Book Synopsis Developing Firefighter Resiliency by : Bob Carpenter
Download or read book Developing Firefighter Resiliency written by Bob Carpenter and published by Fire Engineering Books. This book was released on 2019-01-02 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three Key Messages: -- This is important. -- You can do it. -- I won't give up on you. Training ordinary people to do extraordinary things requires an understanding of how we learn. Developing Firefighter Resiliency starts with the basic psychophysical aspects of learning. The fire service has unwittingly used a failure-based training model for many years. Hands-on training exercises are often based on unachievable objectives. Trainers are often not educated about the psychology of adult learning or the effect of stress during learning. Consequently, participants face learning activities with mastery-level skill requirement to succeed when competency has yet to be established. This amounts to a never-ending diet of tests without actual skill development. Accessing knowledge under extreme circumstances cannot be left to chance, because the penalty for failure is severe. This book provides the roadmap for a journey to train, establish relevancy for the lessons, develop competency in the skills, and capitalize on confidence to achieve mastery. We study the impact of a stressful environment on the ability to learn and function.

Book Synopsis The Combat Position by : Christopher Brennan
Download or read book The Combat Position written by Christopher Brennan and published by Fire Engineering Books. This book was released on 2011 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Firefighting is combat and should be viewed as a warrior's calling. Firefighters put themselves in harm's way to protect others, a selflessness rooted in the same noble drive as the military warriors who defend our nation. This book about combat is meant to be a guide for those who seek to follow a warrior's path, the path of the fire service warrior. Today's firefighter must be a warrior who will unflinchingly put his very life in harm's way to accomplish a mission, but who is also fully informed about the path being chosen. Embracing the philosophy of the fire service warrior, and striving for the ready position--the synthesis of physical and mental readiness that allows for optimum fireground performance--can reduce firefighter injuries and fatalities. The Combat Position: Achieving Firefighter Readiness will be an invaluable tool for firefighters, company officers, chief officers, and instructors.
Book Synopsis Industrial Fire Control Concepts by : Jeffrey Moore
Download or read book Industrial Fire Control Concepts written by Jeffrey Moore and published by . This book was released on 2022-04-15 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Industrial Fire Control Concepts is a facility fire protection course in book format. For more than sixty years, between 1946 and 2007, Industrial Risk Insurers offered an intensive week-long industrial fire protection course in their Hartford (CT) Loss Prevention Training Center and at other facilities worldwide. Thousands of facility managers, plant engineers, safety supervisors, insurance loss control engineers, government officials, and many others benefitted from the course. Although this course concentrated on fundamental fire control concepts, participants often felt like they were drinking from a fire hose. They left the course with a thick binder full of handouts, articles, notes, references, and other information they could put to immediate use at their facilities. A common refrain from participants was, "Why isn't all this information available in a book someplace?" In 1988 the first edition of Industrial Fire Control Concepts attempted to fill this need. Recognizing that many individuals responsible for facility fire protection decisions have no formal fire protection training, this third edition continues the mission of providing a foundation in fire safety concepts allowing the development and implementation of effective site-specific fire protection and fire control strategies. In this content-rich, heavily illustrated book, you will learn the: ? scope of the fire problem and the often-ignored lessons of past industrial fire disasters? basic concepts behind the development and spread of a fire? holistic systems approach to facility fire safety and fire control? operation, application, and limitations of various fire protection systems and features? necessity of a properly arranged fire protection water supply system? management programs necessary for an effective facility fire control program? special fire control concerns of information technology (IT) operations, warehousing and storage, flammable and combustible liquids, and combustible dust The text contains many practical fire safety concepts that you can use immediately. Throughout the text, conversations with the "Wise Old Fire Protection Engineer" provide valuable information addressing a myriad of common fire protection and fire risk management questions and concerns.

Download or read book Firefight written by Ginger Adams Otis and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2015-05-26 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1919, when Wesley Williams became a New York City firefighter, he stepped into a world that was 100% white and predominantly Irish. As far as this city knew, black men in the Fire Department of New York (FDNY) tended horses. Nearly a century later, many things in the FDNY had changed—but not the scarcity of blacks. New York had about 300 black firefighters—roughly 3 percent of the 11,000 New York firefighters in a city of two million African Americans. That made the FDNY a true aberration compared to all the other uniformed departments, like the NYPD. Decades earlier, women and blacks had sued over its hiring practices and won. But the FDNY never took permanent steps to eradicate the inequities, which led to a courtroom show-down between New York City's billionaire Mayor, Mike Bloomberg, and a determined group of black activist firefighters. It was not until 2014 that the city settled the $98 million lawsuit. At the center of this book are stories of courage—about firefighters risking their lives in the line of duty but also risking their livelihood by battling an unjust system. Among them: FDNY Captain Paul Washington, a second generation black firefighter, who spent his multi-decade career fighting to get minorities on the job. He faced an insular culture made up of relatives who never saw their own inclusion as favoritism. Based on author Ginger Adams Otis' years of on the ground reporting, Firefight is an exciting blend of the high-octane energy of firefighting and critical Civil Rights history.
Book Synopsis Trenton Firefighting by : Michael Ratcliffe
Download or read book Trenton Firefighting written by Michael Ratcliffe and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2021 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few American cities can claim a firefighting history as rich as that of New Jersey's capital. Trenton's first volunteer fire company was organized in 1747 and was followed by more than a dozen other volunteer engine, hose, and hook and ladder companies that protected Trenton until 1892. They were replaced by paid firefighters staffing six engines and two ladders. As the city grew into a major industrial center, the fire department grew with it. Trenton Firefighting tells and honors the story of Trenton's firefighters--both volunteer and paid--and the blazes they have battled, including the 1885 fire that gutted the New Jersey State House, the 1915 conflagration that destroyed the insulated wire mill of John A. Roebling's Sons Company (builder of the Brooklyn Bridge), and the 1975 inferno that razed the historic Trenton Civic Center.
