Fire Fighter Safety Blog: Improving Protective Equipment
Feb 23, 2010 at 11:34 AM 20 Comments
As the Chief Safety Officer for Portland Fire & Rescue (PF&R), my main area of concern is fire fighter safety. One way we can enhance the safety of our firefighters is by improving protective equipment. Maybe the most important part of our protective equipment is the compressed air tank breathing system we wear on our backs. PF&R is currently in the process of training all of our fire fighters to wear the newest version of our Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA). The latest version has state of the art features such as a ‘heads up display’ allowing the fire fighter to visualize the amount of air left in the SCBA cylinder. The new safety and comfort features should greatly enhance fire fighter safety and keep us in compliance with national standards for fire fighting and terrorism response. These components were purchased with funds awarded to PF&R by the Assistance to Firefighters Grant program.
Simply purchasing the new SCBAs isn’t enough – all members must be trained to be proficient in the use of the new system and demonstrate that proficiency before the new SCBAs can be used. This training takes place in two parts; first off - a video program that introduces the new features and outlines the differences between the old and new SCBAs, and second of all - a ‘hands on’ training session with each member of every crew in Portland to thoroughly familiarize them with their new ‘lifeline’. This training takes many hours to accomplish and in fact eight weeks have been dedicated to the switch over.
Like I said earlier, protective equipment is only one part of the safety equation. Next time I will discuss the importance of the company officer using risk/benefit analysis in making fire ground decisions.

URGENT EFFECTIVE LOVE SPELL TO GET YOUR EX BACK FAST AND TO SAVE YOUR MARRIAGE!
My name is Violet Barnes. I promise to share my testimony to the world once my husband returns back to me, and today with all due respect I want to say a very big thanks to DR PETER for the wonderful work he did for me in helping me to save my marriage, my husband ask for a divorce letter because of the little misunderstanding we had in the past few month, And i never wanted this because I love my husband so much and all our investment was a joint business and I don't want to be far away from my family and my two lovely kids. My friend told me about DR PETER and how he also helped her with her marital issues, so I had to contact him because I want to stop my husband from completing the divorce letter and I want to keep my family together and after contacting him, I was told what I needed to do and when I was going to start seeing the result, I did as DR PETER has instructed and after 2 days my Husband call me and start asking for my forgiveness and it was all like a dream to me and we are all living happily together again all thanks to DR PETER .

My husband changed dramatically towards me, doesn’t communicate anymore. He disrespects me and accuses me falsely of infidelity because of wicked gossip …but I’m simply AMAZED at the results of Dr. Todd who did reunion love spell for me. Everything is going so well and EXACTLY how he said it would be. Even though it took 72hours to fully progress, it was so worth it because things are just about at perfection! How he took my situation and completely turned it around to give me exactly what I wanted is beyond me, but something I will never question and just be completely grateful, God Bless Dr. Todd for turning sorrow happiness.
