We practiced in a dark room with our gloves on and a black mask over eyes, the best help i found though is talking to someone on your department, the guy that had helped me out showed me a different way to do it but it still passes the class!!
2nd alarm or greater here as well. But if not warranted it is not put into play either.
Well hey, it works for you guys and that is what matters. I do see your point, but for the most part, generally speaking, most depts don't have the resources for two SO's on a scene, at least a first alarm fire. I honestly can't say I know of a de...
John,
like I said we use it alot, the interior SO is responsible to contact command and report his status and movements. Meaning even at a two story house, he would report, "SO-1 making entry, will be operating on floor 1. He is not just saying I...
When an exterior SO operates on the fireground her or she is responsible for the entire fireground. Are they freelancing? No because they are a single resource? They are required to report their status and position on the fireground and accountabi...
I foresee the SO as a vitally important role in the command structure, we operate with (2) at every fire.
In reality to the OP question, why would you place restrictions on the safety officer to keep him or her outside and therefore restrict thei...
Our safety officer is a huge pain in the A--!!! Wouldn't have it any other way.
Read the NFPA 1521 Standard.

My experience in the past has seen that many many times with our group. Our service is much like a family, we hurt, bleed and cry with one another. God be with you in this time of pain and loss. Keep your chin up as each new day brings new challenges and more opportunity to grow. You should never feel bad about expressing your heart. Its ok with me.
