Ladder belt: A piece of equipment specifically designed to secure a fire fighter to a ladder or elevated surface. (page 420) 3. Heat sensor label: A label that identifies when the ladder has been exposed to specific heat conditions that could damage its structural integrity. (page 379) 4. Tie rod: Metal bar that runs from one beam of the ladder to the other and keeps the beams from separating. Tie rods are typically found in wood ladders. (page 379) 5. Roof hooks: Spring-loaded, retractable, curved metal pieces that are attached to the tip of a roof ladder. These hooks are used to secure the tip of the ladder to the peak of a pitched roof. (page 381) 6. Protection plates: Reinforcing pieces that are placed on a ladder at chaffing and contact points to prevent damage from friction or contact with other surfaces. (page 379) 7. Pawls: The mechanical locking devices used to secure the extended fly sections of an extension ladder. They are sometimes called dogs, ladder locks, or rung locks. (page 379) 8. Bed section: The widest section of an extension ladder. It serves as the base; all other sections are raised from the bed section. (page 379) 9. Halyard: The rope or cable used to extend or hoist the fly sections of an extension ladder. (page 379) 10. Pulley: A small grooved wheel that is used to change the direction of the halyard pull. A downward pull on the halyard creates an upward force on the fly sections, extending the ladder.

Basic considerations when lifting a ground ladder include (Students should include five of the following): (1) When fire fighters are working as a team to lift a ladder, one fire fighter must act as the leader. (2) The lead fire fighter needs to call the intended movements using two-step commands. (3) There should be a prearranged method in place for determining the lead fire fighter for ladder lifts. (4) Good lifting technique must be used. (5) When bending, bend at the knees and keep the back straight. (6) Lift and lower the load with the legs, rather than the back. (7) Take care to avoid twisting motions. (page 393) 2. Basic considerations when descending a ground ladder include (Students should include five of the following): (1) Before starting to descend, take time to ensure the ladder is at an appropriate angle. (2) Be sure the ladder is on stable footing and that someone is heeling the ladder. (3) Communicate to the person footing the ladder. (4) If you are holding a tool, establish a secure grip that will allow you to maintain good contact. (5) As you descend, face the ladder, keeping your back perpendicular with the ground and your arms almost fully extended. (6) Maintain three-point contact as you descend, keeping two hands and one foot or two feet and one hand on the ladder. (7) Have the arches of your feet on the rungs. (8) Descend slowly, avoid sudden movements, and stay in the middle of the ladder. (9) Minimize bouncing and swaying. (10) Do not overload the ladder. (page 423) 3. The three basic types of beam construction are: (1) Trussed beam: Has a top rail and a bottom rail, which are joined by a series of smaller pieces called truss blocks. The rungs are attached to the truss blocks. Trussed beams are usually constructed of aluminum or wood. (2) I-beam: Has thick sections at the top and the bottom, which are connected by a thinner section. The rungs are attached to the thinner section of the beam. This type of beam is usually made from fiberglass. (3) Solid beam: Has a simple rectangular cross-section. Many wooden ladders have solid beams. Rectangular aluminum beams, which are usually hollow or C shaped, are also classified as solid beams. (page 378) 4. Fundamental ladder maintenance tasks are (Students should include five of the following): (1) Clean and lubricate the pawls, following the manufacturer’s instructions. (2) Clean and lubricate the slides on extension ladders in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations. (3) Replace worn halyards and wire rope on extension ladders when they fray or kink. (4) Clean and lubricate hooks. Remove rust and other contaminants and lubricate the folding roof hook assemblies on roof ladders to keep them operational. (5) Check the heat sensor labels. Replace the sensors when they reach their expiration date. Remove from service a ladder that has been exposed to high temperatures for testing. (6) Maintain the finish on fiberglass and wooden ladders in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations. (7) Ensure that portable ladders are not painted except for the top and bottom 18 inches (45.2 centimeters) of each section, because paint can hide structural defects in the ladder. The tip and butt are painted for purposes of identification and visibility. (8) Maintenance records should be kept. (page 385) Chapter 11: Ladders 47 Fire Alarms 1. Remove the roof ladder from the apparatus. Choose an appropriate ladder carry for the obstacles you will have to maneuver around. Deploy the roof ladder up the extension ladder. Remember to use a leg lock or ladder belt to secure yourself to the ladder. Place the roof ladder on the roof, ensuring the hooks are pointing down. (page 422) 2. Think safety first. A person who is in extreme danger may not wait to be rescued. Jumpers risk their own lives and may endanger the fire fighters trying to rescue them. Several fire fighters have been seriously injured by persons who jumped before a rescue could be completed. A trapped person might try to jump onto the tip of an approaching ladder, or reach out for anything or anyone nearby. You might be pulled or pushed off the ladder by the person you are trying to rescue.

  • Firefighting in the New Economy: Changes in Skill and the Impact of Technology
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: FIREFIGHTING IN THE NEW ECONOMY: CHANGES IN SKILL AND THE IMPACT OF TECHNOLOGY Brian W. Ward, Ph.D., 2010 Directed By: Dr. Bart Landry, Department of Sociology To better understand the shift in workers’ skills in the New Economy, a case study of professional firefighters ( n= 42) was conducted using semi-structured interviews to empirically examine skill change and the impact of technology. A conceptual model was designed by both introducing new ideas and integrating traditional and contemporary social theory. The first component of this model categorized firefighters’ skills according to the job-context in which they occurred, including: fire related emergencies, non-fire related emergencies, the fire station, and non-fire non-emergencies. The second component of this model drew from Braverman’s (1998/1974) skill dimension concept and was used to identify both the complexity and autonomy/control-related aspects of skill in each job-context. Finally, Autor and colleagues’ (2002) hypothesis was adapted to determine if routinized components of skill were either supplemented or complemented by new technologies. The findings indicated that skill change among firefighters was clearly present, but not uniform across job-contexts. A substantial increase in both the complexity and autonomy/control-related skill dimensions was present in the non-fire emergency context (particularly due to increased EMS-related skills). In fire emergencies, some skills diminished across both dimensions (e.g., operating the engine’s pump), yet others had a slight increase due to the introduction of new technologies. In contrast to these two contexts, the fire station and non-fire non- emergency job-contexts had less skill change.

  • Planning a Hose and Nozzle System for Effective Operations by Jay Comella, Lieutenant Oakland Fire Department
    By firefighters, for firefighters Firenuggets.com Planning a Hose and Nozzle System for Effective Operations By Jay Comella, Lieutenant Oakland Fire Department The Oakland (Calif.) Fire Department (OFD) convened a Board of Inquiry to investigate the line-of-duty- death of Firefighter Tracy Toomey, who died on January 10, 1999. The fire building at 3052 Broadway was a two-story, balloon-frame building of mixed occupancy, with a residential area over the commercial premises. It was not an unusual building for Oakland. On arrival, the first-alarm companies encountered a heavy fire condition on the first floor with extension up the stairway. They made an aggressive interior attack using multiple 1½-inch handlines. Fire was not extinguished in time to prevent the loss of structural integrity. The resulting collapse of the second floor into the first floor killed one OFD member and left two others with career-ending injuries. One of the three direct causes the Board of Inquiry report cited for the line-of- duty death was the inability of 1½-inch hose to flow sufficient water to extinguish the heavy volume of fire encountered. (1) Left to right: automatic nozzle (50-350 gpm), adjustable-gallonage nozzle (30-60- The report further recommended using 1¾-inch hose to 90-125 gpm @ 100 psi), constant-gallonage remedy insufficient fire flow volume of the 1½-inch hose. nozzle (150 gpm @ 50 psi), and 15/16-inch By simply upgrading from 1½-inch to 1¾-inch hose, the smooth-bore nozzle (180 gpm @ 50 psi). OFD could eliminate fully one-third of the direct causes (Photos by Daryl Liggins.) cited by the Board of Inquiry.

    Abandonment: Abandonment occurs when an emergency responder begins treatment of a patient and the leaves the patient or discontinues treatment prior to arrival of an equally or higher trained responder. Abrasion: A scrape or brush of the skin usually making it reddish in color and resulting in minor capillary bleeding. Absolute Pressure: The measurement of pressure, including atmospheric pressure. Measured in pound per square inch absolute. Absorption: A defensive method of controlling a spill by applying a material that absorbs the spilled material. Accelerant: Flammable fuel (often liquid) used by some arsonists to increase size or intensity of fire. Accelerator: A device to speed the operation of the dry sprinkler valve by detecting the decrease in air pressure resulting in acceleration of water flow to sprinkler heads. Accountability: The process of emergency responders (fire, police, emergency medical, etc...) checking in 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. Adapter: A device that adapts or changes one type of hose thread, type or size to another. It allows for connection of hoses and pipes of incompatible diameter, thread, or gender. May contain combinations, such as a double-female reducer. Adapters between multiple hoses are called wye, Siamese, or distributor. Administrative Warrant: An order issued by a magistrate that grants authority for fire personnel to enter private property for the purpose of conducting a fire prevention inspection or similar purpose.
