  • 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.

  • Salem Fire Standards of Cover
    2018 - 2023 Salem Fire Department Standards of Cover Standards of Coverage and Deployment Plan Salem Fire Department, Oregon Introduction The following report serves as the Salem Fire Department “Standards of Cover” document. The Center for Fire Public Safety Excellence (CPSE) defines the process, known as “deployment analysis,” as written procedures that determine the distribution and concentration of fixed and mobile resources of an organization. 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 in addition to homeland security issues. Creating a Standards of Cover document requires that many areas be researched, studied, and evaluated. The following 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 Wolff family and the Green Bay Fire Department family suffered a tremendous loss on this day. This report is dedicated to ‘Arnie’, his wife, his children, …and to his firefighting family. Arnie’s many contributions as a firefighter/paramedic, soccer coach, and friend will never be forgotten. His calm demeanor, caring dedication to his profession and to his co-workers and the citizens he served, has forever enriched those who knew Arnie personally. Following the collapse on Edgewood Drive, fire department personnel on the scene performed at extraordinary levels. There were numerous displays of heroism demonstrated by members of the department during the rescue of firefighter Jo Brinkley-Chaudoir and repeated attempts to reach Lt. Wolff. We present this report and the recommendations that come from it to the Fire Chief, the Mayor and Common Council, and the members of the Green Bay Fire Department for their consideration. We have come together with a unity of purpose because August 13 th, 2006 was a day of deep shock and suffering for us. How could this have happened? How can we avoid such a tragedy from ever happening again? The Edgewood Analysis Team was convened to answer these questions.
