In January, 2015, I became the Fire Chief of the Calgary Fire Department (CFD). It is both an efficient, well-run organization and one existing in an environment of increasing diversity and seemingly endless change. What then, is required to be an effective leader in such circumstances? Although I have been with the CFD for 23 years and a deputy chief for much of that time, when I became Fire Chief, I felt that my first task was to talk to the members, listen to their concerns and ideas and learn about what makes them proud to be a CFD member, what matters to them and what, if any, changes should be made to ensure that ours is a healthy, safe, and supportive work environment for all members.

In the previous issue we discussed the definition for situational awareness and shared some examples for how situational awareness can be impacted. In this installment you will be provided with ten situational awareness best practices. This list was developed based on research I conducted with expert-level fireground commanders. This list is not a prescription for success. Rather, the recommendations are designed to help you over come some of the more pervasive situational awareness barriers. [ 1430 more words. ]

As a largely misunderstood firefighting tactic, the use of foam has at times been confusing to the fire service. The result is that many municipal brigades/departments have just avoided the use of foam, especially Class A foam and have transitioned to using emulsifiers or wetting agents. While the end objective is to stretch valuable and at times limited water resources, it is more important to fully understand the fit for purpose of each of these technologies. [ 1592 more words. ]

The addition of a trigger valve control to a firefighting nozzle, while not particularly revolutionary in the global market, when integrated into Task Force Tip’s unique slide style shutoff valve does offer a level of firefighting stream performance never before realized. Unlike common twist or ball style shutoff designs, the slide valve provides total nozzle operator flow control while maintaining a hard hitting, turbulence free straight stream throughout the nozzle’s rated flow and pressure range.

The world’s first ship to run on methanol will soon sail after the fire risk assessment by SP Fire Research was approved. Methanol has for long been handled with traditional fire protection in cargo pump-rooms on tankers, but a deeper understanding of the fuel called for a new approach to design fire safety. Solution to the SECA challenge The Stena Germanica is a so called ro-pax ferry, bringing vehicles and passengers across the Baltic Sea. [ 1492 more words. ]

Understanding how the boat operates and how the river behaves are essential to successful swift-water rescues. Of all the technical rescue disciplines, I find swift water to be one of the least forgiving. Rivers are incredibly dynamic environments with an unlimited supply of hazards that can change a seemingly uneventful rescue sequence into a nightmare. Rescue Methods Each boat will perform differently in the water as the loads within the boat change. [ 1381 more words. ]

In the past decades, firefighters have been glorified for their tough and dirty exteriors that demonstrate their heroic efforts to fight fires and save lives.Soot covered turn out gear often served as a badge of honor, illustrating how courageous these men and woman are in their day to day job. Recent research, however, has suggested that the fire flames are not the only battles our fire fighters are fighting. [ 615 more words. ]

Back in the 1980’s I had a deputy chief named Stewart Rose who used to talk about this in his strategy and tactics classes. He would say something to the effect that if we attacked the fire properly by taking the heat out of it, we shouldn’t need our structural firefighting ensemble to go in. In fact, we should be able to fight the fire buck naked. [ 2314 more words. ]

With some 1,400 vehicles in operation in around 90 countries, the PANTHER represents one of the world’s most successful ARFFs. This achievement is simply explained by the PANTHER’s inherent qualities of power, speed and performance, which are underlined at first glance by the striking design of the new, fourth generation. Moreover, the latest version of the vehicle has been further optimized, particularly with regard to occupant safety, extinguishing performance and operating comfort. [ 767 more words. ]
