Note: Not all fire departments are financially capable of providing specified training and equipment. In some suburban/rural areas, several departments may need to pool their resources to conduct specialized training and/or increase their level of service. (Fire Rescue ) The next step will involve determing the required skills . “Once the level of service has been determined, then the training officer and fire department leadership must determine the skills required by individual firefighters to be competent in delivering those services. Note: Some skill levels will be determined by company performance, so it’s important to include in the assessment a system to evaluate the individual as part of a team.” (fire
I think that the government should have different methods on finding out who’s qualified for certain leadership positions. They should implement methods that observe and evaluate employees on the job doing the job. They should simulate challenges and different situations and base their promotions on those results. This is the only way of choosing a qualified candidate. It is very important for a job like this where lives are at risk, for your “street smarts” to be sharp, a paper and pencil test does not test for these skills.
The backfill material needs to be compacted in lifts of loose depth that does not exceeding 8 inches and compacted to at least 95% of Standard Proctor Density at optimum moisture content, +/- two percentage points, as determined by ASTM D698 or provide the City with suitable advanced technology compaction testing methods, as approved by the Director 7. Is the company we hire to do the work required to be registered in any way? Yes, the company must be certified to work in public rights-of- way. 8. What is a right-of-way?
Specific questions from iLab Scenario 1 Discuss how changing the type of antennas affects the amount of signal spilling outside the building? What are your recommendations? The problem that arises from changing an antenna is that the outer lying areas of the network can lose their signal. One solution to this problem is to lower the antenna output power via the controls of the access point. However if that presents the same problem with loss of signal there are alternatives such as WiFi blocking wallpaper (Strange) or paints that will block the WiFi signal from leaving the building (Jowitt).
Use of space impacting on emergency procedures Throughout the workplace there have been provided various facilities for the control of and response to fire such as in date fire extinguishers of the right type and quantity located near to an adequate number of signed fire exits. Although this in commendable fire provisions have been compromised by haphazard storage which has lead to blocked fire exits, obstructed fire extinguishers and inadequate internal directional signage. In the event of a fire each of these issues could lead to a loss of revenue due to stopped production etc and, more importantly, in the event a major fire, serious injury or death. Again these issues are not only a breach of some of the afore mentioned Acts and Regulations but also The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 which requires employers to assess the risk from fire and then take reasonable action to reduce the risk of fire starting and put in place procedures to ensure the safety of employees should a fire start. 3.
There are certain techniques that need to take place to successfully control FIRE. Its is very important that a fire fighter knows how to effectively attack and extinguish structure fires, vehicle fires, refuse fire, and wild fires. When suppressing structure fires , this must be done by using rescue operation, forcible entry , ventilation, utilities control, loss control, cause determination and recovery efforts. Firefighters need to be able to carry out assignments in a timely manner, and work properly with crew members. Each crew member should have a high level of situational awareness before entering a burning building.
A fire, can cause sudden panic as it is an unpredictable event. There are certain priorities that should be followed in the case of a fire. The first and most important thing to do would be to inform all service users, medical professionals, staff, visitors and any other persons inside the building that there is a fire. This would be done with the use of a fire alarm, as soon as an individual notices the fire or the signs of a possible fire they should trigger the alarm, in order to alert and inform everyone else of the danger. This would be followed by the second most important priority which would be evacuating all persons from the building.
Fences: A Community Divided PUB 670 GS Public Planning and Change Management By: Terry K. Suggs March 20, 2013 Zoning is a restriction on the way that land can be used. It allows governments to control the development of communities and ensure they are functional and safe places. Without zoning, a gun store could open up next to a school, an adult club next to a playground, and a busy store on your residential street. Zoning prevents these things from happening and by doing so; it protects property values and ensures communities work in an orderly fashion. Elected officials serve as the local governing body and perform multiple roles in the planning process.
ISO collects information on municipal fire-protection efforts in communities throughout the United States. In each of those communities, ISO analyzes the relevant data using a Fire Suppression Rating Schedule (FSRS). They then assign a Public Protection Classification from 1 to 10. Class 1 generally represents superior property fire protection, and Class 10 indicates that the area's fire-suppression program does not meet ISO’s minimum criteria. By classifying communities' ability to suppress fires, ISO helps the communities evaluate their public fire-protection services.
During the process of fighting fires there is alot to be aware of such as thick smoke. Smoke entering your lungs can be a huge risk when it comes to your cardiovascular health. However each firefighter is given a face mask to help you to breathe and protect your lungs from the smoke. How protective are these masks? Alot of the masks contain center ventilation orifice allowing easy air exchange and helps prevent buildup of CO2(the thick smoke created by fire).
