Prudent Fire Chief Research Paper

Matthew E. Barnes was a firefighter who could be called many things including a hero, a friend, a husband, a father and even an angel. The story begins like many 9/11 stories do, with the planes being hijacked, he was one of the men working that day in the New York City Fire Department that would go into the World Trade Center, but would never come out. The 37-year old resident of Monroe, New York was a father to three boys and the husband to Ms. Susan Barnes; he would spend all his available time with his family, somehow slipping out of chores and such just to go fishing with his boys. Two years before the 9/11 he had saved two twins, Isabella and Jacob Kalodner from a fire in their mother, Linda Kalodner’s apartment, by climbing up a 100-foot aerial ladder to the 10th story to save the 6 week old twins.

The Chicago fire was a huge part of our history. We can never forget about the Chicago fire because it changed how some people lived. The Chicago fire affected people in many ways. Many people had an idea about how the fire started, where it started and who caused it. It took years to rebuild what had been destroyed, the effect of the chicago fire was remarkable.

The rising number of high severity wildfires in California has significant ecological, economic, and health impacts. Many western American forests are adapted to frequent low severity fires. However, the majority of these forests, and particularly the mixed conifer forests of California, are not adapted to high intensity fires and do not possess fire resistance adaptations such as serotinous cones to protect seeds. Consequently, high severity fires have significant negative impacts on California forests, and the absence of low severity fires has considerably altered many fundamental ecosystem processes (Miller et al. 2008). Prior to 1900, low severity fires would burn every 6-15 years. Low severity fires are generally non-lethal, have minimal change to the overstory, and kill mainly small trees. In the past, these fires were started naturally by lightning, or by Native Americans who used low severity fires to manage the forests.

In October 8, 1871,Chicago,Illinois was a city ready to burn by the nightmare of wood.

In 1957 the National Association of Fire Chiefs made the recommendation to use a single number to report fires within a community. Approximately 10 years later in 1967 the President's Commission on Law Enforcement and Administration of Justice made the same recommendation that a single number should be used to report all emergency situations and it should be used across the entire nation. This recommendations were made because prior to the 911 system citizens in communities across the country were forced to dial a specific seven digit number in order to reach the providers of fire and law enforcement services within their communities to report an emergency. Then following, these recommendations

Truly the Fire Chief should not be involved with the Union contract negotiations for two reasons. First being, that the Chief is not represented by the union, nor is their contract follow the provision that are a result of negotiations by the union and city. Being a salaried employee of the city, the Chief negotiates their own contract and is responsible to abide to the provisions of the contract. Which if negotiated could include language that excepts the Chief from participating on either side of the contact negotiations. Secondly, the Fire Chief is a representative of the department and its personnel, so for the Chief to be on the side of the city or locality. This could cause conflict within the department ranks and create a situation where

On or 6/17 the CIW Fire Dept was down to 2 “trained inmates” Leaving us 3/0 Staffed . Fire Chief Joel Johnson had the CIW Fire Department start doubling up fire captains on 6/20. At Noon on 6/20 central control contacted us via land line that there was a trash can fire between visiting and the Admin building. Being that this was the weekend the inmates had the day off and we do not house inmates at the fire house. Capt Smith and myself responded to the fire alone . When we arrived at scene we had heavy smoke and fire showing from 40 yard roll off dumpster with immediate exposure threat to the admin building which encompasses the Out Patient Housing Unit, Other direct exposures were 2 additional 40 yard roll offs dumpsters that were also over

After the dreadful attacks of 9/11/01 I Dan Mcwilliams and 2 other firefighters restored America’s patriotism and pride. That fateful day George and I were racing to the attack site when I spotted a American flag hanging on a yacht indocked in the Hudson river. “Gimme a hand, will ya George?” i said trying to get the flag down luckily my childhood friend Billy Eisengrien was nearby he exclaimed “You need a hand?”.

Continuing with the theme pf department promotional processes, Michael High’s presentation, Promotional Process, provided a glimpse into the North Star Volunteer Fire Department (NSVFD). His evaluation of the promotional process showed that the overall process was the same for paid and volunteer members. Interestingly the fire department has used career positions to develop a core staffing consisting of some lower level position, but mostly staffing officer level positions. Their promotional process is largely based on time served in a current position and educational requirements for the promotional position. These requirements were described to be listed in the department’s Standard Operating Procedures. It was Michael’s presentation that

On Saturday, September 16, a scorching fire of flaming hot cheetos erupted in Taffadilia, WA at, as local officials believe, approximately 8:15 PM. This devastating fire has destroyed the homes of many pitiful townspeople such as Carl Crackerjack, Pauline Picklestein, Jennifer Juiceman, and Sam Sausager. This daunting fire stripped these poor people of their homes and belongings, rendering them penniless with nothing but the clothes on their backs’ and the depressing remains of what they once had.

The Chicago Fire have just lost their 4th straight MLS game, losing to a tired D.C United 1-0 at home. It’s put the team into dead last of the league standings, and 5 games below .500. Since the East is so bad, Chicago is only 6 points off of a playoff spot, but they have a lot of work to do if they want to catch up. In past years, the Fire just haven’t had players that were good enough. This season is different, however. Chicago has players of top quality, like Accam, Shipp and Maloney. The issue is with coaching.

However, I believe that with the help of special interest groups and advocates speaking with representatives that with enough movement the issue can be discussed. Another major issue that may arise once there is a requirement for departments to incorporate a health and wellness is compliance. However, I feel like this was a similar challenge that was a concern when NIMS was enforced to create interoperability. Like the NIMS implementation I believe that creating a more firefighter focused fire service will be supported by enough departments that it can be successful carried out. The last obstacle that may occur is funding grants for firefighter survival training. To overcome this challenge there may need to be a change of focus in funding opportunities in the emergency services to support the betterment of those serving the communities around the
