Fire protection

the first Fire brigade was established as a form of income. Fire brigades would respond to alarms but would not do anything about the situation until a deal was made with the owner of the residence. If a deal was not made the structure would burn to the ground. Over time firefighting has gone from a selfishly profitable scheme, to an organization filled with people who want to help the people of their community any way they can. The very first firefighters…

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

forest fires that have been documented all the way back to the late 1800s. The most notable fire in that century was the Peshtigo Fire of 1871. After these fires, there were two main conservationists, Franklin Hough and Bernard Fernow, which pushed for protecting timber supplies and watersheds. The federal government then established the US Forest Service in 1905. The Forest Service was given control over the national forests. The current management at the time focused on fire protection. Five…

have extremely dangerous jobs. They get called to put out a fire, sometimes they even have to go in the burning building and save a person’s life. However sadly sometimes they lose their life while trying to save someone. I feel as if there “suits” are too heavy for them when they go into the fire, this slows them down a lot more and this can cause death. What they need are lighter suits, these suits would have the same amount of protection in them but they will just be lighter so that it can…

Throughout history fire was frequently used for cooking, light, heat, and weapon making. From 8000 BCE to 1900 CE, the use of fire was also changing rapidly. The invention of fire, firefighting, forging, greek fire thrown by the Trebuchet, and steam engines were major impacts on global political and social interactions. The invention of fire greatly affected and changed social interactions by changing the way humans interacted with their environment. From the first humans to 600 BCE, fire gave…

tragic fire broke out in the restaurant known as “The Deli” as a result of a ground fault in the wall killing 85 people. A major contributor to the deaths was combustible furnishings, interior finishes, foam padding and moldings, air supply, and a very large undivided area that allowed for rapid fire spread and heavy smoke. Construction of the hotel and casino began in 1972 and was opened in December 1973. With approximately two million square feet of area only partial fire sprinkler protection…

was handled by the Chicago Fire Department. The incident involved a gasoline tanker that struck a dumpster and started to lose product, which then ignited. This paper will also discuss gasoline, as it was the primary fuel involved with this scene. Time will be spent looking at gasoline to understand its characteristics and determine if the fire department used the correct suppressant and tactics for this call. The Chicago Fire Department used water and foam on this fire, so this paper will…

Life safety and property protection 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…
