Also limits oxygen to the burning surface helping to extinguish. Dose: .1% up to 3% Where to Find: All engines have an on-board 30 gallon tank Pump Operations: Any line designated as a CAFS line can flow Class A foam directly through the pump Type: ThunderStorm AR-AFFF Use: Fires involving flammable liquids (hydrocarbons or polar solvents) What Concentration Should I Use?: 1% for hydrocarbons and 3% for polar solvents Mechanism of Action: Repels carbon and creates a foam blanket thus limiting oxygen and the ignition of flammable vapors Dose: 1% or 3% Where to Find: Each engine has (2) 5 gallon pails of Class B foam, 2 foam trailers have approximately 1,200 gallons Pump Operations: Each engine with the exception of Engine 21 must set up a foam eductor to flow Class B foam Class B foam should never be poured into the rig User Information Credentials: From the “Home” screen, users can click on “My Credentials” to see their credentials. Any credential that has an expiration date is listed. Any member who has a credential that is expired shall send a copy of that updated certification to Division Chief Huth or Emilee so your credential can be updated. BC’s & Company Officers: Please assist the Training Division by making sure your members look at their credentials for any expired certification dates that need to be updated. My History: This section shows each user the trainings they have completed. If you see anything that is missing, please contact DC Huth so your training record can be updated. Schedule: The home screen shows any assignments you have and are found in the center of the page under schedule. Daily & Weekly Checks: A member is allowed only 1 daily check and 1 weekly check per day. As an example, if you work at Station 22 and it’s Thursday, you have more than 1 staff car to check. All you need to do is enter 1 training log but select each vehicle you checked. Members are allowed only 1 SCBA check per day as well. Physical Fitness Counts as Training: If you go to the administration section once you login, you will see record completions. Physical fitness is found under daily activities. If you click on Firefighter Fitness, all you need to do is fill in the different sections with the correct information and your training is logged. How Do I Generate a Report: To generate a report whether it’s for your training record, what assignments are incomplete, etc, the first this to do is go to the Administration section and click on generate reports. Click on the green button that says generate report. If you are looking for overdue assignments, select that from the list. Towards the bottom it says “Days Overdue.” Select the box next to that and change it to All Overdue. After that, click on the box next to Users. This will allow you to select different groups i.e. a certain shift, cer- tain rank, etc. Finally, click on Run and your report will be generated. You have the ability to look at the re- port on the screen or you can download it as a PDF. A Little More on Daily Activities: The daily activities include the following: 1. Area familiarization 2. Building Walk Through/Inspections 3. Daily SCBA check 4. Daily vehicle check 5. Fitness 6. Weekly care & maintenance 7. Weekly vehicle check If you go out and complete these activities, please log the training. In the inspection section, you have to include the building you inspected. ISO & Annual Training Hours: ISO identifies the amount of hours needed on an annual basis for drivers, firefighters, and officers. All 3 ranks need the following hours: (6) hours hazmat, (18) hours facilities training which is training completed at the training grounds/CTC, and (192) hours of company training. In addition to the above hours, driver/operators need (12) hours of driver training each year. Company officers need (12) hours of officer training. To see where you are at go to manage users and select your name to see how many hours you have. The chart on the left shows the pressures and target flows for each of our handlines and master streams. Aside from Engine 21, every other engine gives you anywhere from around 7 minutes of wide open flow with a 1.75” line and approximately 4- 4.5 minutes of wide open flow with a 2.5”. Our master streams flow anywhere from 500 gpm up to 1250 gpm. The offers you 1.5 up to 3 minutes of flow. Securing a water source is critical when glowing larger lines or master streams. The chart on the right shows the friction loss factors the Engineer must consider on the fireground. When you do not factor in the friction loss, your target flows are diminished. On the bottom of the chart, you see the foam pressures and gpm. When flowing any CAFS line, your pres- sure should be 100 psi. The only change to this occurs when you place a foam eductor in service to deliver class b foam. This pressure is increased to 200 psi (at the eductor). Finally, you can deploy a max of 150’ of hose from the eductor to the nozzle. Clay Fire apparatus are equipped with K tools. In addition to the actual K tool itself, these pouches also come with an allen wrench, a key tool, and a shove knife. The purpose of this drill is to review the use of the K tool and the accompanying tools. The advantage of the K tool is that it is not necessarily as destructive as traditional means of forcible entry such as a set of irons or even a circular saw. The K tool is a through the lock tool although you need a halligan bar to finish the job. Mortise Locks Through the lock techniques can be used for a variety of lock sets but for the purpose of this drill, we are going to focus on mortise locks. These lock sets have a throw that rests in the strike or jamb of the door keeping it locked. One option is to use some vice grips to turn the entire lock set a 1/4 turn clockwise to bend the set screws. The cylinder can then be completely spun out of the door by turning it counterclockwise. You would then use the key tool that is found in the K tool pouch to gain access. The other option is to use the K tool. When using the k tool, you have two sides to the tool. The one side is the area where the adz of the halligan rests. The other side is the “K” side where the tool grips the lock. When placing the K tool, you want to put the flat side towards the jamb as shown in the picture. This prevents the k tool itself from getting jammed in the frame. Once you place the tool, you want to enter from the top and place the adze in the holder. Use the halligan bar as a lever and pull up which removes the trim ring and the face of the lock cylinder. Once this is done, the last thing to do is to manipulate the lock to open the door.

    MILWAUKEE FIRE DEPARTMENT Operational Guidelines Approved by: Chief Mark Rohlfing 2012 FORWARD The purpose of these operational guidelines is to make clear expectations for company performance, safety, and efficiency, eliminating the potential for confusion and duplication of effort at the emergency scene. It is understood that extraordinary situations may dictate a deviation from these guidelines. Deviation can only be authorized by the officer/acting officer of an apparatus or the incident commander. Any deviation must be communicated over the incident talk group. The following guidelines are meant to clarify best operational practices for the MFD. They are not intended to be all-inclusive and are designed to be updated as necessary. They are guidelines for you to use. However, there will be no compromise on issues of safety, chain of command, correct gear usage, or turnout times (per NFPA 1710). These operating guidelines will outline tool and task responsibilities for the specific riding positions on responding units. While the title of each riding position and the assignments that follow may not always seem to be a perfect pairing, the tactical advantage of knowing where each member is supposed to be operating at a given assignment will provide for increased accountability and increased effectiveness while performing our response duties. Within the guidelines, you will see run-type specific (and in some cases, arrival order specific) tool and task assignments. On those responses listing a ‘T (or R)’ as the response unit, the Company will be uniformly listed as ‘Truck’ for continuity. The riding positions are as follows: ENGINE RIDING POSITIONS OFFICER HEO NOZZLE FF BACKUP FF TRUCK RIDING POSITIONS OFFICER HEO VENT FF FORCE FF SAFETY If you see something that you believe impacts our safety, it is your duty to report it to your superior Officer immediately.

    Forcible Entry on Exit Hardware By Samuel Hittle Forcible entry tactics are limited only by the imagination of the firefighter seeking to gain entry. Conversely, security is generally only limited by the imagination of the one seeking to secure an environment. Certain occupancy types, however, have restrictions set forth by local fire code-limiting measures occupants may take. For this reason, knowing what the local code specifies, especially pertaining to non-residential doors and their hardware, can aid you in identifying an appropriate forcible entry plan for gaining access to particular structures--as long as the occupant adheres to the code and laws, of course. Why Panic or Fire Exit Hardware? Chicago experienced the deadliest building fire in United States history in 1903 at the Iroquois Theater; 603 people died. The number of lives lost is largely attributed to the fact that the exits were locked, blocked, or had inward-swinging doors. This unfortunate event resulted in the rewriting of the fire code to mandate that egress doors swing outward and to prohibit them from being locked or blocked when occupied. The fire also led to the development of the exit device by Carl Prinzler. He sought to create a device that would allow a door to be locked from the outside, maintaining a constant state of security, but that could be readily opened from the inside when force was applied in the direction of travel toward the egress side. Other multiple-fatality fires, like the Lakeview Grammar School in Colinwood, Ohio. (176 fatalities) and the Triangle Shirt Waist Factory in New York City, New York, (146 fatalities) reinforced the need for this hardware to be installed in public occupancies.

  • THE MAN BEHIND the TOOLS a Story About Bob Farrell
    THE MAN BEHIND THE TOOLS Captain Robert Farrell, Ladder Co. 31, FDNY By Donald Colarusso of www.AllHandsFire.com Fire Hooks Unlimited is the leading manufacturer of fire hooks, fire tools and fire equipment. The owner, Bob Farrell, has had an historic career with the New York City Fire Department and has been one of the most valuable and influential fire equipment manufacturers for nearly three decades. Bob served in the US Navy for 5 years. After receiving an Honorary Discharge, he joined the FDNY as a probie firefighter and was assigned to Ladder Company 4 in Manhattan. Even during his early years, Bob was innovative as you would agree after heard one of Bob’s favorite stories… As a young firefighter in Manhattan’s Ladder Company 4, Bob took an FDNY-owned “Halligan Bar” and cut an “A” into the Bob as the Captain of Ladder 31. This photo appeared in the illustrated book Adz to better attack lock cylinders. Once discovered by an called FIRE! By Steven Scher in 1978 unimpressed boss, the Captain of Ladder 4 directed Bob to immediately replace the Halligan Bar at his own expense. So Bob made the trip into the Bronx, to the home of Chief Hugh Halligan, the inventor of the “Halligan Bar”. Bob explained what had happened to Chief Halligan. The Chief went into his closet, pulled a Halligan Bar out, and sold it to Bob for $36.00. Chief Halligan, seemingly feeling bad for “the new guy”, took a few dollars off of the price - $3 as Bob recalls.

  • Front of the Fire Building, Usually Front Door Facing Street, but May Be
    A • A-side: Front of the fire building, usually front door facing street, but may be facing parking area where first apparatus arrives; other sides labeled B (left), C (rear), D (right), as necessary when speaking of or staffing structure fire Sectors. • Above-ground storage tank: Storage tank that is not buried. Compare Underground storage tank. Unburied tanks are more prone to physical damage, and leaks are released to the air or ground, rather than the soil surrounding a buried tank. • Accelerant: flammable fuel (often liquid) used by some arsonists to increase size or intensity of fire. May also be accidentally introduced when HAZMAT becomes involved in fire. • Accountability: The process of emergency responders (fire, police, SAR, emergency medical, etc...) checking into and making themselves announced as being on-scene during an incident to an incident commander or accountability officer. Through the accountability system, each person is tracked throughout the incident until released from the scene by the incident commander or accountability officer. This is becoming a standard in the emergency services arena primarily for the safety of emergency personnel. This system may implement a name tag system or personal locator device (tracking device used by each individual that is linked to a computer). • AFA: Automatic Fire Alarm/Actuating Fire Alarm • Aircraft rescue and firefighting (ARFF): a special category of firefighting that involves the response, hazard mitigation, evacuation and possible rescue of passengers and crew of an aircraft involved in an airport ground emergency. • Alarm: (1) system for detecting and reporting unusual conditions, such as smoke, fire, flood, loss of air, HAZMAT release, etc.; (2) a specific assignment of multiple fire companies and/or units to a particular incident, usually of fire in nature; (3) centralized dispatch center for interpreting alarms and dispatching resources.
