    Fire Fighter Safety and Emergency Response for Solar Power Systems Final Report A DHS/Assistance to Firefighter Grants (AFG) Funded Study Prepared by: Casey C. Grant, P.E. Fire Protection Research Foundation The Fire Protection Research Foundation One Batterymarch Park Quincy, MA, USA 02169-7471 Email: [email protected] http://www.nfpa.org/foundation © Copyright Fire Protection Research Foundation May 2010 Revised: October, 2013 (This page left intentionally blank) FOREWORD Today's emergency responders face unexpected challenges as new uses of alternative energy increase. These renewable power sources save on the use of conventional fuels such as petroleum and other fossil fuels, but they also introduce unfamiliar hazards that require new fire fighting strategies and procedures. Among these alternative energy uses are buildings equipped with solar power systems, which can present a variety of significant hazards should a fire occur. This study focuses on structural fire fighting in buildings and structures involving solar power systems utilizing solar panels that generate thermal and/or electrical energy, with a particular focus on solar photovoltaic panels used for electric power generation. The safety of fire fighters and other emergency first responder personnel depends on understanding and properly handling these hazards through adequate training and preparation. The goal of this project has been to assemble and widely disseminate core principle and best practice information for fire fighters, fire ground incident commanders, and other emergency first responders to assist in their decision making process at emergencies involving solar power systems on buildings. Methods used include collecting information and data from a wide range of credible sources, along with a one-day workshop of applicable subject matter experts that have provided their review and evaluation on the topic.

  • Pdf Fire Services Final Report (1.74
    To: Kelliann Dean, Deputy Minister, Department of Municipal Affairs Deputy Mayor Laurie Murley, President, UNSM Marie Walsh, President, AMANS Rod Nielsen President, Fire Services Association From: Fire Services Study Steering Committee Date: August 3, 2017 Re: Municipal Review of Fire Services in Nova Scotia As you are aware, the Union of Nova Scotia Municipalities and the Association of Municipal Administrators of Nova Scotia, with the financial support of the Province of Nova Scotia, engaged a consultant to facilitate a frank and open discussion on fire services. The consultant was asked to meet with representative stakeholders to ascertain and prioritize key issues at the local level, to consider opportunities to address these issues, and to facilitate the sharing of best practices, lessons learned and possible areas for collaboration. The work of the consultant was overseen by a Project Steering Committee comprised of representatives from UNSM, AMANS, the Fire Services Association and the Fire Marshal’s Office. The task of the Project Steering Committee was to select the consultant, to ensure the terms of reference were met and to facilitate the work of the consultant. Pomax Consulting was engaged to undertake the review. Their report is attached in Appendix B. Project Steering Committee Observations The Consultant has fulfilled the terms of reference. The Project Steering Committee recognizes the hard work of the consultant in documenting stakeholders’ views and concerns. The recommendations of the consultant make sense, in that the issues are complex and not solved by one group alone. The need to work together is paramount. During the stakeholder consultations, it became evident that there were varying degrees of understanding with respect to fire services in Nova Scotia, particularly around authority and areas of responsibility.

  • Articulation from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    Articulation From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Examples of Articulations: staccato, staccatissimo,martellato, marcato, tenuto. In music, articulation refers to the musical performance technique that affects the transition or continuity on a single note, or between multiple notes or sounds. Types of articulations There are many types of articulation, each with a different effect on how the note is played. In music notation articulation marks include the slur, phrase mark, staccato, staccatissimo, accent, sforzando, rinforzando, and legato. A different symbol, placed above or below the note (depending on its position on the staff), represents each articulation. Tenuto Hold the note in question its full length (or longer, with slight rubato), or play the note slightly louder. Marcato Indicates a short note, long chord, or medium passage to be played louder or more forcefully than surrounding music. Staccato Signifies a note of shortened duration Legato Indicates musical notes are to be played or sung smoothly and connected. Martelato Hammered or strongly marked Compound articulations[edit] Occasionally, articulations can be combined to create stylistically or technically correct sounds. For example, when staccato marks are combined with a slur, the result is portato, also known as articulated legato. Tenuto markings under a slur are called (for bowed strings) hook bows. This name is also less commonly applied to staccato or martellato (martelé) markings. Apagados (from the Spanish verb apagar, "to mute") refers to notes that are played dampened or "muted," without sustain. The term is written above or below the notes with a dotted or dashed line drawn to the end of the group of notes that are to be played dampened.

We encourage the elimination of barriers that restrict access to AP for students from ethnic, racial, and socioeconomic groups that have been traditionally underserved. Schools should make every effort to ensure their AP classes reflect the diversity of their student population. The College Board also believes that all students should have access to academically challenging course work before they enroll in AP classes, which can prepare them for AP success.
