GALLAGHER, 0.N's INATOR 1410iE1 TRAINING GUIDE Firefighter 1 Level As part of,the effort to reduce fine loss in the State of Alaska, the office of Fire Service Training recognized the need for a model training guide which.couId be used by any fiee department to organize its own training system. The following guide was developed to assist training officers in planning training with emphasis on conformance to recommended national standards (NFPA 1001). The accreditation requirements have been divided primarily into one and two hour segments for a, total of 180 hours. The Basic First Aid requirements (20 hours) have not been included; the local -jurisdiction having control shall make *the decision as to what course will meet both local requirements and those of the standard. Each segment of the training guide lists the topic objectives,nstructor references, materials and equipment needed, description of what is to be accomplished, drill setting, and a leLson plan for the actual presentation. They are presented here to be used as a guide in planning a well-rounded program to improve fire department efficiency as well as to more .clearly define Firefighter I requirements. Some segments will not apply to all fire departments. In such cases, the training officer is encouraged to revise or develop replacements more closely fitting the needs of the individual department. Exposure to all the topics should be encouraged, however. Departments should have some knowledge of all the subject areas, although they may not have the particular equipment, apparatus, or facilities used. As note4 above, this material 4,presented as a guide for developing and implementing local training programs. Revisions will be made from time to time to insure currency and to improve the content. Any suggestions you may have will be helpful. William A. Hagevig, Supervisor Fire Service Training Program 4 MODEL.

    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.

It follows closely the Center for Fire Public Safety Excellence (CPSE) Standards of Coverage model that develops written procedures to determine the distribution and concentration of a fire and emergency service agency’s fixed and mobile resources. The purpose for completing such a document is to assist the agency in ensuring a safe and effective response force for fire suppression, emergency medical services, and specialty response situations. Creating a Standards of Coverage and Deployment Plan document requires that a number of areas be researched, studied, and evaluated. This report will begin with an overview of both the community and the agency. Following this overview, the plan will discuss areas such as risk assessment, critical task analysis, agency service level objectives, and distribution and concentration measures. The report will provide analysis of historical performance and will conclude with policy and operational recommendations.

Garcia, Engineer Review Level: 2 Crystal Giannopulos, Administrative Support: Senior Administrative Clerk ADA PURPOSE The Fresno Fire Department (FFD or Department) utilizes 10 and 14-foot “Fresno” Attic Ladders, 10-foot collapsible Attic Ladders and the Little Giant Velocity 13 (carried on engine apparatus) and Defender 17 (carried on aerial apparatus). APPLICATION Specifically designed for use where space is limited, the “Fresno” Attic Ladder is particularly ideal for entering attics through ceiling scuttle holes and similar close- quarter situations. The little Giant Ladders are ideal where an articulating extendable ladder unit is helpful, such as smoke detector installs, negotiating over a fence or other situations where a step ladder is needed. OPERATIONAL POLICY The Little Giant Velocity 13 (carried on engine apparatus) shall not be used on the fire ground for firefighting inside or outside of a structure. It is not National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) compliant. The Little Giant Defender 17 (carried on aerial apparatus) meets the NFPA standard for Manufacturer’s design of fire department ladders and has been tested to the requirements of NFPA standard on use, maintenance, and service testing of in- service fire department ground ladders. With such certifications and testing, the Little Giant Defender 17 can be used on all fire ground operations. Section 304.007 Page 1 of 24 OPERATIONAL GUIDELINE Fresno Attic Ladder The shoulder carry method is used with the 10-foot and 14-foot “Fresno” Attic Ladder when there is sufficient room to maneuver.

  • 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.
