Welcome Firefighter Survival Open the class by using your preferred method of student introductions.

Unit II – Hands-on Skills Firefighter Survival This course is presented in two parts designed to help the fire service re-think its approach on lost or trapped firefighters. Unit I – Classroom Unit II – Hands-on Skills Lets Save Our Own! Explain the purpose of this course and why it is necessary at this point in time. We regularly lose firefighters because of some very simple problems. Ask the group if they might be able to think of some reasons. List those on a flip chart for recap later in the presentation. At no time during this presentation will the instructor discuss any injuries or fatalities unless the factual information is listed in the student workbook.

Firefighter Survival Course Requirements This course requires students to perform a number of practical evolutions with Self Contained Breathing Apparatus. It is highly recommended to the “Authority Having Jurisdiction” that all participants in this class have a baseline physicals before committing to participate. (Explain) This program is very physical in nature. It will demand high out-put energy. Prior to taking this class it is strongly recommended to the department head of the agency that all participants be in good physical condition. Therefore, we recommend that all participants have a baseline medical surveillance to insure that they are in condition to do the required evaluations while wearing Self Contained Breathing Apparatus.

Firefighter Survival Unit I Course Objectives: The firefighter will be able to describe common factors that may require self-survival actions. The firefighter will be able to describe what actions he/she should take in the event of initiating a “MAYDAY” The firefighter will be able to describe the basic rules for survival. 1. A. Lack of/or improperly worn or poorly maintained PPE. B. Lack of communication - working alone. C. Collapse of the structure or a portion thereof. 2. A. Establish a protective hoseline B. Personal Protective Equipment C. Lighting D. Communication E. Proper Ventilation F. Establish an Incident Command system from the beginning G. Use a firefighter accountability system

Firefighter Survival Unit II Course Objectives: The firefighter will be able to describe and/or demonstrate techniques commonly used for self-survival on the fireground. This will be accomplished by Job Sheets #1 - 10 in Appendix A of the student workbook

Firefighter Survival Summary of Incident On March 1, 2002, a 21-year-old male volunteer fire fighter (the victim) died after becoming separated, disoriented, and lost as he, the Chief, and other firefighters were trying to escape from the interior of a fully involved house fire. Two fire fighters eventually pulled the victim out of the house into the front yard, but he was unresponsive and not breathing. The victim received cardiopulmonary resuscitation and was transported to the local hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival.

Firefighter Survival Summary of Key Issues Ensure that Incident Command (IC) conducts a complete size-up of the incident before initiating fire fighting efforts, and continually evaluates the risk versus gain during operations at an incident. Departments should also ensure that the first officer or firefighter inside evaluates interior conditions and reports them immediately to Incident Command. Ensure that adequate numbers of staff are available to operate safely and effectively. Ensure that a Rapid Intervention Team is established and in position immediately upon arrival.

Firefighter Survival Summary of Key Issues Use evacuation signals when command personnel decide that all firefighters should be evacuated from a burning building or other hazardous area. Ensure that a separate Incident Safety Officer, independent from the Incident Commander, is appointed. Ensure that team continuity is maintained. Ensure that ventilation is closely coordinated with the fire attack.

Firefighter Survival Summary of Key Issues Instruct and train firefighters on initiating emergency traffic (Mayday-Mayday) when they become lost, disoriented, or trapped. Ensure that backup lines are equal to or larger than the initial attack lines. Ensure that firefighters are equipped with a radio that does not bleed over, cause interference, or lose communication under field conditions.

“8361 Bricelyn Street … The Last Alarm” Firefighter Survival Three Pittsburgh Firefighters died on February 14, 1995, when they ran out of air and were unable to escape from the interior of a burning dwelling “8361 Bricelyn Street … The Last Alarm”

Firefighter Survival

Firefighter Survival Incident Command Summary of Key Issues Incident Command The first arriving company did not establish command. The Acting Battalion Chief was coming from another call and had a delayed arrival. All first alarm companies had self-committed before the Acting Battalion Chief assumed command of the incident.

Firefighter Survival Accountability Summary of Key Issues Accountability procedures were not implemented. The Incident Commander did not know the locations and functions of companies operating inside the house. It was not realized that members were missing.

Firefighter Survival Crew Integrity Summary of Key Issues All crews did not function as single tactical units. Some of the individual members from these companies performed unrelated tasks and were not under the supervision of their company officers. Most of the personnel were working in temporary assignments for that shift.

Firefighter Survival Emergency Survival Actions Summary of Key Issues Emergency Survival Actions The actions of the three victims when they realized they were in trouble are not known; however, they do not appear to have initiated emergency procedures that could have improved their chances of survival or made other firefighters aware of their need to be rescued.

Firefighter Survival Rapid Intervention Teams Summary of Key Issues Rapid Intervention Teams Some fire departments have adopted procedures to assign a rapid intervention team at working fires. The objective of this team is to be ready to provide immediate assistance to Firefighters in trouble.

Firefighter Survival Communications Summary of Key Issues Communications There was a lack of effective fireground communications at this incident. There was no exchange of information with the interior crews after they entered the dwelling. All of the first alarm companies were operating before the Acting Battalion Chief arrived and assumed command. The Incident Commander did not receive any progress reports from these companies.

Firefighter Survival Portable Radios Summary of Key Issues Portable Radios Although two of the three firefighters who died had portable radios, they do not appear to have attempted to use them to summon assistance. (One of the radios was found to be inoperative after the incident.)

Firefighter Survival Interagency Coordination Summary of Key Issues Interagency Coordination The communications problems were complicated by the fact that EMS units on the scene of a fire report to their own supervisors and communicate on their own radio channels. The interaction and communications between fire and EMS units was inadequate.

Firefighter Survival SCBA Maintenance Summary of Key Issues SCBA Maintenance Examination of the SCBA units used by the three victims and one of the injured fire fighters indicate that improvements are needed in maintenance, inspection, and testing programs.

Firefighter Survival PASS Devices Summary of Key Issues PASS Devices All three victims had PASS devices, however they were not turned on. It is likely that a functioning PASS device would have alerted other firefighters in the immediate area to the unconscious victims.

Practical Application of Tactics Firefighter Survival Practical Application of Tactics The tactics and procedures taught in the “Firefighter Survival” program are to be used as a last resort!

Although the tactics seem unorthodox they have been used with success in the past.
