Download or read book Volunteer Fire Chief and Fire Fighter Killed when a Wildland Engine Plummeted from a Fire damaged Wooden Bridge Into a Dry Creek Bed Colorado written by Jay L. Tarley and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On April 15, 2008, at approximately 1535 hours, a 30-year-old volunteer chief and a 38-year-old volunteer fire fighter died while driving their apparatus through thick black smoke onto a bridge that had collapsed from fire damage caused by a wildfire. They were responding as mutual aid to the wildfire in a neighboring community. Key contributing factors identified in this investigation include: excessive speed for reduced visibility/smoke conditions, lack of traffic control, lack of coordination between responding agencies and departments, and inadequate driver and multi-agency response training. NIOSH investigators concluded that, to minimize the risk of similar occurrences, fire departments should: (1) ensure that fire fighters receive essential training on the emergencies that they will respond to and how to respond safely. Additionally, fire departments, municipalities, and authorities having jurisdiction should: (2) establish pre-incident plans regarding traffic control for emergency service incidents and pre-incident agreements with public safety agencies, traffic management organizations, and private sector responders; (3) train on utilizing the national incident management system to effectively respond to and manage multi-agency incidents; and (4) be aware of programs that provide assistance in obtaining alternative funding, such as grant funding, to replace or purchase fire fighting equipment.
