Download or read book Fire Under Control written by Steve Bernocco and published by Fire Engineering Books. This book was released on 2020-12-02 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The core principles of structural firefighting are fire behavior, building construction, strategy, tactics, safety and training. Each core principle is examined with relevant on-the-job stories to bring lessons home. Fire departments must constantly train their firefighters and officers in these core principles if they want them to be safe and effective at structure fires. Training is the foundation of all the other core principles, and must be realistic, scenario-based, and hands-on. Never stop learning during your time as a structural firefighter. If you come to a point where you mistakenly believe that you know everything there is to know about fires in and around buildings–watch out–because you have just fallen into the complacency trap. FEATURES --Gain a deeper understanding of how firefighters should approach fires in buildings, with an emphasis on safety and effectiveness --See the latest research from UL and NIST on fire behavior and flow paths, with a discussion of best-practices and up-to-date tactical advice. --An essential, easy-to-read fundamental resource on how to safely and effectively fight fires in buildings of any size or type. “Fire Under Control is a riveting new book that allows you to learn while also seeing how street experiences coincide with printed tactical and scientific fire service information. I always have said that eyes, ears, and experience will equal your education in the fire service and Capt. Steve Bernocco has managed to bring it to light.” -- Lt. Mike Ciampo, Fire Department of New York

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over vast expanses of time, fire and humanity have interacted to expand the domain of each, transforming the earth and what it means to be human. In this concise yet wide-ranging book, Stephen J. Pyne—named by Science magazine as “the world’s leading authority on the history of fire”—explores the surprising dynamics of fire before humans, fire and human origins, aboriginal economies of hunting and foraging, agricultural and pastoral uses of fire, fire ceremonies, fire as an idea and a technology, and industrial fire. In this revised and expanded edition, Pyne looks to the future of fire as a constant, defining presence on Earth. A new chapter explores the importance of fire in the twenty-first century, with special attention to its role in the Anthropocene, or what he posits might equally be called the Pyrocene.

Download or read book Infection Control Policies for Community Paramedicine MIH written by Katherine West and published by Fire Engineering Books. This book was released on 2019-08-08 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In her new book, Infection Control Policies for Community Paramedicine & MIH, Katherine West explains how good infection control practices, vaccines and immunizations, cleaning and disinfection of equipment and work restriction guidelines can assist EMS providers and improve patient care. WHAT ARE THE ISSUES? --Hospital patients are being discharged without receiving or fully understanding discharge instructions. This omission can lead to readmission of the patient. With the basics in place, departments can move on to expanding services to the community. --Departments that are looking to expand services to meet the needs of the elderly, disabled and those living in rural areas where access to healthcare is not easily accessible, will need to refocus and expand infection control practices for the home care environment. --Medical facilities are looking to EMS as the possible source for patient infections. Documentation and compliance monitoring will serve as liability reduction and risk management tools. --EMS is now under the scope of healthcare associated infections (HAIs). The new term HAI is much broader and applies to more healthcare care delivery services.
