are the city’s immediate concerns due to its concentrated urbanized population and measurable homeless. With extreme heat during the summer and cold during the winter being of significant concerns to the city, it is notable to highlight that the risk of urban fire ranks number one for several reasons. For instance, “In 2004-2009, the last year for which data was available, The Massachusetts Fire Incident Report System reported a total of 815 fires in Worcester. There were 4 deaths resulting from these fires, and a total of $35,370,024 in property loss” (CMRPC, 2012). Using these numbers as evidence, one can certainly confirm that urban fire is the top hazardous risk the city of Worcester faces in regards to economic risk factors. These fires pose an immediate threat to life, property and overall functionality of local
Most of these fires are due to poor building conditions, and the deaths and injuries are attributed to the lack of escape possibilities and fire safety measures. The American Red Cross in the Greater New York Region has been taking measures to alleviate this problem. The chapter participates in the organization’s Home Fire Preparedness Campaign, in which volunteers go around neighborhoods and install smoke alarms and and distribute fire-safety information. The campaign is very active in Bronx
This experience was definitely not what I expected it to be; Sterling is a small town and it always seems like there is nothing to do. However, not I see that it is looking to expand and incorporate many modern ideas into the old-fashioned community. In addition, I did not realize how many crucial issues the Council deals with on a daily basis (i.e. the marijuana bill). Although Sterling may be a smaller town, but a lot of government and other proceedings go on actively. Moreover, I expected a much longer meeting both times. The first time I understand there was not much to talk about; however, even for all the things covered in the second meeting, it went relatively fast. Maybe if I had stayed for the work session it would seem longer. Secondly,
Several years ago the was some major beef between two popular NFL players, Josh Norman, and Odell Beckham the golden child of the Detroit Wildcats. There have been several pay-to-injure scandals that come about in the NFL for many years including one with Josh Norman. If you remember years ago is was suspects Odell was taking place in a scandal against Norman when he plowed his head into the head of Norman that left his neck injured.
Today’s building construction also lends itself into the deaths of firefighters. We see everyday about building collapsing in on our guys while they are fighting fire. The builders and engineers are always coming up with lighter materials and cheaper ways to make things to save them money on construction to boost their bottom lines with out due regard for safety to others especially firefighters. A light weight wood frame truss will fail under fire conditions in a little as five to eight minutes. Given the time that the fire is discovered and called into dispatch, the time they have to turn the call around and dispatch units, one minute to get enroute, and if they can get on scene within five minutes, another couple of minutes to pull hose lines and enter the building, your are on the threshold of a roof collapse. Then we also put guys on the roof to ventilate thus weakening the roof even more. All this for a house that the insurance company is going to tear down anyway and
During the 1800’s Great Britain’s empire stretched around the world, and with raw materials easily available to them this way, they inevitably began refining and manufacturing all stages of many new machines and other goods, distributing locally and globally. However, despite being the central ‘workshop of the world,’ Britain was not producing the highest quality of merchandise. When comparing factory-made products made in England to surrounding countries, most notably France, those products could not compare as far as craftsmanship and sometimes, simply innovation. It was suggested by Prince Albert that England host a sort of free-for-all technological exposition to bring in outside crafts into the country and also
Imagine looking outside of a car and seeing a homeless person walking on the side of the road. That is one of the many people in Chelsea that don’t have a job and that is a problem. A solution to fix this problem in Chelsea is by building a new Publix. This solution will work because of how many people can work at Publix. Also there will not be hardly as many homeless people in Chelsea.
Among the most avant garde of Manhattan properties is the storied Hotel Chelsea, aka the Chelsea Hotel or simply the Chelsea. The 12 storied red brick ironwork 250 unit hotel located on 222 West 23 Street in Chelsea Manhattan has witnessed layers of New York's steamiest history and hosted some pretty notable residents from groundbreakers and rule-makers to the great, the good, the famous, and the infamous.
Fire prevention is a term being heard more and more today in America. It is starting to become a standard in today’s fire departments. Fire has the ability to keep us warm and also has the ability to make us homeless. As we grow as community and the technology changes, Fire Prevention needs to be made more of a necessity in our homes today. More homes are being built out of lighter material along with being built closer and closer together. Each can lead to extreme destruction, homes being lost, people being displaced, and even death. Why should we not protect homes and defend them against an enemy that can attack at any minute? Fire prevention needs to start in the home and then be carried onward in our lives. There are very
