CBU Publications Ltd. assumes no responsibility for statements of fact or opinion made by any contributor. The publisher does not assume responsibility for the accuracy of advertisers’ claims and cannot accept any liability for losses incurred by any person as a result of a default on the part of an advertiser. ii President’s Message here are two main groups of people who read COURAGE. The first group is the advertisers who are helping so vitally to sustain and grow the Foundation. We attempt to make the material in this review of interest, therefore, to T a wide cross-section of Canadians in businesses that support the Canadian Fire Service. The other group is members of the Canadian Fire Service itself whose bravery and courage we honour so deeply. For this group we try to present material which is not only of interest but use as well. Given that this is only the third issue of our annual review, we know we are still growing and welcome all the suggestions readers have for change and improvements. To both groups must always go our heartfelt thanks. You support and encourage us to continue our tasks of completing the Canadian Firefighters Memorial, caring for families of the fallen, maintaining the Roll of the Fallen, and fostering the development of a Canadian-focused firefighter life safety program in conjunction with our partners. We continue to work with all the Canadian Fire Service organizations which exist to benefit the safety and welfare of our firefighters. Thus, we have supported the Canadian Association of Fire Chiefs as has the Canadian branch of the International Association of Fire Fighters in encouraging the Canadian government to create the office of National Fire Advisor. What will the next year bring for the Foundation? Many readers will know that there has been consistent effort to create the National monument in Ottawa. Support for this has been truly overwhelming. Visible action began with the passage of Motion 153 by the House of Commons in 2004. The multitude of letters from M.P.’s and Senators who support the Canadian Firefighters Memorial has been both impressive and heart-warming. Again, we say thank you without reservation. Finally, to the CFFF-FCPMS Board of Directors all of whom work diligently and without any pay it must be said again that none of the progress we have made could have been done without the entire team. It has been the Foundation’s consistent goal to be present when asked at every Line of Duty Death ceremony. In some instance that has meant taking on a major role; in others it has meant just being present to pay tribute to courageous firefighters. To all who read this remember that firefighters are our first responders across Canada. They have for centuries saved lives, protected property and reduced losses often at extreme cost to themselves and their families. Please continue to honour them by supporting the Canadian Fallen Firefighters Foundation. Please visit www.cfff.ca to see our work in more depth. Sincerely, Dr. William Brooks, President 1 Vice-President’s Message nother year has flown by and it has seen the Foundation make great strides forward. Each week that passes moves the Canadian Fallen Firefighters Foundation closer to building the only National A monument that will honor all Canadian firefighters who have died in the line of duty. This monument will be a tribute to all Canadian firefighters who risk their lives each day to ensure the safety and well being of their fellow citizens. An important step has taken place with

  • Structural Fire Assignment

    Structural Fire Assignment

    Cumberland County Standard Operating Guideline Order of Apparatus Arrival - Structural Fire Assignment Purpose: To establish a standard method for fire apparatus arrival and positioning at structure fire incidents. All personnel must use the procedures below during structure firefighting operations. It is important to note that unless otherwise directed by the Incident Commander you must follow this apparatus positioning guideline. Unit Officers must LIMIT radio transmissions to critical fire ground information. Single units should routinely not contact the Incident Commander for “instructions and assignments”. Procedure: While enroute to the incident scene Unit Officers must maintain situational awareness of their specific location and order of apparatus arrival. Personnel must not take action until their Unit Officer in charge directs them to do so. All drivers who are not specifically assigned to apparatus operations will assemble with their crew. Fire ground discipline is critical during all incident responses. In addition to the listed responsibilities Unit Officers must: A. Maintain crew integrity B. Ensure that personnel and apparatus take their assigned positions C. Follow this and other applicable policies, including the Incident Command System. The IC may modify these assignments as necessary. First Due Engine 1. Unit Responsibilities Initiate water supply by laying a supply line from the most suitable water supply, beginning a split lay or give instructions for reverse lay as necessary. Position the engine on Side Alpha, reserving adequate space for the aerial unit to position. Connect to the building standpipe and/or sprinkler system, if so equipped, on or closest to Side Alpha. Activate VTAC for optimal portable radio coverage.

  • Prescribed Burn Equipment

    Prescribed Burn Equipment

    Oklahoma Cooperative Extension Service NREM-2899 Prescribed Burn Equipment November 2016 John R. Weir Oklahoma Cooperative Extension Fact Sheets Research Associate, Natural Resource Ecology and Management, are also available on our website at: Oklahoma State University http://osufacts.okstate.edu R. Seth Coffey Graduate Research Assistant, Natural Resource Ecology and Man- agement, Oklahoma State University Carol E. Blocksome Research Assistant Professor, Horticulture and Natural Resources, Kansas State University Morgan L. Russell Extension Range Specialist, Ecosystem Science and Manage- ment, Texas A&M Agrilife Extension Service Dirac Twidwell Assistant Professor, Department of Agromony and Horticulture, University of Nebraska-Lincoln Introduction Having proper or adequate equipment on a prescribed fire is just as important as writing burn plans, firebreak prepa- rations or having the correct weather conditions. Oftentimes, burn managers will make equipment checklists prior to the burn; ensuring all needs have been met. Equipment may range from what the crew should wear to the type of pumper unit one might have on a fire. In planning a prescribed burn, one of the most important steps is considering what equipment is needed to properly protect the burn crew and contain the fire. There is no standard equipment list for conducting a burn. However, it is important to consider all equipment that could be used to make the prescribed burn safer and easier. When determining what equipment is needed it is best to go by the adage of “better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it.” Always remember no two burns are the same and each burn can require different pieces of equipment.
