  • Engine Riding Positions Officer Heo Nozzle Ff
    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.

This guide cannot possibly cover every regulatory standard that may apply to fire departments but does provide a wealth of information to assist employers with providing a safe and healthful work environment. Grant Funding Declaration The 23(g) State and Local Government Plan is funded by a federal grant which constitutes fifty percent of the overall budget. Fifty percent is financed by State funds. Clarification on Fire Department and Fire District Illinois OSHA understands the similarities and differences between a municipal fire department and a fire protection district, however, for the purposes of simplicity the term “fire department” will be used in this guide to reference both types of fire protection organizations.

  • Operations Safety – Lost/Trapped Firefighter Policy # 13-0320.2 Issued 03/20/2013
    HR/LF OPERATIONS SAFETY – LOST/TRAPPED FIREFIGHTER POLICY # 13-0320.2 ISSUED 03/20/2013 Subject: Lost/Trapped Firefighter-Self-Survival actions. Purpose: This policy outlines self-survival procedures for firefighters who are lost or trapped. Scope: This policy applies to all New Salem Fire Department personnel. The nature of firefighting places the firefighter at risk of becoming lost or trapped. The toxic environment provides only a narrow window of survivability. Survival depends on a mix of predictable self-survival actions by the lost firefighter and the Incident Commander. All crews entering the hazard zone must have a portable radio and personal rescue tools Minimum crew size is two and crews must stay intact 1 Crews must have an assignment and work under the supervision of a Division/Group Supervisor Crews must follow air management guidelines The following are basic guidelines for firefighters to follow if they become lost or trapped. Call for help immediately Firefighters who find themselves lost/trapped must immediately use “MAYDAY” to announce their situation while they continue to attempt to find a way out. Firefighters shall not delay notification of distress. Notifications must occur as soon as the firefighter THINKS he or she is in trouble. The acronym LIPS is used to provide information that will assist in rescuing the firefighter: L- Location - Advise command of your location I- Identification - Give your Name & Department P- Problem - Low on air, lost, trapped, entangled etc. S- Survival - Start self rescue and survival skills (ACTIVATE PASS) Other radio channel If a lost firefighter cannot contact dispatch, or other units on the assigned radio channel, the firefighter should go to another channel to attempt contact and declare an emergency.
