Just one year before the Confined Spaces Regulations 1997 and Approved Code of Practice (ACoP) came into force, the HSE prosecuted Tayside Fire Board for the death of a firefighter who was killed trying to rescue two men trapped inside a silo containing soda ash. Since 1997, the relevance of these regulations across both the emergency response sector and for fire and rescue officers in particular has remained unchanged. [ 1300 more words. ]

There are few things more uncomfortable and more dangerous than working in a HazMat suit in a HazMat Danger area. There are also few things more exhausting. To the public HazMat Operatives seem rather like tame Martians oddly human shaped but a different colour, moving like automatons, stopping for a rest frequently and avoided by all the normal looking people.

A transformation of the firefighter’s traditional role is well underway at the UK’s West Midlands Fire Service, which serves 2.7 million people at the heart of England. The brigade, which is the country’s second biggest outside London, is establishing itself as one prized by its diverse communities for providing a range of services which go far beyond emergency response. WMFS has led the way in reducing call-out demand from emergency ‘999’ calls, through its prevention and protection activities. [ 1401 more words. ]

This year marks the 55th anniversary of Resusci Anne, the world’s most famous life-sized resuscitation manikin, who was created by Asmund Laerdal to help teach people CPR. Since the 1960s, how we practice CPR has changed very little but advances in technology used in conjunction with a manikin shows that improving the quality of CPR can increase survival rates. To help us deliver quality CPR, Jon Laerdal, Managing Director of Laerdal Medical UK, talks through the evolution of CPR and how firefighters in New York have helped improve out of hospital Sudden Cardiac Arrests (SCAs) survival rates.

With the dual mounted camera the Huginn X1 UAV, made by the Danish company Sky-Watch, is capable of taking high-resolution images and thermal imagery at the same time, making it possible to navigate both day and night.

Whilst innovation is fundamental to driving progress through the adoption of new materials and product design, this can also be accompanied by increased costs as new, better performing materials are often intrinsically more costly to produce whilst improved manufacturing techniques require additional investment. Over the past 10 years, PPE for the emergency services and, in particular, the fire and rescue services has developed by providing more specialised clothing designed to protect wearers from exposure to the specific hazards and dangers associated with their differing operational conditions.

There is an increasing emphasis among the global firefighter family on the importance of health and well-being. This is partly about the health and well-being of the people living in our communities, but just as importantly about firefighters themselves. Hainsworth recently returned from the Fire Industry Equipment Research Organisation (FIERO) PPE symposium in Raleigh, North Carolina, where there was a lot of talk about the well-being of our firefighters.
