Welcome to 2021, the year full of hope and potential. I am pleased and proud to let you know that the board of directors are working hard to find answers to provide training to any and all who need or want it.
As I am sure everyone is aware the spring training symposium is not going to occur due to continuing Covid 19 concerns, however we are holding onto the hope that there may be a opportunity in this year to return to a training symposium of some description.
There are options available for training at your fire hall. We have a large pool of instructors willing to come to your hall to offer the same training that we offer at the symposiums, just at your hall. Currently we are suggesting we remain in our cohorts of our own members, but this can still work and give your members the opportunity to train and hone their skills. If you have any questions or training requests, just send a email or call Michelle to put you in touch with a instructor that is able to come to your hall.
I will close now; I realize that everyone is tired of any and all talk about the pandemic and as such I will leave you with this thought:
In these days where we have people trying to erase and sanitize our history, I believe we only become stronger by embracing our past, with all of its flaws, and learning from the past and moving ahead. I disagree with sanitizing the past. The things that were done are done and we can always improve and move forward but remembering the history. As a much wiser person said “Those that forget the past are condemned to repeat it”, we have had a rich history in fire service and we have always looked at our history with a critical eye and moved forward and improved. Let us all try to move ahead positively while remembering the errors made as we move ahead.
Yours in firefighting,
Doug Lapchuk

Wildland firefighting
As I write this, Region 1 wildland fire season has begun. I chose the topic of Wildland firefighting as we all have these calls.
In our region, like most regions, the spring wildland fire season is different than the fall wildland fire season. In spring the ground is wet, and or still thawing but the hot sun dry’s the grass and will start on fire. Our fall wildland fires have a tendency of everything being dry. Fall wildland fires seem to burn hotter and faster!
As you can see in the picture, it is recommended to attack all wildland fire from the burnt area. This is the safest area for us. Always work with a partner and always be aware of your surroundings, wind direction can change suddenly and put you in a vulnerable situation. When possible, it is always best to attack the fire from the flanks and work towards the head of the fire.
This picture shows the parts of a wildland fire. What I wanted to point out is, don’t get tunnel vision while fighting these fires, we can focus so much on the task at hand and get our selves in a situation we are not prepared for. Like I said always work in pairs and pay close attention to the figures of the fire as they can and will surround you instantly! Spot fires can be equally as dangerous because they will show up anywhere and at any time.
Wildland firefighting should never be fought from the top of hills, this includes coulee valleys. For every 10 degrees of upslope the fire will increase its forward rate of speed. The picture below illustrates this. If you cannot effectively attack the fire from the flanks it is best to allow the fire to climb the valley wall and once it crests the valley you can continue your process of putting out the fire. If possible, while waiting for the fire to crest the valley you could be wetting down the top of the hill and or plowing a ridge creating a fire break of sorts.
Proper PPE while fighting wildland fires is critical in your safety. Boot, gloves, helmet, goggles coveralls make a great grass fire suit. During the hot summer months of wildland fires, these keep you cooler than bunker gear, but also safe from the fire. As a reminder, after any fire call where you are actively participating in extinguishing the fire, it is recommended that you take a cold shower, so you can open up your pores and once you are rinsed clean, shower in hot water to open your pores and clean them out as well. This should happen soon after you return to the hall.
Many departments have been using Backpack Blowers to aid in extinguishing wildland fires. It is a great tool when used in tandem with a fire swatter or water pack. It is always a good practice that once the fire is out to go around the perimeter of the fire and spray water to make sure the fire is out completely. Hate to go back a few hours later and fight the fire that you thought was out hours prior. There are many hand tools available to help fight wildland fires, do your homework search for yourself, talk to your neighboring departments to find out what they use and either build or buy what will work in your area with the staff you have and the type of materials you have in your wildland fires.

ZONE 3 REPORT
With the first day of spring today (March 20) and temperatures in the double digits I can safely say ‐ spring is here. After more than a year of COVID19 restrictions people can again be outside and enjoy the weather.
With the warmer temperatures comes wildland fires. Some fire departments in Zone 3 have already attended grass fires. With the dry spring conditions many more departments will be busy.
Over the winter I have been asked “When is it time to replace your firefighter turnout gear?”
According to NFPA 1851, the lifespan of turnout gear is ten years. Chemical exposure, repeated cleaning and overall wear to firefighter turnout gear needs to be measured and tracked to know when it’s time to retire PPE.
Here’s why your department should be examining exposure to PPE – there’s much more to the decision to retire a set of turnout gear than just its age and appearance.
For guidance, let’s look at what some of those factors are, courtesy of NFPA 1851: Standards on Selection, Care and Maintenance of Protective Ensembles for Structural Firefighting and Proximity Firefighting. Retirement criteria should be based on several factors including but not limited to, the following:
Overall condition of the item. Specific deterioration of materials or components beyond their economic repair. Ability to adequately remove hazardous materials and other contaminants. Age of structure or proximity ensemble or ensemble elements. Excessive soil buildup that could impact performance of the ensemble.
Have a great spring and be safe out there.

Greetings from the Zone 4 Director!
As it looks like we have made it through another winter, the snow is melting away around your area, if not gone already. We have to start to think of the spring wild fire season. We probably have all been there, sitting at home on a nice spring afternoon and the call comes in for the first grass fire. You realize that you haven’t gotten the grass unit ready yet. So now would be a good time to start to prepare the equipment that you put away for the winter. Go through it make sure it is working the way it should. Replaced anything that was damaged or that got forgotten about. It is better to be ready than scrambling when we get that call! It is also a good time to have your town or RM administrator send out a reminder of the controlled burn line 1-866-404-4911. If anyone that you know is planning a controlled burn, remind them to call it in. This saves a lot confusion if someone is passing by and calls 9-1-1.
Not only does the equipment need to be ready but this is also a good time to make sure that all your members are refreshed on the equipment. It’s been a few months and we all become rusty on how some of the equipment is operated or even if there are those few new members that started this winter, now is the time to get them up to speed.
Be safe this spring and remember, we all go home at the end of the call.

Here we sit, another quarter gone by. Still dealing with the navigation of a ton of restrictions for our world. Good news is that we've had lots of family time. Soooo much family time. As we head into the warmer weather (hopefully?) We start to get that it just to be in the hall for more than just equipment checks and winter exercises.
My question and my quarterly rant comes down to preparedness. Does your team at the hall have a plan? Do you follow a training Program? It doesn't have to be anything fancy, or it can be right to a full 1001 program in house. Do you have an in-house 1002 (driver operator) of some kind? We train on so many things that sometimes we lose sight of all the things we need to do.
When is the last time your teams flowed water from a hydrant through the trucks or drafted in a rural setting? Does your team have the same people drive and pump all the time? Do you have a group of men and women who act as your driver operators? Or do you operate that everyone needs to be a driver operator?
Next question. Do your senior officers have absolute trust in those operators? Should they trust you? This one is a tougher one. There is so much happening on an emergency scene that the last thing command needs is to second guess the pump operator.
What about the liability side of things? While the traffic act allows for a loop hole, does your community have a plan to get the proper license or endorsement to drive the apparatus? We talk about cost all the time. Yes, it costs money. However, one big thing to consider, what if you are in a collision or roll the apparatus? Is the community aware of the rules we are following and the liability they carry?
Next up is the record keeping. Does the department ask for minimum time behind the wheel to maintain that competency? Do you have to do a driver refresher in all conditions?
Next one is the safety side. Do we enforce the seat belt policy? Do we ride with helmets on? Hearing protection needed inside the cab? Do you operate some kind of clean cab policy? With the carcinogen decontamination being a huge issue today, can you do some on scene decontamination and then clean the cab when back at the station?
With so many topics to train on these days and seems like less and less time to accomplish it all, maybe it can be something one of the "up and comers" at hall takes on to help with the chief officer workload. Remember we don't have to have bars to lead.
Its of absolute paramount importance that we get to the emergency in a safe manner, whatever it may be. Once on that scene, water is our lifeline and our best weapon against fire. Establishing that water supply is must have to protect our lives, the life and property of our citizens and rate payers.
As always if you need training done on site, we are always happy to send out someone from our instructor network to facilitate that. Contact Michelle our executive director to set that up.
Keep your boots on the ground, train hard, train smart and train often.

We haven't forgotten nor put aside the honor guard initiative folks. We had to pause while the restrictions exist, but there is news.
We have procured some ceremonial stuff like pikes and axes, some flag poles. I will be sending out an email to our existing group as soon as restrictions let up to make plans to move forward with training and protocols and the like.
As always, we can use more members on the list. If you know of anyone who wishes to be involved email [email protected], or our executive director and we will get them signed up. Thanks folks.

RECOGNITION
This episode of the newsletter I’m going to focus in on recognizing your fellow firefighters and responders. I’m often asked about how many people we have on our department in Leroy. Sometimes the question is brought up as to why we have so many members in our fold (I’ll expand on that in another report), but quite often, it is how we are able to not only have, but RETAIN so many responders.
One of the most simple ways of doing this is to make sure you praise the individuals in your firehall whenever possible. I’ve made it a standard practice to give a “shout out” to each member who responds on a call on our private department FaceBook page. For those departments that have a public page for their community to read, ensure the crew gets recognized for the efforts regardless of the outcome. Ex. “ We would like to acknowledge the 5 members of the Leroy Fire Dept for their actions last night, your efforts are truly appreciated by the (Town/RM/Community/Fire Committee/Officer Group/add your applicable association) and we thank you for –“. If allowed by your dept protocols, it may not hurt to post their names on there for recognition.
I always make sure when I get thanked personally by a ratepayer after a call to remind them that I probably was the one who got off easiest by simply directing as IC, and that my team shouldered all the heavy work and truly deserves the praise.
Another avenue is to have a “Firefighter of the Year” Award in your department. Someone who has gone above and beyond during practices, calls, fundraising events, education etc. We recognize this individual during our annual BBQ. Due to Covid, this year we did an impromptu video of last year’s winner handing over the trophy to the new recipient and posted for the group to see.
Further still, we make sure that when training/certification benchmarks are attained, that these too are recognized. We post certificates and the department training transcript in the meeting room for all to see when they come in. These benchmarks were secured through dedication and hard work, and I want them to see that it is acknowledged and appreciated. Some of these certificates can be easily identified on a helmet decal. The examples below show the Tetrahedrons Mackenzie achieved for her NFPA 472 HAZMAT Operations Certification and EMR designation. The other shows Michael has got his Medical First Responder and Vehicle Extrication training under his belt.

Other ideas include uniform dress shirts, T shirts, patches, jackets, pins....Heck, even something as simple as putting a firefighters name on their helmet is a source of pride!
The biggest take away for Officers is to make sure you find the time to recognize your team. Even the smallest “Great job” and pat on the back goes a long way to boosting morale. But you must make sure you always make the time to follow through.
We don’t do this simply for the recognition, but it is certainly appreciated when it is given.

Hope Spring is good to everyone and we are all able to be together under one roof sometime soon!
Cheers!

Because of Covid-19 the annual zone meet was not to be, hopefully in the future we will be able to get back to some kind of normal. Because of this I will tell you about one of the absolute scariest calls we ever encountered. I am calling it, THE SMOKING GRAIN ELEVATOR. On March 9 this year at 7:02 PM a text came in from PA-Dispatch, GRAIN ELEVATOR-SMELL OF SMOKE, 208 Ave A North. My heart began to race. I had gotten to Saskatoon at my daughters house an hour earlier and was in the middle of a zoom with family members about my mother. She was moved to palliative care earlier that day. The grain elevator is about 100 yards from residential houses, 120 yards from the only machinery dealership, with millions of dollars of inventory between elevator and business and 200 yards from the Coop C Store with a propane fill station. The Eston fire fighter arrived on scene at 7:09 PM, assessing smell of smoke in driveway inside the building. Fire fighters entered via office door looking for the seat of smoke. Kindersley Fire was called for mutual aid at 7:15 PM. After numerous searches with the camera, fire fighters did not locate source of the smoke. Eston Fire searched the scale area and all the way to the top of the leg. Kindersley Fire arrived at 8:42 PM. Kindersley Fire entered with their camera and searched the bottom of the boot. They where able to find the seat of smoke. Both departments gently (no nozzles) started flooding the pit hoping to extinguish the fire, but the grain dust that was smoking started to float on the water. The next step was to use a foam called COOL FIRE. After applying, the smouldering grain dust slowly went out. At 11:22 PM, the fire was declared out. No grain dust explosion and fire. The belt had moved over to one side causing the cups to rub on the side of the boot. The dust that was smouldering was the size of a 5-gallon pail lid. Hats off to all fire fighters from both departments, for using unified command working together using RIT back and forth for each other as they took turns entering. Thanks to them, a huge EMO had been diverted. I got to visit mother the next day and a few days later she was moved out of palliative care. Everything OK. A reminder to please update your membership. If someone has a concern, please contact me at 1 306 962-7456.

Hello from Zone 8.
Spring appears to have sprung for most of the region, as well as most of Saskatchewan. While this appears to be a mostly wet time of year, there is a very short period of time between snow; and dry fire‐prone conditions. I have heard of at least one grass fire already in another region, so I believe that we must already be prepared for grass and wildland fires‐as I’m sure you are.
I am aware that some fire departments have been cancelling regular meetings and training events due to the Covid‐19 situation, and I am confident that all fire equipment has continued to be maintained and checked over periodically. As of the time of this publication, the following is the information that I am aware of provided by the Saskatchewan Government regarding the Covid‐19 provincial health order and how it applies to fire departments. “Critical public services are exempt from the health order, and fire departments are on the list of critical public services.” This is in regards to regular fire department meetings. For more details regarding this, please reach out to me and I’ll provide further information.
Hopefully everyone has had a safe winter, and lets all continue to stay safe throughout the coming season.

Greetings from Zone 9.
Nice to have warmer weather now, after the frigid cold spell we had in February. We’re having some nice temperatures now in March, causing the snow to melt slowly. Hopefully this spring, we don’t have a large snowfall, or late spring rain storm, to cause flooding.
As we are always thinking of safety around the fire service, I will introduce equipment maintenance and testing for our fire departments. Today, I will talk about fire hose testing for safety of our members, and reliability of our equipment.
This might be helpful for depts that do not have a SOP for fire hose testing. It could be a guideline to writing/updating your SOP.
______
Fire Hose Testing - NFPA #1962
Purpose - -The reason for annual hose testing is to provide a level of safety as well as a degree of assurance that hose and couplings will perform as required. NFPA # 1962 is the “Standard for Care, Use, and Service Testing of Fire Hose, including Couplings and Nozzles”.
Preparations - - Requires a crew of firefighters, pumper, hydrant gate, nozzle, fire hoses, record forms, black felt marker, and a good appropriate testing area. - Use a marker to mark hose at couplings, so a movement during test can be observed. - Check hose for physical damage ( cuts, burns, holes, abrasions ). - Mark all hose with an ID number for identification. Stamp both couplings with ID #. - Maintain a record of each piece of issued hose. Each record should contain Hose ID Number, Hose Location, Size, Hose Condition, Purchase Date, Last Test Date, Current Test Date, and Officer’s Remarks/Signature. - Park pumper on designated testing area. Attach hydrant gate to a discharge on opposite side of pump panel. - Attach hose to the hydrant gate, up to 300 feet in length, relatively straight. Attach nozzle. Remove kinks, so pressure goes the full length of hose being tested.
3
Testing - - Use pumper to fill hose with water. Open nozzle to remove air trapped in hose. Close nozzle. - Close hydrant gate, open just slightly ( one revolution, or 1/8 turn on ball valve style ). - This will allow pressure to build in hose, but not high volume. If a hose fails, there will be less volume of water to hurt a firefighter, or cause damage. If problems, stop test. - Bring pressure up to 250 PSI. Maintain this pressure for 5 minutes. Near end of this time, inspect hose for bulging hose, leaks, and movement of couplings. - After the 5 minutes, slowly lower the pump pressure. Take pumper out of ‘Pump’. - Release water pressure from hose, by opening the nozzle. Disconnect and drain hoses. Tie a knot in problem hose, so it does not go back into service.
Records - - Keep records of tests for each hose, with before mentioned info. - When hose passes, record this test. When hose fails test, remove from service, and have hose fixed, if possible. Record all remarks on forms. Sign forms. - Maintain a Master File for all hose. - Do tests at same time of the year ( Spring, Fall, etc. ).
** Use this as a Guide. More information can be found on the internet, “NFPA # 1962, Standard for the Care, Use, and Service Testing of Fire Hose, including Couplings and Nozzles”. **

Hope everyone is having a good start to their spring season. I would just like to say that with the onset of dryer weather in many parts of the province we should expect a higher incidence of grass fires. It goes with out saying that it is important that we as Firefighters review our own Fire Depts protocols in regards to fighting these fires. We should also make sure our equipment is in good repair and that those using it are well versed in starting and operating said equipment. Reviewing proper PPE for fighting those fires is important as wearing the wrong PPE can lead to serious injury or even death. Heat exhaustion and risk of burns is ever present and may be overlooked due to the fact that air temps may be lower in the early spring season. However, the physical exertion required to fight these fires may in some cases cause the internal body temperature to rise above safe limits if the wrong PPE is used. In regards to burns making sure exposed skin in covered and lose pant/coverall cuffs are avoided should help mitigate possibility of burns. Proper gloves and mask will also help with the reduction of exposure to some carcinogens that are present in wildfire smoke and debris.
Hoping you all have a great spring.

PSPNET Offering Public Safety Personnel mental health support
When you’re in trouble, where do you go for help?
PSP do much of society’s heavy lifting — competently carrying out their professional duties with efficiency and dedication — but the constant demands can extract an invisible toll on mental health.
After responding to a challenging call, you may just ‘suck it up’ and carry on. But challenging calls can get stuck in your head. They can contribute to occupational burnout — which negatively impacts your happiness and undermines productivity.
Are you jumping out of bed eager to greet the day or hitting the snooze button, pillow over your head, unable to face the challenges ahead?
For PSP, the protracted pandemic may feel like a replay of the 1993 film Groundhog Day whereby every morning a TV broadcaster, played by Bill Murray, awakens to the exact same day.
Added to the relentless, daily stress is the Saskatchewan character trait of stoicism — bury your feelings and just get ‘er done — and PSP are presented with a common mental health dilemma. Do PSP suffer in silence or ask for help?
Let PSPNET help you with the heavy lifting. We can share useful tools to cope with symptoms of stress, anxiety, depression, panic, social anxiety, and even PTSD.
You may think that seeking help will only make you feel more vulnerable and exposed. That’s only natural. Our programs are geared to assist you with confidentiality, respect and compassion.
Because of the stigma connected to mental health assistance, you may be reluctant to seek outside help. The prevailing myth is that only ‘weak people’ need help. Strong, capable PSP don’t ‘need any help.’
In a crisis, PSP are the first ones who step up. PSP are top performers who rise to every challenge and address every situation with courage and efficiency.
But what if you can’t ‘come down’ after a challenging call? What if you carry work stress home and snap at your spouse and kids? What if you’re plagued by flashbacks or night terrors?
PSPNET offers Internet-delivered Cognitive Behavior Therapy (ICBT) support. You can learn effective methods for coping with your troubling symptoms.
PSPNET is a free, confidential, compassionate, and accessible mental health support that does not require a referral.
98% of participants in our programs report that our courses were “worth their time.” 96% said they “would refer a friend.” 89% of course participants report significantly improved, or maintained, symptoms.
How does PSPNET work? Participants are screened through a computer questionnaire (30-45 minutes) followed up with a 30-minute telephone session with a therapist.
To qualify for assistance, Saskatchewan residents must be 18 years of age. You must be comfortable using a computer and, in case of emergency, be willing to provide a local medical contact.
Once enrolled in PSPNET, you can choose from one of two courses of treatment, the Wellbeing Course or the PTSD Course. Both courses of treatment are typically eight weeks in duration, but include flexibility for those that may need additional time and have been specifically created for PSP.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out. We want to support all current and form PSP who provide loyal and excellent service to our communities. Help is just a click away.
For more information about PSPNET you can reach us at www.pspnet.ca or contact us at 1-833-317-7233.
