Class 04-09 ndash Volunteer Fire Service Culture Essential Strategies for Success 4hr Class offered Fri PM amp Sat AM

Class Description Firefighting is one of the most physically and mentally demanding jobs that an individual is asked to perform Each year an average of 100 firefighters die and more than 70000 are injured in the line of duty while training responding to or returning from an emergency incident or on an actual emergency scene

The volunteer fire service has existed for over 200 years and is steep in traditions It is those traditions that have created a culture that often drives these brave firefighters to place their own health and safety at risk because of a desire to help others Today a new paradigm is being developed that strives to change that culture and reduce the line of duty death and injury statistics

The National Volunteer Fire Council published the text ldquoVolunteer Fire Service Culture ndash Essential Strategies for Successrdquo as a guide to volunteer fire service leaders who desire to change the culture and attitude towards personal health and safety This workshop utilizes this text to reinforce the need for change and provides a roadmap to implement change

Topics

bull Size Up Metro Engine 1 is on scene at a two-story type 5 multifamily dwelling Heavy fire showing Alpha Bravo corner division 1 I will be conducting a 360 and preparing for a transitional attack Strike a second alarm and Ill be establishing 461ST command 15 seconds can say a lot The first report paints the picture and prepares incoming crews for the challenges ahead From our size-up we can develop the most appropriate strategy and tactics to ensure that the incident runs safely and efficiently PS Dont forget the thermal camera its not just for interior operations anymore

bull Primary Search Life safety is the number one priority at any incident a firefighter responds to which is why a primary search is one of the most vital tasks completed during the initial stages of a structure fire This class will teach participantrsquos techniques that will help them accomplish a primary search quickly and aggressively It starts with a quick size up looking for opportunities of rescue then quickly and smoothly search the building as a team based on what the building is telling you The class will also reinforce the importance for firefighters to have an ldquoexpect rescuesrdquo mindset every time they roll out for a structure fire

bull Forcible entry Forcible entry has become a lost art Halligan bars and flat head axes have been replaced by size 12 boots and shoulder techniques This down and dirty station will cover the basics of making short work of any door simply using the mechanical advantage of a halligan bar paired with a flat head axe Learn the muscle memory of gap set force as explained in the FDNY forcible entry guide for inward opening residential doors and never be left at the door without ideas again Multiple opportunities will be available to help you with the recognition primed decision making needed when there are people trapped and its 3am Come ready to break stuff

bull Hose Advancement Placing proper sized hose lines between a fire and potential victims is one of the most efficient ways to achieve the incident objective of life safety This is especially true in situations with limited man power This portion of the class will be based on the theory ldquoPut the fire out and everything gets betterrdquo We will discuss how much water it actually takes to put out any given fire no more guessing Be ready to stretch lines and flow water
