Fire Experience Analysis

One could say the Fire Service possess one unique quality about how it operates daily and that is the culture and the community that lies within every department. Culture is defined as defined by Miriam-Webster “the integrated pattern of human knowledge, belief, and behavior that depends upon the capacity for learning and transmitting knowledge to succeeding generations (Definition of Culture, 2017, para. 5).” The many diverse aspects of each department in still’s a variety of cultural differences separating one department from the next. At the heart of all departments, fire service culture is the men and women who work and train hard to serve their communities as prescribed by the Fire Chief. The Fire Chief, however,

The importance of accountability in the fire service is paramount. Whether it is being on time to school or handing my accountability tag to the officer at the front of a burning building, the imprint that the fire academy made on me with regards to accountability is prodigious. I do my best every day to be accountable for myself because I know that if I cannot hold myself accountable I cannot be a leader in the classroom, on the athletic field, or in my community. Although I have not been in the fire service for a long time, it is abundantly clear that helping my community and helping people are not always invigorating experiences. Even though the majority of calls are false alarms or routine incidents, it is importance that the community feels safe. Being a part of the fire department allows me to instill a sense of security in people because they know that even on the worst day of their life someone will be there to help them. Even on the worst day of someone’s life he or she can smile because of a simple action of either saving pictures or helping them cover valuable items when water is being sprayed into their home. I have learned that simple acts of kindness can completely change someone’s mood and I have implemented this

The phrase “We are carrying the fire” is important in this book as it symbolizes many messages, one of these messages is hope. I feel that this is an important message because it is the thing that keeps the two going, even when times are tough. An example this is when they are running low on food, and the boy asks if they would ever need to eat other humans. The man reassures him that they would not eat anybody else, then goes on to explain how they are the good people and they are indeed carrying the fire. This was one of the first times this phrase was used in the book, and possibly also the most important. I feel that this is one of the most important because it also shows the man’s philosophy of life and how he feels that even though the

Firefighter Lee has to learn to consult his manual before he asks his commanding officer's advice. Firefighter Hendricks should of aggressively pursued additional training when the Captain innovated this program. Before Firefighter Johnson takes the June 2007 exam, he will have passed several shorter tests. Recruit Henandez could have been the best student at the fire academy if he had studied

According to Everyone Goes Home “Fire command must carefully measure and control risks to save valuable property that can be saved.” Every life is valuable whether that be the victim to be saved or the firefighter there to save. A fireground must be evaluated properly before rushing in. When a fire becomes out of saving measures, firefighters should not be put at risk to save a lost cause. If there can be no good outcome, then there is no need to make the situation worse by sending a team in on a failed mission. Officers must take into account that every life is valuable, no matter the person or circumstance. The best outcome will always be that with the most people alive. Firefighting is a life saving commitment, but risk management puts into perspective that the firefighters have their own lives to protect as well.

What is a firefighter? He or she is the person next door. He or she is just like you and I, with all the worries, stresses, and unfulfilled dreams. Yet they stand taller than most of us. They are, after all, a firefighter. Men and women who can make holding your hand feel like it’s the biggest thing in the entire world when they’re saving you or your loved ones. They have a gentle touch because they have seen the unbelievable power of violence out of control. They respond to a child 's laughter with joy because they, themselves, have held all too many small limp bodies that will never laugh again. In order for them to do the brave and heroic job they do, these men and women need special equipment to help keep them safe in the line of duty

15 If someone has read all of this information and still want to join this line of work, then they should not have any fear about finding a job. Even though fire preventive technology is constantly changing, there will always be a need for a firefighter. Medical situations can occur. (OKCIS) Wrecks also still happen. There will also always be that one cat that gets stuck up in a tree. Firefighters will always be needed.

Firefighters are responsible for protecting people 's lives and property from the hazards of fire and emergencies. Firefighters do more than just put out fires, they respond to different medical calls such as traffic accidents, and just other emergencies where they are normally the first on the scene. The first permanent firefighting company in the United states was formed by Benjamin Franklin in philadelphia in 1706 (Cosgrove). From horse drawn steam hand pumped engines to state of the art computer operated fire apparatus, the fire service is a constantly evolving career field. Advances in technology and tactics continually evolve to make emergency operations safer for responders and the people they serve. Now days,

As a Lieutenant in the Northfield Village Fire Department I was responsible to respond to and supervise fire suppression and medical emergency duties by evaluating situations, supervising and coordinating operations, ensuring personnel safety, coordinating emergency incident response, conducting overhaul operations to minimize smoke and fire damage, determining cause. During emergency and training operations I worked closely with other department coordinating emergency operations using the incident command system. I was also responsible for preparing and provide training classes for station personnel, completing fire and EMS reports, preparing correspondence and maintaining personnel records.

Without the fireground commander there is no game plan and it will look as if they are a bunch of monkeys on a playground. Fireground Commander, Incident Commander, and the Firehouse Chief are technically all the same job, but they have just a few separate duties such as, where to put things, who does what, what does what, where to go in an emergency and how to do things right. Firefighting hasn’t been my whole life choice, I grew accustomed to it by taking this Warren Tech Central Campus class and by talking to family members about being in the service. My family has been all around the service board, My uncle told me that when he was a firefighter, they had hand tools and they got very used to working hands on with everything that they did in their life, they preferred hand tools over any type of power tool. In the past firefighters had to use knowledge and strength to do a lot of their work, nowadays they have amazing holmatro tools, these are tools made from a company specifically for firefighters that can take apart a whole car in under 10 minutes, the technology gets better and better for firefighters. A lot of people think firefighting is easy and anyone can be a firefighter. False. It takes a strong hearted person with the motivation and will to do this job, It can’t just be someone off the streets wanting to be a firefighter. Firefighters have gone worldwide everywhere and all play a big part in what has made our world this way for the

Knowledge of fire control techniques, practices, and fire behavior gained while directly working on the fireline through a variety of climates, fuel types, terrain, and complexities.

“When a man becomes a fireman his greatest act of bravery has been accomplished. What he does after that is all in the line of work.” (Croker). People around the world see tragedies as a loss or chaos, but firefighters see those times as opportunities to help and save people. When you have the passion to help and save people, firefighting is not always the first choice.

The purpose of this field manual (FM) is to provide a source for the most current essential information about fire support at the battalion task force and company team levels and discuss the technical, operational, and organizational aspects of observed fire procedures.

In English Class, I have to re-imagine that there’s a fire, and I need to decide what three things I would save in a fire that has meaning to me. My first thought was to save my family, but I have to choose an item that means a lot to me. Therefore, the three things I choose to save in the fire is the Holy Quran, a picture of my family, and all my headscarves.

The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health will not change legislation regarding safety in the near future.
