Box 7014 Falls Church, VA 22040 www.fallschurchvfd.org Fire Station 6 6950 Little Falls Road Arlington, VA 22213 (703) 532-2672 The mission of the Falls Church Volunteer Fire Department (FCVFD) is to aid in the preservation of life and property. This mission is completed in cooperation with the City of Falls Church government and the Arlington County Fire Department. During the calendar year 2003, the volunteers participated and contributed in a myriad of functions related to the public safety of the citizens of the greater Falls Church community. The following is a summary of the most significant activities for the year: MEMBERSHIP STATISTICS Hours and Emergency Responses The FCVFD increased overall participation by 53% over year 2002.

  • Fairfax Fire Dept
    FAIRFAX COUNTY FIRE & RESCUE DEPARTMENT STANDING ORDER NUMBER: 2017-003 ISSUED BY: Fire Chief Richard Bowers CFAI PI: 7F.4 APPROVED BY: DATE: March 10, 2017 Fire Chief Richard Bowers FIRE AND RESCUE DEPARTMENT SUBJECT: Respiratory Protection During Overhaul Operations EFFECTIVE DATE: Immediately With the growing scientific information linking cancer to firefighting, and in an effort to promote health and wellness of our personnel, the use of respiratory protection during overhaul is mandatory. The mandated use of respiratory protection during overhaul applies to all operational personnel and shall be adhered to regardless of jurisdiction (e.g. mutual aid and automatic aid to neighboring jurisdictions). The department is striving to reduce the incidence of cancer among personnel by mandating the use of appropriate respiratory protection during the entirety of overhaul operations. Off-gassing of hazardous compounds and known carcinogens continues to occur even after the production of visible smoke has stopped. Firefighter exposures during overhaul have the potential to cause changes in spirometry and lung permeability. One of the routes of greatest concern for entry of carcinogens into the body is through the lungs, when firefighters prematurely remove their Self- Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA), especially during overhaul. Incident scenes requiring overhaul will be divided into three phases. Phase I – This phase begins with fire suppression activities and continues until the fire is knocked down, ventilation is performed and the Safety Officer (SAFO) confirms an Immediate Danger to Life and Health (IDLH) atmosphere no longer exists. Once no visible fire or smoke is evident, the SAFO will perform atmospheric monitoring utilizing the MultiRAE 5 gas meter.

  • 6.13 Public Services – Fire Protection
    6.13 PUBLIC SERVICES – FIRE PROTECTION 6.13.1 OVERVIEW AND SUMMARY Fire protection services would be provided to the proposed project by the Ventura County Fire Protection District (VCFPD) under contract with the City of Camarillo. The VCFPD’s resources are adequate to serve the proposed project, and response times to service calls at the proposed project site would meet District standards. The proposed project site is located near areas designated by the state as medium fire hazard, and by the VCFPD as high fire hazard areas. As the project site is in a fire hazard area, impacts would be potentially significant without mitigation. 6.13.2 LITERATURE AND DATA REVIEW The following sources provided information used in this analysis: • Ventura County Fire Protection District. Unit Strategic Fire Plan. 2016. • Ventura County Fire Protection District. 2014 Annual Report. • John Dodd, Fire Inspector, Ventura County Fire Protection District. 6.13.3 METHODOLOGY Analysis of fire protection services is concerned with response time, firefighter-to-population ratios, and water fire-flow service to the area that is in question. Response times to an area influence the ability of a fire department to serve a development, county, city, or other populated area in a timely and efficient manner. The further a fire department (fire station) is from a populated area, it would be expected that response times would be longer and delayed. An analysis of response times for fire departments serving a development should be completed in order to determine if the fire department has sufficient resources to arrive to a fire or other medical emergency in a timely fashion.

FEMA's mission is to focus Federal effort on preparedness for, mitigation of, response to, and recovery from emergencies encompassing the full range of natural and manmade disasters. FEMA's National Emergency Training Center (NETC) in Emmitsburg, Maryland, includes the United States Fire Administration (USFA), its National Fire Academy (NFA), and the Emergency Management Institute (EMI). To achieve the USFA's legislated mandate (under Public Law 93-498, October 29, 1974), "to advance the professional development of fire service personnel and of other persons engaged in fire prevention and control activities," the U.S. Fire Administration has developed an effective program linkage with established fire training systems which exist at the State and local levels. It is the responsibility of the USFA to support and strengthen these delivery systems. The field courses of the USFA's National Fire Academy have been sponsored by the respective State fire training systems in every State. The USFA's National Fire Academy is proud to join with State and local fire agencies in providing educational opportunities to the members of the Nation's fire services.
