As governments and firefighters attempt to switch spending and efforts from wildfire suppression to prevention, the often overlooked detection stage is seeing a technology revolution that is making a difference. The economic, social and human costs of wildfire are staggering and getting worse. In the US for example, annual suppression costs alone have hit nearly US$1 billion in three of the past 15 years, and some predict that number will double in the next 15 years. [ 1064 more words. ]

The fire service has always prided itself on attempting to be proactive versus reactive. So many issues are still being evaluated and trained on that sometimes it seems impossible to remember everything. One of the areas that we must continue to be proactive in the fire service is staging equipment for the prolonged incident. That is why the KrusePak was created. [ 479 more words. ]

It seems almost every aspect of this industry has kept pace with changing technology, from breathing apparatus and bunker gear, to communication equipment and incident management systems. But what about the most common tools we depend on? Firefighters have used the same traditional axe design for over 150 years. It is time for a new tradition! The BADAXX was created by Scott McCann, a Fire Lieutenant with the Spokane Fire Department for the past 23 years. [ 505 more words. ]

In the years following, we’ve refined TIC design through innovation and expertise, delivering several successful generations of market-leading TICs. Our state-of-the-art cameras help you in various situations, such as fast and safe navigation in smoke filled rooms.

We’re forever told that smart cities will bring us closer together, organise us, and clear up our room of millennial problems. We won’t have to worry we aren’t counted. Our data will be counted for us, mapped onto an urban organism beating lasciviously with currents of people. But some things don’t change, as much as they’re partial to invention. A network of intelligence can still allow neglect, accident and unforeseen behaviour to trickle through its borders. [ 443 more words. ]

Fire apparatus are designed to get equipment and firefighters safely to a blaze so that firefighters can help put out a fire and deal with other life-saving situations. While, according to National Fire protection Association (NFPA) statistics, fire apparatus crashed peaked in 2006, the fire service is still experiencing more than 12,000 vehicle crashes every year and this problem continues to cause many types of injuries, fatalities, and other problems.

All over the world, new alternative fuels are emerging to replace fossil fuels such as gasoline and diesel. The overall benefits are great but with new fuels and technical solutions, new risks emerge. The first responders face new situations that they are not familiar with and have to make decisions that they are not trained for. The lack of education and experience may have consequences on the society due to which kind of decision that was taken. [ 1175 more words. ]

One of the primary objectives in basic firefighter training is the development of knowledge and proficiencies associated with various types of forcible entry techniques and building access as well as search and rescue/victim removal techniques during a structure fire incident. In many fire schools, nearly half the allotted time is spent on these fire ground activities. In the structural firefighting world, one must continuously train to maintain proficiency in forcible entry, ladder deployment and search and rescue so that time is not lost during that critical period of survival.
