National Fire Fighter Near-Miss Reporting System: Controlling Utilities

By

Controlling utilities is a basicfirefighter safetyaction and critical incident control function. Shutting off electric and gas should not be taken lightly or left to chance. For example, this week’s experience shows that the unexpected happens when you least expect it.

“We were responding to a trailer fire in a rural part of the county…Upon arrival on the scene, we had a fully involved trailer fire. Two other stations were toned for water and manpower. The power and gas were still on to the structure. The ETA for the Electric Company was over an hour. Because of the ETA, I went to the meter box and opened it to pull the meter. I have seen meters pulled numerous times. When I reached to grab the meter to pull it out, my fire gloves were wet and they made a connection with the prongs on back of meter. All I saw was a big spark of blue…”

需要经常访问“拉动仪表”的政策，并与当地公用事业公司进行审查。一代人的消防部门通常会携带Linesman的手套，并以常规的方式拉电仪。最近对全国政策的审查发现，许多消防部门将“将仪表拉动”留给当地公用事业公司。此外，由于仪表配置和功能的变化，许多公用事业公司建议将仪表留给公用事业公司。一旦有了read the entire report， 考虑以下：

1. Survey your first due area. How many different meter configurations are out there?
2.如果您的部门允许将电表拔出，书面政策的年龄是多大，则何时审查它？
3.您当地的公用事业公司是否意识到您部门的电表的政策？
4. If you run mutual aid, does your practice of controlling utilities match the practices of your surrounding departments?
5. What other options are available for controlling power at a structure fire?

Has a near- miss occurred while you were controlling utilities? Increase the knowledge base of the fire and emergency service by submitting your report towww.firefighternearmiss.comtoday.

The National Fire Fighter Near-Miss Reporting System achieved another milestone in 2009. One thousan reports were submitted and posted in 2009. This would not have happened without all of your support and use of the system.

Emphasis on rapidly changing fire conditions and the science behind why conditions change in an instant are gaining more prominence. A portion of the event narrative reads:

“我们的部门被派往警察报告的结构大火，最初被派往窃贼警报。第一家公司到达，找到了两个故事，木框多用途结构，并从结构中发出了适度的烟雾。强迫进入后，发动机公司（三人软管团队）进入了一英寸和四分之三的攻击线和一条抽动。机组人员报告了高温条件，并指出抽动屏幕是红色的……”

“在外面，IC和梯子公司的工作人员观察到烟雾条件从层状浅棕色烟雾变成了从入口门口推动的湍流的黑色烟雾。目前，IC试图在没有成功的情况下与初始发动机公司联系……”

“回到里面，救援人员在后壁到达了发动机公司……当人员混合在一起时，救援人员彼此失去了联系时，发生了一些混乱。发动机队长还失去了两名新秀消防员之一的踪迹。一名救援人员撤退了外面，报告说他失去了伴侣。同时，发动机队长试图射出他也失去了船员的成员，并报告内部遇到的状况……”

Watching for changing conditions and remaining alert for the signs while reacting in sufficient time to prevent injury or death are critical functions for today’s fire officer. Once you have readthe entire report, answer the following:

1.您认为“快速变化的火灾状况”值得受到关注？
2. Who serves as the “lookout” to monitor fire conditions on your fireground?
3. Can one person be expected to manage all aspects of fire command and control?
4. What actions can you take in low to zero visibility atmosphere to get a look at smoke conditions? (Hint: involves a handlight held close to your facepiece).
5. How easy can you operate your radio in low visibility, high heat atmospheres?

由于迅速变化的火灾状况，您是否经历了几乎失踪？通过将报告提交给您的假期给您的假期捐赠www.firefighternearmiss.comtoday.
