我们是短款还是短视?

文章和照片由Rick Fritz

I was fortunate to grow up in a fire department (Muscatine, Iowa) that hada lot of people to throw at a fire。Our引擎1 was staffed with six: Joe F. drove; Ralph B. was the shift assistant chief and rode in the right front seat; either Larry Z. or Larry T. rode in thejump seatsnear theattack lines(然后回来,它是助推器线);和戴维斯,我挂在尾板上的亲爱的生活。
Ourladder truck作为发动机3只有三个(when it was staffed). The south-end engine (Engine 2) was staffed with only two.少数人员配备is not a new phenomenon. The difference was that each one of us had a非常具体set of taskswe每次火灾都表演。
Joe drove and pumped. Ralph was theincident commander。取决于发动机的哪一侧火灾,这两个拉里之一就是天线声,由其他拉里和戴维支持。我的工作是得到水。Davey S.不允许躺在;他的习惯是错误的习惯,失去了消防栓的错误方式。拉尔夫将通过阻止适当数量的手指表示一两条线,我将在街道上放置适量的2½英寸袜子,“把棉花铺设在街上”和“铺设双重”)。我会把消防栓浇口,等待joe的信号(如果我能看到他),and open the hydrant its full 22 turns. If I couldn’t see Joe, I would count to 30 and give ’em water. The whole operation有t.o take less than a minute from the time I first snubbed the hydrant.
这是什么意思在今天的消防服务中?这意味着退出关于工作人员的抱怨,这将永远不会归来,并且你可能从未经历过第一的地方。走出去, and figure out how to do it with the staffing you have. We were given this fire service by some real innovators. They survived the Great Depression, World War II, Korea, Vietnam, Desert Storm, Iraq, and Afghanistan, as well as the war years of the late ’60s and early ‘70s. These people wrote our textbooks and were speakers at FDIC. Ask them to help. They are used to doing something with nothing. Solicit their helpthey retire or die. Read and comprehend National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 1710: Standard for the Organization and Deployment of Fire Suppression Operations,职业消防部门的紧急医疗业务,以及公众的特殊行动
Do more than give lip service to “back-to-basics.” Live it.教小伙子为什么我们有软管带,为什么我们现在有可调节的消防栓扳手,以及为什么消防栓袋的内容是它们的内容。如果你不知道,你会学到一点历史。不仅仅是抱怨三人发动机公司。弄清楚如何用两人,三个和四人发动机完成所需的一切。您可能知道现在需要两个发动机来做曾经做的函数。
消防服务历史不仅仅是了解为什么我们使用马耳他十字架或为什么我们有红色的消防车。是关于全部其中包括工具,技术和创新。能够适应,克服,即兴创作并不容易。询问khe sanh或pusan周边战斗的任何幸存者。

所以聚集在厨房桌子周围,并听比你洗手间的更多。详细信息完全希望引擎公司做些什么,并且特定于他们将要做的谁,以及他们将如何做到这一点。什么都没有。Go by each seat; the seats don’t change, but the butt in the seat will. Volunteer or paid, all of us have rigs, and those rigs have seats. Assign the job to the seat, notto an individual. That way, volunteer fire companies can be included.

当你认为你有下来时,用一些旧的火灾作为例子,walkthrough each scenario with each player doing the assigned tasks. If it doesn’t work, fix it until it does. When it does work, write it down and. practice it untilevery公司的成员可以完美无瑕。然后继续到下一组任务。

为everyseat和每个位置做这一点。您为PINES的职位提供了详细/任务导向,由我们的前辈设计。如果你有它们,你会对他们做什么?没有详细的任务列表,他们只是另一个绊倒的人。

发动机公司(以及卡车和救援公司)需要覆盖每个位置以及骑马位置可能会遇到的位置。

  1. 官员
  2. 司机
  3. The nozzleman
  4. The backup man
  5. 门卫
  6. 控制人

(1) How are you going to get water?

(2) How is the hose to be loaded?

(3) How are attack lines loaded and selected?

这匹马已经死了,所以我会停止跳动它让它安息吧。但至于你,停止抱怨并开始工作!设计任务列表是耗时的。当我们有五个或六个人的发动机时,你可能不记得了新的procedures for the staffing you do have. Don’t throw away those old drill manuals or those old standard operating guidelines; use them as a reference/starting point. Use the models and information left to us by our predecessors. You might be surprised at how efficient you can become.
