    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.

  • Module 8: Water Use Topic 1
    Module 8: Water Use Topic 1: Introduction Module introduction Narration Script: Water can be a good friend on the fireline, and you’ll want to take care of that precious commodity and use it wisely. You may have to bring the water to the scene of the fire yourself using a backpack pump. Or, water or agents may be available from an engine or from another water source by way of a portable pump. In that case, you’ll be using hoses and nozzles to attack the flames. Hoses can make fire fighting easier, but you’ll need to be proficient at simple and progressive hose lays. And your choice of nozzle to put on the end of that hose will vary according to the fire environment you’re facing. If you’re thinking there’s a lot to learn about spraying water or foam on a fire, you’re right. That’s why it calls for an entire water delivery system. Module overview Spraying water or foam on a fire may seem like one of the more fun parts of wildland fire fighting. However, before the water comes out of the hose, there are some basics you’ll need to be familiar with, including the: • “Ins” and “outs” of backpack pumps • Tools of the trade—hose, nozzles, and hose-related equipment • Types of hose lays—simple and progressive • Hand signals specific to water use • Types of fire streams—fog and straight • Hose and equipment maintenance Narration Script: Water, water everywhere—well, that’s not exactly true on the fireline.

  • Rock Hill Fire Department
    Early History Of The Rock Hill Fire Department 1870-1945 Researched & Written By: Carter H. Jones Special Projects Coordinator S. C. State Firefighters’ Association September 2020 Early History Of The Rock Hill Fire Department 1870- The story of Rock Hill and the ultimate evolution of fire protection in that community goes back to the late 1700’s. Located in the piedmont of South Carolina, the area which eventually developed into Rock Hill was initially settled by the Catawba Indians. As the backcountry or inland areas of the state began to open up to colonial frontiersmen, white settlers, most of whom were Scots-Irish, came up from the coastal regions and down from Pennsylvania. In the late 1700’s, a number of the newcomers established their homes in what became known as Ebenezerville, a small village which flourished around the Ebenezer Presbyterian Church that was established in 1785. The settlers even started the first school in the area known as the Ebenezer Academy. By the mid-1800’s plans were being crafted to construct the Charlotte and South Carolina Railroad which would run through the Ebenezer community. However, the residents there vehemently objected to this project because it likely would disturb their way of life. Consequently, railroad officials worked a deal to move the tracks just a few miles east of the village in the vicinity of what is now Rock Hill. Cotton became the major industry in the region which allowed the railroad to further expand opportunities for commerce and growth. The founding families of the new community of Rock Hill attempted to incorporate the town in 1855, but the General Assembly failed to take up the matter.

    Chapter 3 Chapter 3 – Basic Hose Basic Hose 53 Seattle Fire Department BASIC HOSE INTRODUCTION Simply stated, the mission of our organization is to save lives and protect property. The application of water on fire is a direct action that allows us to meet our goals and produce a successful outcome for those in danger during a fire. A competent and well-organized deployment of fire hose is essential. Any number of firefighters, in any combination, must be able to work in concert to make the appropriate hose lays quickly. Every second counts at a fire scene. There is no substitute for teamwork and there’s nothing worse than a mistake in execution. The hose laying operation is often the most visible part of our job at a fire. Effective and coordinated execution gives the public a positive perception of our department and its members. This section contains the information and techniques necessary for the loading and deployment of both supply and attack lines used in the Seattle Fire Department. These are among the most basic of firefighting skills and the foundation upon which all hose operations are built. A diligent study of these concepts will aid in the development of the necessary confidence needed to work with a first-line team. Chapter 3 • Basic Hose 54 Seattle Fire Department BASIC HOSE GLOSSARY AERATION- A process by which air is introduced into a liquid, either by bubbling the air through it or by spraying the liquid into the air at normal pressures. APPLIANCE- Any variety of tools or devices carried on an engine that connect hoses or stream devices together.
