Worth Knowing While You’re Going…is a series of monthly training tips designed to provide quick operational tips and safety information.  What made this series unique is that it is posted in the firehouse bathrooms…above the urinals and on the inside of the stall doors.  Instead of staring at the wall or at the back of the stall door, the member couldn’t help but to read what was in front of him/her.  Although it met with some skepticism and criticism at first, this series became something that the members looked forward to each month.  It was short, simple, to-the-point, and pertinent to their jobs.  Please feel free to download and print the items within this series, or to post your own on STBTraining.com for others to use.

Firefighter Safety – Save Your Skin

Picture
The FOUR – S’ (SWEEP, SWITCH, SQUAT,SHIFT) are time-tested safety methods used by interior firefighters.  These simple steps reduce contact time with super-heated surfaces and water during firefighting operations.  The SWEEP with the hose stream can move broken glass and hypodermic needles out of the path of the advancing crew.  Also, experienced firefighters will listen for changes in the hose stream as it hits the floor, walls, ceiling and objects within its path.  This technique can help the firefighter keep oriented and give advanced warning of a hole in the floor ahead.  Use this method as a tool – Remember to apply water effectively and wisely.  The “Spray and Pray” approach wastes valuable time and water and adds weight to an already compromised structure.  B - SMART &  B - SAFE!
