国家消防员近乎缺乏的报告系统:泡沫操作

Anear missis an event that can range from a heart-pounding brush with death to an event where everything was in place and calamity was averted. Within the various levels of recording, reports likethis week’sare submitted. This week’s featured report reminds us that near misses don’t always have to raise the hair on the back of our neck. A near miss is also any event that had the potential to cause injury, death, or damage. In this week’s report, submitter recognized that very fact and submitted an incident that on the surface seems very benign due to a lack of high heat, dense smoke, speeding cars on an interstate, or other imminent hazard. However, there is often a fine line that divides a benign incident from becoming life altering. An excerpt from the event narrative and lessons learned is included below. Note: Brackets denote reviewer de-identification.

“在[时间啊mitted] our department responded to a HAZMAT incident involving ethyl alcohol. Approximately 2000 gallons of product were spilled onto the ground when the tanker truck rolled onto its side, damaging the man-way cover and rupturing the tank.We only had 15 gallons of AR-AFFF foam available, so a call for more foam was placed to other departments in the area.There was a mixture of new, old and several different types and concentrations of AR-AFFF. When switching from an empty bucket to a fresh one, the inductor plugged, causing a loss of foam on the line and interrupting vapor suppression tactics…due to the lack of materials, we continued to use the foam and clear the plugged inductor as was needed for the duration of the call.”

From the Lessons Learned text:

“This had no detrimental effect on the overall outcome of the situation. After the debriefing, we were able to start the process to order and maintain a reserve of AR AFFF and re-educate ourselves on foam compatibility and recognition of possible problems.”

对于此讨论,有两个近乎失踪的事件。首先是缺乏各个援助协议部门使用的兼容泡沫浓缩液。这本身可以被认为是几乎失踪。第二个是在蒸汽抑制应用程序中插入的泡沫线。还有其他吗?在阅读整个帐户时,您是法官(CLICK HERE).
  1. What type(s) of foam concentrate does your department use?
  2. What is the problem with mixing foam concentrates that have different chemical compositions (i.e., synthetic versus protein) and proportioning rates?
  3. When was the last time you actually practiced with the foam producing equipment on your apparatus?
  4. 一旦泡沫线被堵塞,应采取什么路课程进行以下操作:a)解开线路,b)防止蒸气抑制被中断?
  5. 合成泡沫浓缩物的保质期约为20 - 25年,蛋白质泡沫约10年。应满足该保质期的三个条件是什么?
