Paul Carpenter Research Paper

His personality is different from other firefighters. He isn’t intimidating and doesn’t necessarily think that burning books is good. I do like Montag, but I’m waiting for him to make up his mind about whose side he’s on.

     The fire spread from the O’Learys’ barn to the yards nearby. Soon it was spreading throughout the neighborhood. William Lee, a neighbor a block away, saw the fire and ran to Bruno Goll’s drugstore to turn in the fire alarm. Bruno Goll refused to turn in the alarm because he said the fire truck had already gone past. So instead of arguing, Lee went home to his family. At the courthouse the lookout on duty saw smoke, but thought nothing of it, thinking it was just Saturday's fire and there was no reason to be alarmed. Then he looked up and noticed it was a different fire and had his assistant strike the Box 342 for the fire department. Soon fire trucks were at the scene and attempted to put out the fire. The fire department’s Chief Marshal, Robert A. Williams got the engines to circle the fire to contain it. They got as close to the fire as they could until their arm hair was being burned and their

“’Police Alert. Wanted: Fugitive in city. Has committed murder and crimes against the State. Name: Guy Montag. Occupation: Fireman. Last seen . . .’” (p. 117) Guy is now on the run and wanted for arrest. If Guy is trying to hide from the police I’m not sure that he and Faber will be able to go through with their plan because it would be extremely risky to break into another firefighter’s home or visit Faber without being caught. Even if Faber was to go through the plan himself, his old age might prevent him from being able to break in to any firefighter’s

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,

He is only the fire chief. He is the closeted to the books and the quote on quote people haven't even seen a book in their lives.

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

Guy Montag is a fireman who burns books and follows all of the rules. He likes his job “It was a pleasure to burn” (pg 3). Montag enjoys his job so deeply that he “grinned the fierce grin of all men singed and driven back by flame” (pg 4). He follows the ideas of society, does not question the government, and tries not to be the odd one out. When he meets his new neighbor, Clarisse, she gets him to think about himself as a fireman and says “So many people are. Afraid of firemen” (pg 6), which tells us that firemen have mediocre popularity among the public.

Sapulpa Fire Department was on scene upon my arriving. Firemen Greg Tallman, Josh Briscoe, Darin Groom, and Travis Victory were present. Capt. Tallman stated an unknown man was providing CPR upon their arrival. Capt. Tallman stated he did not get the name of the man. Capt. Tallman stated they attached an AED to the deceased. Capt. Tallman stated they did not

The Council Bluffs (IA) Fire Department was formed on January 5, 1883 by resolution of the city council to establish a full-time, paid department. Prior to 1883, the citizens of Council Bluffs had been protected from fire by several different volunteer fire companies. The first such company, known as Hook & Ladder 1, was formed after a conflagration destroyed most of the town on November 14, 1854 (Petersen, 1992). Between 1854 and 1883, the department grew in size, purchasing steam pumpers in 1868 and 1880. The city grew as well, expanding from a population of 2,011 in 1860 to 18,063 in 1880. In 1918, the firemen of the CBFD organized and became a charter member of the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF), Local 15. This is an affiliation that the labor force of the CBFD still maintains today.

During the month of October, 2008 we lost another fire fighter in a residential structure fire. The Victim was a 24 Y/O male fire fighter from Alabama who had been a volunteer with the department for two years. The firefighter training seemed to be standard for a new volunteer in the area which he served. As always it is tragic to lose a fire fighter and as always we try to learn from it.

The firemen chief, Captain Beatty, is one major authoritative power over the main character. For example, Captain Beatty lies to Guy Montag by saying that firemen have always begun fires, not put them out (51). This leads Guy to think that

access to medical care helped him to address the issue. Having surgery corrected the problem

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

Airman First Class David J. Sutton distinguished himself by outstanding achievement as a Pass and Registration Technician, 95th Security Forces Squadron, Altitude Air Force Base, Colorado. During this period, while taking a run through a local park, Airman Sutton noticed a forest fire, and without hesitation sprinted into action to notify the fire department. Furthermore he heroically evacuated six distressed citizens from a burning complex, and diligently directed the rescue units to the scene. Finally Airman Sutton courageously assisted the firefighters in extinguishing the fire with no casualties. The distinctive accomplishments of Airman Sutton reflect great credit upon himself and the United States Air
