1
00:00:00,77 --> 00:00:01,35
The the

2
00:00:11,85 --> 00:00:18,27
that they

3
00:00:21,01 --> 00:00:21,02
are

4
00:00:30,99 --> 00:00:37,55
all of you know. The majority
of fires to which we respond.

5
00:00:38,46 --> 00:00:41,24
But none of us can foretell.

6
00:00:44,64 --> 00:00:48,39
The fire efforts and equipment.

7
00:00:49,20 --> 00:00:56,37
And tricks of our way to
make a successful stop.

8
00:00:56,39 --> 00:01:02,51
Constant drilling is a necessity top line
efficiency to be maintained in the fire

9
00:01:02,51 --> 00:01:07,92
service. There is no substitute for
practice it is the only way we have.

10
00:01:08,30 --> 00:01:09,67
Knowing our equipment

11
00:01:09,67 --> 00:01:17,28
and developing the ability to
use it efficiently under Prime.

12
00:01:18,21 --> 00:01:23,76
Routine company the detailed procedures
normally associated with response.

13
00:01:24,03 --> 00:01:25,82
Are frequently overlooked.

14
00:01:26,66 --> 00:01:32,27
And this very oversight could
easily was looking like

15
00:01:34,72 --> 00:01:41,13
most of these procedures of which I speak
fundament the responsibility of carried

16
00:01:41,14 --> 00:01:45,37
out with any man in
charge of a firefighting.

17
00:01:46,34 --> 00:01:48,87
Suppose we consider the response.

18
00:01:48,94 --> 00:01:54,30
One by one.

19
00:01:55,09 --> 00:01:59,77
The best place to start is at
morning line up. Ask yourself.

20
00:02:00,71 --> 00:02:02,83
What is the numerical
strength of my company.

21
00:02:02,88 --> 00:02:06,98
How many men do I have does
everybody know what they are to do.

22
00:02:07,97 --> 00:02:12,27
Do I have a relief driver or
engineer who needs instructions.

23
00:02:12,29 --> 00:02:17,59
Who is the line who takes over a greater
price then and I'm in charge of the fire.

24
00:02:18,65 --> 00:02:23,52
This is the time to get organized
an hour later made a turn late

25
00:02:35,96 --> 00:02:40,06
on receipt of a long ring get
to that phone and I hurry.

26
00:02:41,85 --> 00:02:44,36
Identify your station determine who goes

27
00:02:44,36 --> 00:02:48,58
and where repeat the address write it down

28
00:02:51,54 --> 00:02:57,23
and take it with you other units
must know where they are going

29
00:03:02,89 --> 00:03:08,19
as well as your auto
fireman your engineer.

30
00:03:13,63 --> 00:03:18,08
And other members of your company.

31
00:03:29,49 --> 00:03:33,31
On receipt of a box align the
location is your first concern

32
00:03:36,74 --> 00:03:43,19
after double checking the box number by
reading the tape the location can be

33
00:03:43,19 --> 00:03:46,77
quickly determined by checking the
convenient list at the printer case

34
00:03:50,09 --> 00:03:53,50
but if you have not memorized the other
companies who will respond to the same

35
00:03:53,50 --> 00:03:56,87
location. Check the proper running card.

36
00:04:00,00 --> 00:04:05,19
And jot them down for a knowledge of
what help you'll have is vital to good

37
00:04:05,19 --> 00:04:06,97
firefighting.

38
00:04:08,70 --> 00:04:18,61
I don't forget to push
the answer back button.

39
00:04:19,85 --> 00:04:23,60
How else can the dispatcher know you will
receive the alarm and are on your way.

40
00:04:31,71 --> 00:04:36,99
Those still alive. I'm sorry rare.
You may receive one at any time.

41
00:04:37,01 --> 00:04:41,87
When you're doing a shot of the address
and determine what is burning a possible.

42
00:04:42,15 --> 00:04:50,77
I love your crew with a long ring.

43
00:04:50,79 --> 00:04:59,02
Then notify the fire dispatcher
before leaving waters.

44
00:05:02,06 --> 00:05:03,22
As a last precaution.

45
00:05:03,44 --> 00:05:07,84
In fact any time you leave waters
with your aberrated is checked to see

46
00:05:07,84 --> 00:05:14,25
that every member of your crew
is present. Let me repeat.

47
00:05:14,54 --> 00:05:17,21
Regardless of the type of alarm received.

48
00:05:17,33 --> 00:05:20,13
It is done practice to let
every member know the location

49
00:05:21,24 --> 00:05:24,70
that way there's less possibility
of going wrong and more assurance

50
00:05:24,70 --> 00:05:27,61
that every member will be thinking
about what might be involved

51
00:05:28,50 --> 00:05:32,48
and what job each must perform
in the probable lines of attack

52
00:05:38,92 --> 00:05:45,82
after you get rolling. There are
many things to be considered.

53
00:05:46,70 --> 00:05:50,62
If you are a two piece company
is your pump following.

54
00:05:51,62 --> 00:05:53,44
Motor trouble may have prevented it.

55
00:05:53,56 --> 00:05:58,05
Leaving quarters it which case you
will be forced to operate alone.

56
00:05:58,07 --> 00:05:59,94
Unless proper radio.

57
00:06:00,00 --> 00:06:09,54
Notification is immediately
given to the signal office.

58
00:06:09,56 --> 00:06:14,33
The speed of your response should
always be consistent with safety.

59
00:06:14,34 --> 00:06:19,55
It must vary with traffic conditions.

60
00:06:19,57 --> 00:06:21,72
Visibility.

61
00:06:23,08 --> 00:06:29,26
And whether they rely on
green lights is foolhardy

62
00:06:29,26 --> 00:06:31,94
across intersections under control.

63
00:06:38,93 --> 00:06:40,87
Other companies may be responding also

64
00:06:47,37 --> 00:06:48,99
anticipate their line of travel

65
00:06:52,84 --> 00:06:57,80
and watch for other emergency vehicles their
sirens may be synchronizing with your

66
00:06:57,80 --> 00:07:01,65
own.

67
00:07:02,57 --> 00:07:06,42
Speed and traffic conditions
are not your only problems

68
00:07:06,42 --> 00:07:07,59
when responding to an emergency.

69
00:07:08,98 --> 00:07:14,23
They say is making sure you're taking the
most direct route are your plans it in

70
00:07:14,23 --> 00:07:17,52
the house moving activities or not
blocking your line of travel.

71
00:07:21,54 --> 00:07:24,31
Or that street repair work will
not lead you into a dead end

72
00:07:24,31 --> 00:07:30,44
and costly delay.

73
00:07:30,46 --> 00:07:35,21
Notice of street closings hydrants
out of service water shut off

74
00:07:35,21 --> 00:07:41,49
and fumigation this are of little value
unless you plan ahead of time how you will

75
00:07:41,49 --> 00:07:50,74
prevent such conditions from
interfering with your operations.

76
00:07:51,71 --> 00:07:56,38
They proceed yours I've pointed out are
not complete by any means you will think

77
00:07:56,38 --> 00:07:59,48
about others of importance
put them into practice.

78
00:08:00,00 --> 00:08:06,31
Well use the accomplish the most important
objective your apparatus is needed at

79
00:08:06,31 --> 00:08:09,52
the scene of emergency say
that gets there safely.

80
00:08:13,14 --> 00:08:14,32
And when you do get there.

81
00:08:14,48 --> 00:08:19,60
Try to keep from blocking streets hydrants

82
00:08:23,25 --> 00:08:31,50
or other operators.

83
00:08:33,04 --> 00:08:38,12
Because lines across streets and over tracks
are to be avoided. Whenever possible.

84
00:08:38,58 --> 00:08:39,95
If this is not practical.

85
00:08:40,28 --> 00:08:44,22
Remember to clear the street as
soon as it is possible to do so.

86
00:08:48,53 --> 00:08:54,12
While still traveling to the location
given start thinking about the possible

87
00:08:54,12 --> 00:08:56,83
nature of the emergency.

88
00:08:56,85 --> 00:09:02,74
Is it a fire an explosion.

89
00:09:03,67 --> 00:09:10,10
Or a rescue operation. If
special equipment is needed.

90
00:09:10,20 --> 00:09:12,19
Do you have an.

91
00:09:12,21 --> 00:09:14,95
If not the you know how to get a

92
00:09:20,19 --> 00:09:22,80
thorough knowledge of your first
in this trick is essential.

93
00:09:23,88 --> 00:09:28,15
How else will you be able to estimate
possible conditions at any given location in

94
00:09:28,15 --> 00:09:33,12
the area what you assert does the location
consist mainly of single dwellings

95
00:09:34,66 --> 00:09:35,77
multiple occupancies.

96
00:09:37,79 --> 00:09:38,59
American jails

97
00:09:41,07 --> 00:09:48,87
or industrial establishment is there a
potential life hazard debate considered.

98
00:09:50,86 --> 00:09:54,71
And have you acquainted yourself with the
location of Examiner A fire fighting

99
00:09:54,71 --> 00:09:57,51
appliances that will help in
bringing a fire under control.

100
00:10:00,00 --> 00:10:07,65
Or help prevent excessive water
damage will need heavy streams.

101
00:10:11,78 --> 00:10:13,91
If no one hydrants will support them.

102
00:10:19,26 --> 00:10:20,47
If the fire is of any magnitude

103
00:10:21,44 --> 00:10:25,49
and automatic sprinklers are operating
with the nearest water mains supply

104
00:10:25,49 --> 00:10:27,75
firebombs as well as the sprinklers

105
00:10:28,58 --> 00:10:32,60
or must you use a hydrant
on an adjacent me.

106
00:10:33,35 --> 00:10:37,90
All of these problems are important to you
regardless of the type of aberrate as

107
00:10:37,90 --> 00:10:42,97
you may be in charge of drug companies
will be faced with problems of lathering

108
00:10:45,62 --> 00:10:52,62
forcible entry rescue.

109
00:10:54,51 --> 00:10:59,86
Ventilation.

110
00:10:59,88 --> 00:11:01,54
And the probability

111
00:11:01,54 --> 00:11:05,02
that your crew will be called
upon to lay additional lines

112
00:11:13,21 --> 00:11:16,71
or help with salvage operations.

113
00:11:20,41 --> 00:11:25,37
And of course the priority of operations
of regular salvage companies must be

114
00:11:25,37 --> 00:11:27,87
governed by the property
values to be protected.

115
00:11:28,64 --> 00:11:32,04
So you know where these values are located
in the occupancies in your district.

116
00:11:36,54 --> 00:11:38,00
In any event I think you'll agree

117
00:11:38,00 --> 00:11:43,74
that no definite plan of action can be
determined until you actually see what the

118
00:11:43,74 --> 00:11:49,82
emergency is at any rate preliminary
size up upon arrival it important.

119
00:11:49,83 --> 00:11:53,54
If you have a fire or if you've
got to quickly consider it size

120
00:11:53,54 --> 00:11:59,77
and extent a possible life hazard.

Explosive dust.

124

I build a jig with mint

125

and not just gas is this going to work

126
00:12:24,44 --> 00:12:26,94

emergency doing the right thing

129
00:12:37,03 --> 00:12:43,09
and doing it quickly is the key to a
successful firefight and your success

130
00:12:43,09 --> 00:12:48,88
or failure will be in direct proportion
to the amount of planning for your.
