its always going to be there like every other memory of your life...just depends on how you use it.
Review the call and make improvments to your overall game plan for the next extrication. Always remember you didn't put them in that situation but ...
personally ive been responding to MVA with DOA since i was 16, my first car MVA was a DOA and my first motorcycle MVA was a DOA both was while i was a JR Fire Fighter it depends on the person and the situation that surounds it
an incredible, very well written post.
thank you.
Brandon, it all depends on if you know the person or not. Where i live everyone knows everyone so it is really hard sometimes. I just think of it as i just learned not to do something so that someday i dont make the same mistake as those people do...
i disagree with this. I think we should respond as much as possible. I feel it prepares us for what we may come across in the future. We're allowed to respond to everything but haz-mat, and we can do everything a FF1 can do except enter or vent a ...
just find a way to laugh about something, or get it off your shoulders, and worry about the next one. My most recent full code, we pronounced a early 30's year old lady dead at the scene, and we had to notify the family. Well, one of the family me...
i grew up around all that stuff, i think it has just kinda made me adapt and almost in a way know what i should expect when we get that type of call. the thing is you just can't let it get to you expecially thinking things like it coulda been me o...
iv got an 880 and it started out orange at my first explorer post but now is black and bourks insted of the face sheild
Okay, so when his time comes to be a real FF and he gets a bad call, gets on scene and totally chokes, killing someones life...that's okay? I think not.
Let them be exposed now. That way he can decide whether or not he wants to do this. And if he...
well buddy if u have 3 people show up for a gas leak in a parking lot i would prolly take the little explorers as additional manpower just as long as they stay near trained personal. not to mention i was the firehouse suckass and a firehouse brat ...
well we have had bad calls when i was awas a junior firefighter in my department juniors ages are 14 and 15 and full member status is at 16 but to be a full member u need to apply for it. i remember was had this bad mva on the bottom of a steep hi...
I don't believe you'll ever learn to DEAL with it. But you'll be able to handle what you see better. At my home station, Explorers aren't allowed to go on MANY MANY MANY calls because it's "too dangerous" or we "shouldn't be exposed to that kind o...
I am not a junior member but i can tell you ive been there, everyone has. My first bad call is still in my head. And it will probably be there the rest of my life. Talking about it is a good way to get it out. But Everyone has different ways to de...
He is only 15 years old Anne, he shouldn't be doing anything other then
helping out around the fire house, learning the different types of tools, and
what they are used for. He shouldn't be going on calls at that age.
Brandon
how old r u...
Sometimes there are things that no one should see,inculding adults..When we decide we are going to get into this business what alot of people forget is that we are still human,and well things are tough out there... So talk ...

Junior firefighter--training(Hose evolution)
I think I'm going to start blog posts, on mentionable trainings, mainly the ones I enjoy. Which I seem to enjoy everything, whether it be the mazes, or just sitting in the meeting room going over basics.
I did some vehicle rescue training, and some others, but I cant recall them good enough to go over them fully.
So I'll start with my most recent.--

- Dude I for real agreee with you, I was a junior at one time, Everybody was. And my Chief will tell you the same thing i am about to tell everybody on FFN. The best way for a Junior to learn is to actually do it hands on. If you just sit there at the station and dont go, your not learning a damn thing, RIGHT!!! Now of course all juniors should have someone there with them telling them and showing them what things are and how things work. And just to settle it yes juniors should all have pagers, FINAL. Theres one thing about it, the younger generation is going to have to pick up the aging fire service members slack, they arnt going to be around forever, and so this type of hands on expierince is needed. I know when i was 16 and 17, i was going out on calls, and wreck, traffic control, just simple things, but in doing so, i learned way more, than sittin there listen to somebody read a bunch of shit to me. So people need to back off the juniors, because they are the ones who will be the next generation firefighters.

Agreed - working in an area with many teaching hospitals we often get well meaning medical folks eager to help or to try their new skills on the street. We inform them if they want to take charge of the scene they must accompany the patient...

Andrew, Where I am we can drive either POV or ride apparatus to the scene. We are in a very rural community. The biggest problem we run into is people stopping in the middle of the road as if they are so dumbfounded they lost all sense of how to d...
