Training in trade and industrial education enablesyoung men and women to prepare for initial employment in tradeor industrial occupations.In addition, it enables adults who are already employed to upgrade themselves and advance intheir chosen occupations, and retrains those who are temporarily unemployed. In the adult category, training is also providedfor public service personnel such as fire fighters, rescue and emergency personnel,peace officers, school bus drivers, custodial employees, hospital housekeepersand electric linemen. Thepurpose of this training is to upgrade the service renderedto the general public by increasing and provid- ing additional skills and/or knowledge. In the field of public service occupations,Ohio can be truly proud of the aid given local communities for the training of theirvolunteer and paid fire fighters, including the industrial brigade fire fighters, by the Trade andIndustrial Education Service. The train- ing received by local firemen has certainlyincreased their operating efficiency andno doubt has saved countless lives and thousands ofdollars in property losses since thepro- gram started in 1939. It has long been the policy of the Trade andIndustrial Education Service of the Division of Vocational Education, wheneverpossible, to utilize the personnel and services of the universities and colleges of thestate and local boards of education in providing needed training in the local communities.We appreciate the services of Kent State University, University of Cincinnati, The Ohio StateUniversity, University of Toledo, and themany local boards of education who formany years have cooperated with the Division of Vocational Education in providing fire department trainingto hundreds of communities in the State of Ohio. E. E. Holt, Superintendent of Public Instruction Byrl R. Shoemaker Director of Vocational Education iii tk, AN The Trade and Industrial Education Service, Division of VocationalEducation, has sponsored a program of fire department training since 1939.The training, over a period of 23 years, has been presented to 64,800 paid and volunteer firefighters in 2,061 training classes in the State of Ohio. EL The objectives of fire service have not changed greatlyover the last decade. In- creased emphasis, however, has been placed upon them in view of mounting firelosses in life and property throughout Ohio and the nation. The primaryobjectives of this training program as they apply to the local community are as follows: 1.To determine local, county, regional and state needs andto implement a program to adequately meet these needs on a continving basis. 2.To improve the competencies and skills of local fire personnel in thespe- cialized field of fire service. The state supervisor and the fire service training coordinators ofthe Trade and Industrial Education Service utilize the services of the StateFire Service Advisory Com- mittee in order to effectively achieve the above- stated objectives andto determine the prin- ciples and policies of the fire service trainingprogram and the manner in which it is con- ducted in Ohio. This advisory committee is composed of representativesof international and statewide organizations interested in fire protection and fire fighting.The organiza- tions represented are as follows: Association' of Ohio Fire Fighters Ohio Fire Chiefs Association Fire Marshal's Office Ohio Inspection Bureau International Association of Fire Fighters Ohio State Firemen's Association A comprehensive trainingprogram in all areas of fire fighting is currently in effect. The following types of trainin::5are now being conducted: Basic Training Emergency and Rescue Training Advanced Training Radiation Hazards Training Officer Leadership Training Special Training Human Relations Regional Fire Schools Conference Leadership State Fire School Effective Speaking Fire Prevention Instructor Training Arson Detection Industrial Brigade Training Public Service Employees iv The intent of this revised manual is to provide the necessary instructional material which will serve as an up-to-date and comprehensive source of information covering the practices and techniques of fire fighting in order to conductan effective and efficient fire service training program. It is our sincere desire that fire fighting personnel, officers and fire fighters, throughout the state will realize the ultimate benefits to he gained by use of this manual and adaptation of it to local training situations.

  • The Art of Reading Smoke for Rapid Decision Making
    The Art of Reading Smoke for Rapid Decision Making Dave Dodson teaches the art of reading smoke. This is an important skill since fighting fires in the year 2006 and beyond will be unlike the fires we fought in the 1900’s. Composites, lightweight construction, engineered structures, and unusual fuels will cause hostile fires to burn hotter, faster, and less predictable. Concept #1: “Smoke” is FUEL! Firefighters use the term “smoke” when addressing the solids, aerosols, and gases being produced by the hostile fire. Soot, dust, and fibers make up the solids. Aerosols are suspended liquids such as water, trace acids, and hydrocarbons (oil). Gases are numerous in smoke – mass quantities of Carbon Monoxide lead the list. Concept #2: The Fuels have changed: The contents and structural elements being burned are of LOWER MASS than previous decades. These materials are also more synthetic than ever. Concept #3: The Fuels have triggers There are “Triggers” for Hostile Fire Events. Flash point triggers a smoke explosion. Fire Point triggers rapid fire spread, ignition temperature triggers auto ignition, Backdraft, and Flashover. Hostile fire events (know the warning signs): Flashover: The classic American Version of a Flashover is the simultaneous ignition of fuels within a compartment due to reflective radiant heat – the “box” is heat saturated and can’t absorb any more. The British use the term Flashover to describe any ignition of the smoke cloud within a structure. Signs: Turbulent smoke, rollover, and auto-ignition outside the box. Backdraft: A “true” backdraft occurs when oxygen is introduced into an O2 deficient environment that is charged with gases (pressurized) at or above their ignition temperature.

  • "Using Fire Extinguishers"
    PRESENTER'S GUIDE "USING FIRE EXTINGUISHERS" Part of the General Safety Series Quality Safety and Health Products, for Today... and Tomorrow OUTLINE OF MAJOR PROGRAM POINTS OUTLINE OF MAJOR PROGRAM POINTS The following outline summarizes the major points of information presented in the program. The outline can be used to review the program before conducting a classroom session, as well as in preparing to lead a class discussion about the program. You've probably heard the best way to fight a fire is to prevent it, and that's true. — But accidents do happen and fires do start. — When this occurs in a workplace, you or a coworker will often be the first to respond, and fire extinguishers become the first line of defense. Fire extinguishers can enable you to act quickly and effectively to protect people and your facility. — So you need to understand the equipment, as well as how to use it. Fire extinguishers are designed to put out small fires before they grow out of control. — Putting out fires with an extinguisher isn't always easy. — It can be hazardous if you go about it in the wrong way. To use an extinguisher effectively it’s helpful to know what causes things to burn. — Fire always needs three ingredients, fuel, oxygen and heat. The "fuel" is any material that will burn, including: — Combustible solids such as wood, paper, cardboard and some metals. — Flammable and combustible liquids such as gasoline, toluene and some solvents and cleaning solutions. — Ignitable gases such as propane and natural gas. 1 Next, a fire must be in an environment where there is oxygen that it can "breathe".

  • Cosumnes Fire Department History
    COSUMNES FIRE DEPARTMENT HISTORY The rich history of the Cosumnes Community Services District (District) dates back 127 years to the establishment of three districts: the Elk Grove Fire Protection District (1893), the Galt Fire Protection District (1921), and the Elk Grove Recreation and Park District (1936), which combined in two phases. In 1985, the Elk Grove Fire Protection District and Recreation and Park District merged to form the Elk Grove Community Services District. The Galt Fire Protection District merged with the Elk Grove Community Services District in 2006 to form today’s District, which takes its name from the nearby Cosumnes River. The following is a chronological history of the Cosumnes Fire Department, with the Elk Grove and Galt’s Fire Department’s history listed prior to the merger. ELK GROVE FIRE DEPARTMENT 1892 – 2006 • After a series of fires destroyed all but two buildings on Main Street in 1892, a group of citizens who started the Elk Grove Water Company, constructed an 80-foot water tower on Elk Grove Boulevard. The tank held 45,000 gallons of water, and 3,500 feet of water main was laid east and west on Elk Grove Boulevard, and five fire hydrants were installed. The Elk Grove Water Company conceived the idea of forming a Fire Department. • In 1893 the Elk Grove Fire Department was founded with a single hose cart and a small group of dedicated volunteers. • In 1897 a hose cart shed, hose drying tower, and fire bell were installed to alert the volunteer firefighters, special ordered from San Francisco. It was erected in the hose-drying tower located east of the Southern Pacific Depot.
