Safety Officer - A Day in the Life

[@Jimboco7654]

dude complains about some faux collapse zones yet just walked right thru them. Gimme a break. with all the money these fockers have . What a joke at that fire at 12 min mark. Come one maaaann. I know very progressive volunteer departsment that would run circles around these guys with less money and just as safe..

[@jakemakesthings9955]

@@kissanruokaait’s surprising how used to it you get, knowing that to do helps. The structure at 10:59 is a very large fire and not a everyday occurrence, at least not in my area 😂You also have people like the saftey officer who watch over the operation especially if you’re new, you get to basically get paired up with someone. My first time out on a call (where I actually got out of the vehicle) I was paired with the oldest active member of our department (literally has been active in the dept as long as my mom has been alive) and I stayed “on his hip” the whole time. Joining a department is one of the most rewarding things I have ever done and has literally changed my life. If your area has a volunteer fire dept and you are under 18 look at joining an explorer program if your over look at joining a department.

Absolute truth, never stop learning. I’ve been doing this for 30 plus years, the one constant is that I realize how ignorant I am. Surround yourself with the best and brightest, if they aren’t, you are failing them.

[@AuthorX303]

I've had the privilege to work and learn, despite being a firefighter outside of South Metro. I really apperciate how he still has a love and a passion for the Job and a drive to be consistently better. I hope that one day that I'm able to have that discipline and be as humble as he is. He truly has a heart of gold and a sense of humor that lights up a room. You're awesome Lieutenant Sinnett 👊

The man understands his job very well and the part that he says about his family being his Rock is absolutely correct.

[@jfournerat1274]

360 size ups at emergencies like fires are very important for first responders as it helps inform them on something that they might not see that could be dangerous. Here are some examples. Scenario 1. Firefighters respond to a building fire with smoke showing. When they do the 360 size up they find that the fire is either in the basement or in the roof or attic or potentially in structural supports. It is important that they see that as if the fire is in the roof or in structural supports or in the attic there is a potential for either a roof collapse or a structural collapse. In addition if the fire is in the basement there is a possibility that the floors above could collapse thus causing firefighters to fall into the basement. In that case the firefighters should go defensive operation where they order all firefighters to evacuate the building immediately and then meet in a safe area far away from the potential collapse area and then fight the fire from outside. Scenario 2. Firefighters respond to a building fire. When they do the 360 size up they find that there are windows that are boarded up and that there are large holes inside the building. It is important that they see that because they are indicators that it is a vacant or abandoned building which has many dangerous hazards including unstable floors, the danger of falling through the holes, unstable roofs or walls, and unstable buildings that may collapse at any time. In that case you should immediately go defensive operation and immediately order all of the firefighters to evacuate and then go to a safe area far away from the collapse zone and then fight the fire from outside.

[@jfournerat1274]

Other examples of the importance of 360 size ups. Scenario 3. Firefighters or first responders respond to a building fire or another emergency. When they do the 360 size up they find someone or something suspicious such as someone walking towards the emergency with a knife or gun or someone near the scene for no good reason or their gut or instincts tell them that something is up and after checking to make sure it was safe they then find out that the suspicious person had set the building on fire in a attempt to lure first responders into the scene to target them. It is important for them to see that as there have been cases where people set buildings or vehicles on fire or injured people or did other emergencies in a attempt to lure first responders into the scene to attack and injure or kill them. In that case be extremely cautious and if you have any doubt about you or the person you are trying to help or your crews safety immediately leave the area and let the police handle it as they are properly trained and equipped to deal with those situations. Scenario 4. Ems responders respond to a call about a stabbing or shooting and the first responders do not know what caused the shooting or stabbing. After doing a 360 size up they see a suspicious person with a knife or gun either at the scene or arriving at the scene for no good reason and find out that the shooting and stabbing was a intentional attack and then eventually deduce that the suspicious person was the one who stabbed or shot the person which is eventually proven to be correct. It is important for them to see that as there have been cases where the attackers then target first responders including ems to prevent them from helping the victims. In that case immediately leave the area and leave the situation to the police to handle as they are properly trained and equipped to handle it and do not renter the scene until it is confirmed by a police officer that the attacker has been dealt with and that it is safe to reenter the scene. Scenario 5. Ems responds to a report of headaches and the first responders do not know what caused the headaches. After doing the 360 size up they notice something strange such as multiple people suffering headaches or multiple people being unconscious or smelling a rotten egg smell. It is important for them to see that as if there are multiple people suffering headaches or being unconscious it is a good sign that there is either a gas leak or carbon monoxide in the area which are very dangerous and potentially deadly for those affected by them and gas leaks and carbon monoxide are extremely flammable and explosive meaning that one spark will cause a fire or explosion. In the case of a gas leak there is also ocassinaly the sign of a rotten egg smell. In that case immediately evacuate the area and call the gas company as they are properly trained and equipped to deal with those hazards. Unlike gas leaks however Carbon Monoxide is ordorless, colorless, and tasteless so the only signs of carbon monoxide may be multiple people suffering headaches, dizziness, vomiting, weakness, upset stomach, chest pain, or confusion for no good reason, and multiple people being unconscious. In that case immediately evacuate the area and call the gas company as they are properly trained and equipped to handle it and if you have been exposed to it immediately go to the hospital as soon and fast as possible. Scenario 6. First responders respond to a explosion but it is not known what caused it. After doing the 360 size up they see something suspicious as it smells like chemicals, is near the evacuation area or first responder area or exit routes or near the triage area for no good reason, has a ticking sound, and has suspicious wires in it. It is important for them to see that as bombings and terriost attacks are common causes of explosions and there have been cases where terriosts used secondary explosive devices to target first responders and survivors. In that case immediately evacuate the area and call the bomb squad as they are properly trained and equipped to handle it. Scenario 7. First responders respond to a explosion that was caused by a bombing. After doing the 360 size up they see someone suspicious as instead of being in the crowd they are leaving the scene for no good reason or they see a suspicious person entering the scene for no good reason. It is important for them to see as there have been cases of sucide bombers entering the scene to target first responders and survivors. In this case immediately evacuate the area and call the police and bomb squad as they are properly trained and equipped to handle it. Scenario 8. After a storm first responders respond to a car accident where there are downed trees nearby. After doing the 360 size up they see downed power lines that were hidden by the trees. It is important for them to see this as downed power lines are extremely dangerous and deadly. Even if they do not look like they are live they may still be live and if you get too close to the power line then you will be electrocuted. In that case immediately evacuate the area and call the power company as they are properly trained and equipped to handle it. Do not reenter the scene until the power company confirms that the power lines are no longer live and that it is safe to reenter the scene. There are of course other hazards that the 360 size up may locate including oncoming traffic or hazardous materials or broken glass or unstable vehicles or leaking fuel or leaked fuel.
