Fire hose

Birmingham 1963 Protest photo employs different photography elements such as focus, contrasts and shutter speed to capture a very pathetic moment and send a clear message to people around the world about events in a certain environment. As we progress in this analysis, I would refer to the image as “The Water Hose”. Philip White, Michael…

Over the many hours we spent writing this paper together, we faced times of tension between each other, as well as our regards to the fire department. The differences between our first and last drafts of this paper are astounding, as we entirely changed our thesis half-way through the process in order to be more empathetic. Our original thesis read as “Encouraged by the department’s occupational hierarchy, the Apple Valley firefighters have come to use toxic masculinity as an outlet to mask…

"Have patience",exclaims dad every day we work on the farm. Some days on the farm are easy like just feeding cows. Other days are long and hard like pulling a calf at midnight or having to fix something when you need it the most. But every day on the farm is fun and relaxing. I don't like fixing something in the middle of summer on the one hundred and ten degree days. We got a call from the fence builder and the red angus and gelbvieh cross cows at the Frazer Farm did not have any water. So dad…

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…

A little after one in the morning, Miss Maudie Atkinson’s house caught on fire. The fire spewed from the dining-room windows and it slowly devoured the house.

When the men attached the hose to a hydrant, the hose burst and water shot up, falling to the pavement. Then the men took the furniture from Miss Maudie’s house to the yard across the street. Faces appeared in the windows upstairs…

Here are four common back yard hazards to look for and fix: Propane Grilling Dangers A propane grill has a tank containing a compressed flammable gas used to fuel a burner.

My name is Merceda Armstrong and I’m interested in becoming a forest firefighter. Many people assume that a forest firefighter's job is to stop forest fires but they do a lot more. Forest firefighters looks like an interesting career. My purpose of writing this research paper is to inform people about forest firefighters. I think Forest firefighter’s job is to put an end to forest fires/wildfires or use tools to avoid forest fires; or reduce the harm the fire did. When forest firefighter’s gets…

from further damage is the main priority for fire fighters. They may have to damage parts of the scene to save or protect lives. The majority of the evidence get destroyed or lost from the activities done by fire service. That result in the spoliation, contamination, removal, loss, unnecessary movement of physical evidence, complication of the scene and detraction of the evidence validity. Therefor it becomes harder for fire investigators to figure and conduct testing on what was responsible for…

Thermal Imaging Cameras (TIC) in the Fire Service The fire service, as we know it today, has come a long way since its beginning. It began in 24 BC in Rome. 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 tremendously.…
