Inherently the fire service operates in high-risk environments to facilitate the role of preserving life safety and property conservation. How these incidents are managed and safeguarded by our administration

Some would say that one is better than the other and some the opposite. In this paper, we will learn the importance of both and the difference in both. A firefighter is a firefighter no matter what his/her salary, or their level of training.

The probie should consider him-self or her-self a sponge with an unquenchable thirst for knowledge. By the end of probation the firefighter needs to be a walking, talking encyclopedia of firefighter and fire service expertise. He must not only know the basics of firefighting, he expected to take it upon himself to know all the little details of all those basics that he has already or is learning about. He must learn about fire ground safety, tactics and operations. He must know every little detain about his apparatus and equipment. He should have a clear understanding of all ropes and knots, as well as how those ropes and knots can be used in certain rescue operations and tool

This applied research project will examine fire chief succession planning for Quilcene fire Rescue and how it can be accomplished. Applied

NIOSH found the following (2009) Ensure that fire fighters receive essential training consistent with national consensus standards on structural firefighting before being allowed to operate at a fire incident, develop, implement, and enforce written standard operating procedures (SOPs) for fireground operations, ensure that fire fighters are trained to follow the two-in/two-out rule and maintain crew integrity at all times, ensure that adequate numbers of apparatus and fire fighters are on scene before initiating an offensive fire attack in a

For years if not decades, firefighters have responded to a reported structure fire that turned out to be a fully involved single room. This fire scenario requires a core set of fire tactics and skills to control and extinguished the fire, but is it this simple? Perhaps twenty years it may have been, but new dangers are lurking in every scenario and may have detrimental outcomes for unsuspecting and unaware firefighters and victims. The National Institute of Science and Technology (NIST) agency along with the Underwriters Laboratory (UL) have been conducting research to understand fire behavior and fire dynamics. This research is providing firefighters with new information about how and why

Many fire service personnel that have fifteen or twenty years of service have seem many things change over time. One radical change is the way fires consume structures today when compared structures years ago, these fires have be classified as modern and legacy fires. When responding to a modern construction fire versus a legacy fire, does it change how we fight these fires? Well the answer to that is simply yes! Modern construction physiognomies have greatly changed to accommodate the comfort of the homeowner, which is not firefighter friendly. In modern construction home the floor plans are larger in size to give more living space. As the living spaces grow the footprint of the residence increases as well. As the word modern leads to occupants thinking comfort, when truthfully causes disadvantageous consequences for the fire service with open geometrics, new construction materials, and also include an increased fire load. All these construction advantages only lead to faster propagation of the fire, as well decreases the amount of time for a flashover to occur. Modern construction has led to hasty changes in fire dynamics, which at the same time decreases the amount of time to escape to safety. The structural collapse time is greater since the amount of time as been lessened

This paper will look at NFPA 472 and what it does to protect the FireFighter. NFPA 472 is a very interesting standard as it is the standard of competence of responders to hazardous materials/weapons of mass destruction incidents. The purpose of this standard is to specify the minimum effectiveness for those who respond to hazardous materials and WMD incidents and necessary for a risk based response to the incidents. Hazmat situations can be a very tricky situation with all the recently introduced acids and gasoline of the current era. NFPA 472 keeps the FireFighter safe and effective on duty.

Here I gained even more suppression and leadership experience.  I became an engine boss, firing boss, and incident commander type 4.  I was able to fight fires all over the country. Some of the regions I was able to fight fire in were the North West, South Texas, the south east, and California.  I was the acting captain on a number of off forest dispatches while the captain was on other assignments and gained great experience as a supervisor and leader receiving great evaluations from division superintendents, task force leaders, and district battalion chiefs.  During the 2009 season the Willamette national forest, southern cascades district of the Oregon department of forestry, and the Eugene district BLM established a type 3 team where I was given the assignment of primary division group supervisor.  Over the next three years the team responded to three major fires.  These fires were

Validity claims are deriving from the potentially unbalanced and discriminative approaches to determining ones capabilities through and within the City of Lakewood’s firefighter program. Claims of standardized equipment restricting the physical capabilities of one’s movement is effecting ones results, however, fire retardant boots and gloves are required for the protection of firefighters during the course of duty and should not be compromised. The main purpose is to ensure the individuals are mentally prepared, conditionally effective, and supplied with the abilities to endure prolonged periods of exposure to highly intensified situations. Although such requirements are demanding, strenuous and potentially hurtful, it is extremely vital that when delivering products of public

For many years, the fire service has been behind the times in scientific advancements in regards to fire tactics, fire behavior, and fire equipment. Through the investigation and experiments of the National Institute of Standards and Technology over the last few years, the fire service has seen enormous strides in research that has changed the mentality of the fire service for the better in my opinion. This paper will cover a little background of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), along with how NIST has changed the fire service for the better, and is NIST good for the fire service as a whole.

Chief Glenn Gaines (2012) argues that socioeconomic trends drive a need for decisive action to protect fire service quality, and offers solutions like

You asked the following question: “Q1) Please clarify what is meant by the last sentence in the hand book on section 8.15.3.1 "Combustible stair shafts must be entirely protected irrespective of storage capability or exterior location. Q2) Please clarify what A.8.15.3.1.2 means.” In response to your question we have reviewed NFPA 13, 2013 edition that you indicated as the applicable standard. Our informal interpretations are below.

Ever since growing up and being around the brave men that visited my school, I looked up to those people. Those men and women demonstrated public safety to my classes. Through the years, I've been influenced with small things like firetruck toys, mock accidents, movies, and even witnessing the best of men coming to save my house from fire. I want to have an experience that nobody can give me other than a fire department, but most importantly, teamwork and compassion for our fellow men and women. I understand there are a plethora of attributes that it takes to be a firefighter. I want to have the best training possible to benefit my community and team. I know that Boone County is an excellent place and I would love the chance to aid this

How burning fires start, better fireproof clothing, and technology equipment changing over years prove that progress saves lives and helps structure fires. Discovering the differences between past and modern helmets, changes in turnout gear , other equipment used to fight fires, plus researching the firefighting history.
