Eric, nice job on that size up. You gave calm, clear and accurate information to incoming crews, and helped to do a 360/identifying hazards. That's pretty impressive for a PIO to assume that sort of roll when you're the first unit on scene. Bravo!

Hey Eric you did great at this fire scene! I'm glad that you identified the downed live wire and were able to relay that message to the rest of the crews on scene. Does your department place an orange reflective traffic/safety cone or something next to downed electrical wires so that it is easier for all emergency crews on scene to locate the hazard and stay away from it?

Might sound crazy but working on a film set has similarities to firefighting, running electrical lines of different sizes/voltage levels, moving equipment, working within departments but as a group, and being communicative to get the job done.

I would love to know, if a firefighter could build a safer home or apartment what would they do differently, because I’ve been interested in keeping my family’s home as safe from fires, so to me it would be so interesting to know, I watch these blogs to make my family’s home as safe as possible, Thank you so much, I would love update to what causes house fires. And GOD BLESS Every single firefighter out there.
@shyowl34534 ай бұрын
Hey so as a firefighter with a degree in construction here’s my recommendations, the big thing is having smoke detectors in at minimum your bedroom halls and kitchen but honestly the more rooms covered the better. Have fire extinguishers in the same rooms make sure to keep them in good working order and easy to find in a panic, keep and practice a fire plan with your family to know where to meet and what to do, maybe consider visiting your local firehouse (call first) to talk to them about fire safety and if you live in an apartment consider asking your landlord to set up a walkthrough with the local department. Also learn your pets favorite spots so IF you have time you know where to find them but never jeopardize your life for your pets life (not saying I don’t understand as I would gladly have given my life for my cat if he was still here, but I can’t recommend you do it) For apartments keep rope ladders in your rooms with windows so you have a form of egress, honestly if your family are experienced in rappelling a rope with a descender would be faster but thats a speed vs safety choice that’s up to you how comfortable you can do those skills under heavy stress. As far as construction practices, sprinklers are an amazing resource, often they can stop a fire before we on the engine can even get to you, I would also suggest keeping your electrical systems in good order and keeping flammable materials away from outlets (like couch’s and curtains) that also goes along with keeping your house clean and unnecessary clutter down to reduce risk of something growing unseen, keep your dryer vent tube clean and change it I’d say yearly but you could probably go longer in all honesty but check with he manufacturer recommendations for your dryer. If I was building from the ground up I would build out of a lot of metal and concrete, get fire resistant insulation and use a metal roof, personally for a small house I’d try to get all your wiring on one side of the house but I understand that’s not practical in most cases, also a simple thing is to design a house with wide hallways / doorways so we can get a stretcher in for medical calls or so we can move our hose around easier for fires, id also get lights near exits so you can find them in low visibility if a window isn’t an option. Most importantly above everything else is seeking knowledge and training, knowing what to do will help with panic decisions, practice with your family for your plan, go and use a fire extinguisher (preferably the same you are keeping in your house) so you know what range and duration to expect, learn about how Fire works and what to do (ie get low, feel doors before going out them, etc), the more you prepare, learn and practice the better off you will be. I don’t know if any of this will help you or if any of it made sense, this is just what came to mind thinking about this real quick

Sorry, Do Not agree! The first report back to dispatch and everyone on the way to the scene in this situation was the only right thing to do! Even if the first unit was an Engine with 9 crew (as it would be on most voluntary FDs here in Germany): The officer does his recce and reports back. The rest of the crew does preparitory work (if situation allowes) or stays put until the situation is properly evaluated! Full safety gear is mandatory as long as the safety perimeter is not defined and installed. (downed powerline, collapsing roof...) Come on out of your arm chair and join us!

SirBender Um yeah, you’re really not even close to being correct as an armchair firefighter. Eric is Blue Card certified allowing him to enter the warm zone with his PPE w/o SCBA to do an initial size up and 360 allowing the ladder to grab its own hydrant, which it needs to flow around 1250gpm and the second due to set another water supply as per command. Hazards were identified and living beings (cat) were rescued and resuscitated. If you’re going to harp on someone, know what you’re talking about before you set you’re own conviction. I’ve had the pleasure to meet some SMFR firefighters, and they are fantastic people, inside and outside of the firehouse.
