Well done video from Stockton Firefighters Local 456 shows firefighters finding and removing an occupant from this Aug. 13 apartment video. With proper editing videos such as this can give the public insight into a firefighter's work. What ways does your department use video?
"Kenny had the pipe, I flaked the line like I had been taught at the training academy that I had graduated from a week ago. The pump operator throttled up; I heard it whine as I masked up and turned my pack in." Michael Morse of Rescuing Providence with a tale from the past
Rescuers pulled out a firefighter who was trapped for 32 hours after responding to a fire and huge explosions in Tianjin. At least 17 firefighters are among the dead, 13 missing.
“During that evacuation process, firefighter Kevin Bell became entangled in a piece of furniture and wasn’t able to extricate himself and get out of building,” Hartford Assistant Fire Chief Scott Brady.
"Getting out with your companies or neighboring departments is a sure way to discover the ways in which things can go wrong in the system we're currently working in and the strategy, tactics, and procedures that we employ." Erich Roden, FireRescue Magazine Editor-in-Chief
Questioning became particularly pointed when one board member noted that some professions require many hours of training while emergency responders face no across-the-board training requirement.
