Tucs, a novice member of Carson, New Mexico’s volunteer fire department, was working in the yard of his off-grid home when he saw the blaze. He threw a few shovels into the back of his truck, hitched up a trailer loaded with 300 gallons of water, and sped to the scene, looking up from navigating the ruts in the road to see flames shooting through the billowing smoke, which already obscured the view of Tres Orejas Mountain off in the distance. The fire was on the property of Tucs’ neighbor who…

people all over the world. Best known for putting out fires, running into a burning buildings and saving lives in various forms of distress. Heroes of life safety and property conservation, firefighters are global icons, and uphold a community image being good and trustworthy. One unfortunate aspect of the fire service generally unheard in the public eye is that of a firefighter arsonist. This long-standing problem that impacts fire departments and communities across the…

If a deal was not made the structure would burn to the ground.

When forest firefighter’s gets a message that there has been a fire they go to the scene. Forest firefighter’s creates a…

One of the first technologies used were a line of men and a few buckets of water, which were used to extinguish the fire. Another of the first technologies was an axe that was used to create holes that would allow heat and smoke to escape from the structure. Compared to the ancient times, today’s technologies have improved…

Next, it is a great way for people to grow personally. It allows you to experience new experiences that help with a person’s advanced learning. It can also have a direct effect on a volunteer’s health. “Older adults who volunteer and who engage in more hours of volunteering report higher levels of well-being. This positive effect was not moderated by social integration, race, or gender. There was no effect of the number of organizations for which the older adult volunteered…

If there were one thing that you could change about the fire service, what would it be? Why is that important? (This could be something philosophical, structural, technical, or futuristic.) Preserving the history of the fire service would be the one thing I would like to see better remembered by firefighters in the fire service. Many of our personnel come to the fire service looking for employment and nothing more. The fire service is considerable more than a nine to five, five days a week…

It is well known that fire fighters expose themselves to many hazards, from toxic gases, structural collapse, to fire and extreme heat. They don’t do it for glory but for the desire to help protect property and the people in their community. To help minimize risk to their health and safety, fire fighters use and carry protective equipment and wear specialized protective clothing, known as PPE. The Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and the fire truck and equipment it carries has evolved…

I am writing this proposal to help solve the issue of funding Bartow Fire Protection District. This facility has been suffering from the low revenue and has been put into a debt. Now, this facility will be handed over and put under the jurisdiction of San Bernardino County if the citizens of the City of Barstow do not help with funding the facility’s needs. Barstow Fire Protection District needs more money so that they can repay the debt, buy more equipment, and reduce the response time. As a…
