This officer’s coat shows both dye sublimation (area of the black name patch at the shoulders) and also the color change of undyed fabric (PBI) when the temperature reaches the point to stress the fabric, which occurred when the crew was trapped following a roof collapse while they were checking the second floor for an occupant. You can also see where the fabric was protected by the airpack. Photo Joel Calfee

Some of the most inherently dangerous training that we conduct is live-fire training in acquired structures. However, in my opinion, this type of training is hands-down the most beneficial for firefighters. Here, firefighters participate in the Camp Road burn. Photo Paul Hasenmeier

Live-fire training can be complex and difficult to conduct and, of course, there are inherent risks. But simulators allow crews the opportunity to train inside burning structures—without the risk of injury. Image FLAME-SIM
 Simulation Pays Off
April 27, 2011
Fireground ICs must recognize and appropriately respond to a highly dynamic environment, using their experience to coordinate and assign an array of tasks. It is therefore important to develop experiential learning environments—something simulation programs can do. This type of learning happens during real-life experiences—but also when the team is placed in a simulated environment that’s realistic enough for the brain to temporarily suspend disbelief.

 The Science Behind Simulation

With more and more vehicle technology coming our way, it’s important that first responders stay up to date on relevant new tactics, including those that involve power-sliding rear windows in trucks, and how they can impact responders’ operations at the scene.

The angle from the attachment point to the anchors is 90 degrees with a symmetrical load. The hand is placed with the heel against the knot at the attachment point, and the middle finger is pointed in the direction of the force applied. A penny is placed where the fingertip touches the ground to provide a visual reference point.
