  • Analysis of Fires and Firefighting Operations on Fully Cellular Container Vessels Over the Period 2000 – 2015
    Analysis of fires and firefighting operations on fully cellular container vessels over the period 2000 – 2015 Diploma dissertation for the award of the academic degree "Diplom-Wirtschaftsingenieur für Seeverkehr (FH)" (BSc equivalent in marine industrial engineering) in the Summer semester of 2016 submitted to Bremen University of Applied Sciences – Faculty 5 "Nature and Engineering" on the study course "Diplom-Wirtschaftsingenieur für Seeverkehr" (nautical science) Examined by: Professor Captain Thomas Jung Co-examiner: Captain Ute Hannemann Submitted by: Helge Rath, Neustadtswall 14, 28199 Bremen, Germany Phone: 0170-5582269 Email: [email protected] Student registration no.: 355621 Date: Thursday, September 01, 2016 Foreword I Foreword I remember walking with my grandfather by the locks of the Kiel Canal in Brunsbüttel as a small child and marveling at the ships there. Thanks to his many years working as an electrician on the locks, my grandfather was able to tell me a lot about the ships that passed through. And it was these early impressions that first awakened my interest in shipping. Having completed a "vacation internship" at the age of 17 at the shipping company Leonhardt & Blumberg (Hamburg), I decided to train as a ship's mechanic. A year later, I started training at the Hamburg-based shipping company Claus-Peter Offen and qualified after 2 ½ years. I then worked for 18 months as a ship's mechanic on the jack-up vessel THOR, operated by Hochtief Solutions AG, which gave me the opportunity to gain a wealth of experience in all things nautical. While studying for my degree in nautical science at the Bremen University of Applied Sciences, I spent the semester breaks on two different fully cellular container vessels owned by the shipping company Claus-Peter Offen to further my knowledge as a ship's engineer and prospective nautical engineer.

Standard Firefighting Orders (F.O.) and Watch Out Situations (W.O.) LFR Playbook – Wildland Fire Operating Guide (December 2006) T ASK S KILL DESCRIPTION AND DETAIL Firefighter Safety F.O. #10 – Fight fire aggressively, having provided for safety first. First identify L.C.E.S. and brief all members to ensure they are known and understood (F.O.’s #4, #5, #7, and #8). Size up the fire and know what the fire is doing or get in contact with someone that can (F.O. #2). All fire line must begin with an adequate anchor point (W.O. #8). Fire Line Location Always start with an anchor point. Will the location of your anchor point keep the fire from hooking around behind you? Answer this question or make adjustments to answer it. Consider another point to begin if you can’t answer it. Will some improvements work to answer the question? Usually, it is best to begin downhill of the fire. Look for natural features to help you; utilize wetlands, rock outcroppings, roads or trails to start with. Constructing Fireline (Wildland) Page 1 Once the anchor point is established (Benchmark – Anchor Point Established), time to build line on the fire flanks. Direct attack with one foot in the green and one foot in the black is safest and preferred. Try to keep the line as straight as possible and utilize natural features to lessen the workload.

  • Protecting the Forest from Wildfire
    Stewardship Notes Indiana Division of Forestry Protecting the Forest from Wildfire When fire danger rating is "high," it means conditions are ripe for wild unplanned fires in your woods. Minimizing damage from, or preventing, wildfires is one more way you can protect your forest investment and guarantee that what is growing in your woods will meet your future ownership objectives. If the objective is quality timber, fire can be a most destructive agent. Most hardwood species have thin bark covering the cambium, or growing tissue. If the cambium reaches 212 degrees Fahrenheit or higher for more than a few seconds, its cells will be "cooked," and the tissue will die. Bark covering the dead tissue will fall off, exposing the wood underneath to insects and disease. The result is a loss of wood quality due to staining, insect boring and decay. Wounds caused by fire normally form at ground level; most of a hardwood tree's value is located in the first 16' log (butt log). A wildfire may remove most of the litter layer, and will kill understory shrubs and herbaceous plants. This results in degradation of water quality in nearby streams due to soil erosion or leaching of nutrients from the soil, depending on slope and time of year. Habitat may be adversely affected for some species of deep woods birds and animals because fire may kill larger trees and allow openings to develop. These openings allow other kinds of wildlife to invade the site, and push out those critters that benefit from a closed, dense crown canopy.

Entrapment may or may not include deployment of a fire shelter for its intended purpose. Entrapment may result in a serious wildland fire accident, a non-serious wildland fire accident, or a near-miss.” (Interagency Standards for Fire and Fire Aviation Operations, 2011 p. 18-6) I. SUMMARY On Friday April 29, 2011, the Bull Fire entrapped and burned two firefighters on the Coronado National Forest near the Mexican border, west of Nogales, Arizona. A local firefighter reported the Bull Fire to Tucson Interagency Dispatch on Tuesday afternoon, April 26, while it was still two miles south of the border, in Mexico. A quick aerial reconnaissance estimated the fire at 15-25 acres. The District Ranger and District Fire Management Officer flew over the fire on the morning of the 27th and found that it had grown from 25 acres to over 1200 acres in less than 24 hours.
