Question 5

The following are the definitions of the Incident Benchmarks:(Read only)

Answer 5

All Clear
Can be used on a fire or medical incident. On fire calls an All Clear indicates the fire building and all exposures have been searched and all civilians evacuated. In the case of a building that is well involved in fire, the All Clear may be delayed and not come until the fire is out. For medical calls, it indicates the patient has been extricated. It is used most commonly when patients have been trapped in a vehicle, or during a water or mountain rescue when the patient has been removed from the endangered area.

Primary All Clear
A primary search has been completed.

Under Control
The fire has been contained, and will not extend. It does not mean the fire is out. It may also be used during HazMat calls, indicating a leak has been secured.

Ventilation Complete
The task of ventilating the occupancy is completed.

Loss Stopped
Salvage has been completed and there should be no more damage to the building involved.

Personnel Accountability Report (PAR)
All personnel assigned to a particular company, work area or sector have been accounted for. It is used to confirm there are no missing fire personnel on the incident site. Alarm will prompt Command at the 25 min. timer if a PAR has not been received.

Secondary All Clear
A more comprehensive search of the building has been completed.

Immediate Transported
All patients triaged as “immediate” have been transported.

Triage Completed
All patients have been triaged.

Utilities Secured
The power, gas/electric, has been shut off to the occupancy.

Command Terminated
There is no longer a single person in charge of the incident. Communications can be held with anyone still on the scene.
205.01

Question 6

What is Condition two?

Answer 6

All non-incident related radio traffic will be restricted and units will transmit only essential communications. MCT’s will be used for status changes. Units are not to switch calls during Condition Two. When returning to normal radio operations, the Dispatcher shall advise all units (without the use of alert tone) that it is off of Condition Two.
205.01
17/19

Question 7

The only remaining radio code used, due to the urgent nature of the response is?

Answer 7

The 906 code. 
“906” means police are needed urgently.

Answer 13

• Member shall deploy first device along shoulder/edge of lane of street, road, or highway while standing in safe area.
*This initial deployment point should be approximately 30 feet upstream of the vehicle for deployment of the first of five (5) devices. This creates a buffer zone between cones and rear edge of vehicle.
*Initial deployment point should take into consideration environmental weather or poor lighting conditions and any visual obstructions for approaching motorists including hills, curves, or other visual obstructions. Furthest traffic control device can be extended further upstream based on these sight-limiting conditions.
• Cones should be placed along the safe pathway area every (10) paces as the member moves upstream away from the safety of the vehicle. When the member has placed all 5 cones they should be at the furthest point away from the vehicle. The last cone will be placed at the edge of the nearest traffic lane approximately (150’) from vehicle – (30’) for buffer zone and (120’) for cone distribution.
• Member shall move ten (10) paces back toward the incident scene along this safe pathway area. When determined safe to do so, member may enter the nearest travel lane one (1) pace or approximately three (3) feet and deploy the second traffic control device.
• Member shall immediately return to the shoulder or median safe area and move an additional ten (10) paces along the safe area back towards the incident scene. This procedure should be followed until all traffic control devices have been placed. The final device shall be approximately 30 feet from the rear of the vehicle that is in the blocking position at the incident scene. (see Fig. 1.1)

Question 29

When the decision to stage is made:(read only)

Answer 29

- Members should consider the hazards at hand. They should stage, level 2 in Quarters if the incident is within two (2) blocks of the station. Otherwise, stage minimum of two (2) blocks from the incident, out of sight of the incident, with at least two means of egress (backing out doesn’t count). Please notify PD, through Fire Dispatch, when you are staging in-quarters. Monitor the radio while in- quarters so you will not need to be re-dispatched. All members need to be in a ready-state and not engaged in any other activities. Do not go available unless confirmed with Fire Dispatch. - Members should remember that the crowd may be a hazard. - Units should turn off warning lights when staged and then turn them back on when completing the response to the scene. Turning off warning lights at the scene may reduce crowd attraction to the incident. If the decision to stage is made, the Company Officer shall notify Alarm that the unit(s) are staged and their location verbally and via CAD.

(If possible, advise Alarm of the location of the threat.) • No other Fire Department companies/units will be sent to the scene. However, based on the information given, other FD companies/units will be dispatched to a safe staging location, and will wait for PD’s code 4. • Should the Emergency button on the MCT be used, Alarm will query the unit verbally for a “code 4 check?”. The Company Officer/member must respond as follows: “Unit designation, is code 4, apparatus vehicle number (25_ _)”. Any other statement, or lack of communication, will cause Alarm to assume the unit/member is in imminent peril, and PD will be sent code 3, to the last reported location. • In situations where the unit/member wants Alarm to monitor their status, (VI, hazardous situations, etc.), the unit/member may request, “code 4 checks” every __ minutes. The member requesting must give their location and his/her city employee ID number to Alarm. Alarm will then start the timer. Alarm will ask verbally for a “code 4 check”, and the member must respond; “unit designation, is code 4, member ID number _ _ _ _ _”). Any other statement, or lack of communication, will cause Alarm to assume the unit/member is in a violent situation, or imminent peril, and PD will be sent code 3, to the last reported location. 205.12 4/4

Question 39

Choosing an appropriate standby position provides the best possible coverage of the potential crash site and improves the response time to the accident scene. The Standby positions shall:(read only)

Answer 39

- Provide for the safety of fire personnel or apparatus. Positions are to be approximately 400 feet from the edge of the runway for large aircraft and approximately 300 feet for smaller aircraft. Some emergencies will dictate a greater separation or relocation of the apparatus to the opposite side of the runway, i.e., control problems, blown tires, landing gear malfunctions, cocked nose wheels, etc. - Provide for normal aircraft and vehicular ground traffic. Do not block taxiway or runway entries or exits. To clear the normal ground traffic area during standby time, the apparatus will stage at least 400 feet away from the runway. If desirable, the apparatus may move closer when the aircraft is on final approach. - Provide for unrestricted visibility of the runway’s approach end. ``` Due to the length of Williams Gateway Airport runways, the normal standby position will be on taxiway Kilo, holding short of the inside runway (RWY 12R/30L). Additional units responding to Williams Gateway Airport will be directed to an appropriate gate standby position. When choosing locations for standby positions, several elements are to be considered. a. Type of aircraft b. Runway and length to be used c. Nature of the Emergency 1) Engine out (fire or mechanical) 2) Fire or fire Warning 3) Landing gear warning* 4) Hydraulic failure 5) Blown tire(s) or cocked nose gear* 6) Bomb or explosive threat d. Civilian or military aircraft * These emergencies may require a position further back from the runway. 205.13 9/14 ```

Question 40

Advantages for fire apparatus standby positions are:

Answer 40

1. Equipment will be at or near the normal turn-off or stopping point for the type of aircraft. Firefighting or any other emergency service can be initiated immediately. 2. In the event the aircraft does crash and slide short of the standby positions, the equipment would have an unobstructed approach to the downed passengers, debris, spilled fuel, and smoke – in the event of fire. The approach would be made from an upwind or crosswind direction, rather than from downwind. F. For the safety of fire apparatus, the aircraft with an emergency, and other landing traffic – apparatus should not enter on the runway, unless the aircraft stops on the runway or becomes disabled on the runway. Runways at Falcon Field have taxiways that run the full length of the runways; they may be used to follow the aircraft. Williams Gateway has a partial parallel taxiway on the southwest side of the 30L/12R runway with interconnecting perpendicular taxiways to the other runways, which can be used for standby positions or to access an incident, as needed. 205.13 10/14

Question 45

Response to Power Lines/Energized Electrical Equipment. | Key points.(Read only)

Answer 45

* Downed lines must always be considered energized with potentially lethal current. * Lines can reset and become “hot” or “energized” again by manual operation of a switch, by automatic re-closing methods (either method from short or long distances away), by induction where a de-energized line can become hot if it’s near an energized line, or through back feed conditions. * Do not use TICs to determine if a downed line has power. * Power line tends to have “Reel Memory” and may curl back or roll on itself when down. * Use caution when spraying water on or around energized electrical equipment. Hose streams conduct current! Never spray directly into the power lines. Use a fog spray at the base of the pole. Your primary responsibility is to protect the surrounding area. Short bursts of water are preferred methods to avoid being grounded. Never spray water onto electrical equipment until a utility rep has confirmed that the equipment is de-energized or “dead.” • Electrical equipment is classified as: • Energized • De-energized (cannot be 100% guaranteed) • Dead (confirmed by utility representatives after grounding the lines(s). • PCB hazards: Smoke potentially fatal; avoid and contain pools of oil around transformers. • Poor soil resistance in the desert southwest may not provide enough of a ground to trip a circuit even when a conductor is laying on it. • You cannot tell the voltage of a power line by the size of the conductor. Most overhead conductors are not insulated. • Voltage can travel through both dry and especially wet ground for considerable distances. • Pad-mounted and overhead transformers can explode. • Until grounded, equipment can contain electric potential, which can cause severe injury or death. • Electricity can flow through the ground or other conductive objects, (fences) to point far from the scene. 205.20 3/4

Question 51

To provide scene security. What are somethings that can be done on scene?

Answer 51

• String fire line tape to provide an established barrier between firefighters and the crowd. Fire line tape is a good divider. It provides a control line for PD to enforce. The tape is generally received well by citizens as needed by emergency personnel to provide control of an incident. Fire line tape should also be considered to divide large crowds and allow police to maintain control. • Call the Police to secure traffic and crowds. This is the primary responsibility of police at the scene of a fire department emergency. When police arrive, a fire department member should establish liaison with the on-scene ranking police officer. Explain to them what is needed to control the scene; more officers should be called if necessary. • Provide for lighting when indicated. All emergency responders will be able to see more of the scene when good lighting is provided. 206.01 2/6

Question 69

``` LIGHT RAIL TERMS LRV= OCS= TPSS= ETS= OCC= Pantograph= ```

Answer 69

``` LRV= light rail vehicle OCS= overhead contact system (overhead light rail electrical wires) TPSS= traction powered substation ETS= emergency trip switch (located at TPSS) OCC= operations control center (nerve center for communications and operations of light rail) Pantograph= big mechanical arm that connects the LRV to the overhead wires. ``` The light rail uses a two track system that typically runs parallel to each other. The Light rail Vehicles (LRVs) operate on DC electric current supplied from the traction powered substations (TPSS) by two overhead wires (OCS). LRV’s connect with the OCS via a pantograph (big arm) that can be raised and lowered. The tracks operate as the negative return (not a significant electrical threat) for the current. The Operations Control Center (OCC) functions as the nerve center for the light rail and is able to communicate, coordinate, and remotely shut off power to the OCS. The estimated train frequency is every 10 minutes during peak operations. The LRV’s have an operator located in the forward cab (each end has a cab) of the LRV. The (conductor/driver) must operate the train by utilizing a throttle equipped with a “dead man” switch. In the event the operator becomes incapacitated, the LRV will come to a stop. The system times traffic lights using predicative GPS technology and changes the signals much like the pedestrian button and car sensors do. The only system that actively takes control of traffic signals is Opticom used by emergency responders. Train operators are required to stop for red lights and hazards. 206.21 3/8

Question 74

Responding to EMS call on the LRV:(read only)

Answer 74

* LVR operator will coordinate next stop location with OCC and alarm room * The alarm room will provide the address and location during dispatch * Have operator show you the key is out. This engages the brake and disables the throttle ensuring the LRV won’t move. This is a LOTO procedure and should be used anytime crews are working in or around LRV’s. * As long as LRV is functioning normally and on the track, there is no need to shut down power. This will allow the AC and light to continue functioning * Traffic safety as always Crews responding C-3 across the tracks shall adhere to our C-3 driving procedures. Additionally, any protrusion (extended utility lights, flags, etc.) must be lowered to avoid contact with OCS. Furthermore, the tracks represent an additional lane of traffic that must be cleared when driving C-3. ``` Left hand turns across the tracks account for the highest incidents of collisions with LRV’s. Crossing the line • Adds additional lane of traffic • Normal height of OCS is 18 feet • Have all lights and/or flags lowered. 206.21 4/8 ```

Question 75

Light Rail Ops. | Responding to LRV vs another vehicle (Read only)

Answer 75

Crews responding to LRV versus another vehicle calls need to be aware of the possibility of electrocution from derailed LRV’s. In most instances when LRV’s collide with other vehicles they do NOT derail. When LRV’s derail, the operator can usually lower the pantograph and therefore eliminate the electrocution risk from the OCS. However, on occasion when LRV’s derail the pantograph becomes entangled in the overhead wires and cannot be lowered. In this scenario, the entire LRV becomes energized and poses a significant electrocution risk to both emergency responders and any passenger who makes ground contact (completes the circuit). Company officers should complete the following size up upon arrival at any LRV derailment or LRV/vehicle accident: Electrical Hazard Size up Questions • Is the Pantograph raised/tangled? • Is the LRV on the tracks? • Is the OCS intact (no poles or wires down) If the LRV is derailed and the pantograph is still in contact with the OCS, or if the OCS has been compromised and is damaged and lines are down then crews should not approach the LRV or track. • The OCS needs to be de-energized and the company officer should assign another company (or do it themselves if in close proximity) to push the emergency trip switch (ETS) at the closet TPSS (requires Knox key). • Pushing the ETS at the TPSS shuts down incoming AC power and outgoing DC power, and also sends a signal to the adjacent substations and shuts down their outgoing DC power, effectively isolating the section of line from power. However, there is no visible confirmation that power has actually been shut down. • Crews should wait to approach the LRV, and also advise passengers to wait inside the LRV, until power has been confirmed to be dead by a Metro supervisor who can show you the racked out breaker from the TPSS. 206.21 5/8

Question 76

Light Rail Ops. | Responding to Fire at LTV and TPSS(Read only)

Answer 76

Responding to LRV Fires LRV’s don’t have any fire protection system (no sprinklers). Most of the working equipment (A/C, power supplies, and batteries) are located on the top of the LRV. Crews must ensure the LRV and OCS are de-energized prior to attempting extinguishing any significant LRV fires. Fires in the bottom undercarriage should only be extinguished after the pantograph has been lowered but does not necessitate shutting down the OCS. • Evacuate LRV (life safety first) to a safe location away from smoke • Shut down power as necessary • Stop other LRV traffic as necessary • Protect the scene from traffic Responding to Fire at TPSS • Treat it like electrical substation/vault. • DO NOT ENTER or put water on it until absolutely confirmed de-energized by APS or SRP. • Beware of OCS. • Consider pushing the ETS if it is safe to do so • Call for hazmat if smoke is coming from within TPSS • Be aware of the risk of hazardous smoke inhalation. 206.21 7/8

The ALS crews will utilize ePCR and the Behavioral Health Patient Management (Adult and Pediatric) protocol to transfer patient care and the CPR Crisis Team will utilize their EMR to document patient care post transfer. The MCT in the CM vehicle will be utilized to track the unit status while in service. The Crisis Team members are employed and supervised by our partner entity Crisis Preparation and Recovery. Should a response or scene safety related issue arise the Crisis Team or ALS company shall notify East Deputy via the alarm room (MRDC) for resolution. East Deputy should also notify the CPR supervisor as soon as possible to facilitate a joint resolution. Any personnel, patient disposition or other non-emergent response issues will require a joint resolution with the CPR supervisor and can be coordinated through the Operations Deputy Chief or the Planning and Research Deputy Chief. 209.01c 5/5

Question 94

During active firefighting operations, Command will provide ______ with regular progress reports or whenever significant tactical plans are changed or unusual situations are encountered.

Answer 94

Alarm. The first progress report should be given after initial action has been implemented and should include the correct address and an improved description of the building and fire conditions if the arrival report was incomplete. The first report should include the declaration of a working fire. This assists Deployment in making move-up decisions. Alarm will repeat the significant facts from all progress reports for the information of monitoring units. 205.01 11/19

Question 95

Staging will be assigned to either C-Deck Channel __ __ __(Mesa Fire) or Phoenix Channel 2 or 3 (Phoenix Fire).

Answer 95

5 or 6. Units arriving at the Level II Staging Area will report in person to the Staging Officer. The Staging Officer will manage all radio communications to and from the Staging Area. 205.01 12/19

Question 96

The term "___________ ________" will be utilized by any unit encountering an immediately perilous situation and will receive the highest communications priority from Dispatch, Command and all operating units.

Answer 96

Emergency Traffic. Units may initiate emergency communications by depressing the "E" (emergency) button (F11) on their MCT, or by verbally contacting Alarm. If Alarm does not acknowledge (special tone not activated), unit will then establish contact with Command and transmit the emergency message. Command will then re-initiate emergency traffic sequence with Alarm. 205.01 16/19

Question 97

For radio communications, the following designations will be recognized as standard:

Answer 97

``` Dispatch & Deployment...Alarm Officer of any unit...Unit ID Engineer of any Pumper...Pump Engineer of any Ladder...Truck Battalion Chiefs...Battalion Battalion Safety Officer...Safety ``` Remaining members will go by their Unit ID and their personal name. i.e. “E201 Firefighter Jones”, “L201 Firefighter Smith”. 205.01 17/19

Question 98

Firefighters operate with a natural inclination to drive apparatus as close to the fire as possible. This often results in positioning of apparatus that is both dysfunctional and dangerous. The placement of all apparatus on the fireground should be a reflection of the following:

Answer 98

* Standard operational procedure for first arriving companies. * Tactical objectives and priorities. * Staging procedure. * A direct order from Command. * A conscious decision on the part of the Company officer based on existing or predictable conditions. Think of fire apparatus as an expensive exposure. Position working apparatus in a manner that considers the extent and location of the fire and a pessimistic evaluation of fire spread and building failure. Anticipate the heat which may be released, and the additional risk potential given a structural collapse. Forecast where the fire is going and how it will affect exposure of apparatus. Apparatus should generally be positioned at least 30 ft. away from involved buildings, even with nothing showing. Greater distances are indicated in many situations. 205.07 3/5

Question 99

When responding Code three, use of strobe lights and siren, fire department vehicles must meet the A.R.S., Article 28 definition of an Authorized Emergency Vehicle.(Read only)

Answer 99

Question 100

Medic Unit Cleanliness and Decon.

Answer 100

Equipment which may become contaminated with blood or other potentially infectious material (OPIM) will be examined prior to placing back into service, repairing, transporting or shipping and will be decontaminated as necessary. If the equipment cannot be decontaminated, it shall be red tagged and clearly identified so that all persons who may come into contact with the equipment will be informed of the hazard and which pieces are contaminated. Food items will not be kept or stored in the patient compartment with the exception of drinking water. Wet equipment or contaminated surfaces with a department approved disinfectant. (Vionex, Disinfectant, Sanitizer wipes, or 9:1 ratio of water to bleach). Allow the disinfectant 10 minutes of contact time on the equipment or surface before rinsing or wiping off. If rinsing off a piece of equipment or contaminated surface, use clean water. If wiping, use a department approved disinfectant wipe/towel. Dispose of disinfectant wipes/towels in a RED biohazard bag. All non-disposable cleaning materials used such as mops and scrub brushes should be disinfected by saturating with bleach solution and air dried. Using one of the approved disinfectants, wipe down all other interior surfaces. (Exclude the interiors of drawers, cabinets, the floor and roof if not contaminated). Remove gloves and place in plastic garbage bag with all soiled cleaning materials. When applicable the vehicle should be exposed to natural UV light for 15 minutes and air dried. 205.08C 3/3

Question 103

Electricity will travel any conductive path it can as it seeks a ground. A ______ path to ground can occur when contact is made between something energized and a portion of your body such as your hand, arm, head, or other body part.

Answer 103

Direct. An indirect path to ground occurs when you are holding something or touching an object that is in contact with something energized. This could include tools or other equipment you may be holding or when touching a fence, vehicle, or other object that may be in contact with something energized. Gradient Voltage (Step and Touch Potential) When power lines are down, they will energize the ground around them. For Example: point of ground contact could be 7160 volts. This voltage will lessen as it radiates out from this point; for example, 6000 volts. If your feet are in areas where there is a voltage difference, you could complete the circuit and be the source to ground. This is called “step potential.” This danger could be indicated by a tingling sensation in the feet and serve as a warning to back away from the area. Step potential is more severe when the ground is wet. 205.20 2/4

Question 104

The Do’s and Don’ts of scene safety.(Read only)

Answer 104

DO 1. Pay attention to any information provided by Alarm. 2. Have one of the portable radios tuned to PD(if you have the capability). 3. Once on the scene, be aware of your surroundings and impending danger. 4. When approaching the scene and while on-scene, display a confident/in-control attitude (“Command presence”). 5. Always look for the informal or designated leader of a potentially violent group and attempt to visually monitor and, if possible, make a personal contact to ease tensions. 6. Clear the scene of potentially violent materials. 7. Set up fireline tape to help secure perimeter. DON'T 1. Get lulled into a false sense of complacency(we've been here 10 times before attitude). 2. Ignore the potential for violence on any call we go to including travel to and from the call and trips back and forth to the apparatus while on-scene. 3. Ignore your gut feeling when it doesn't feel right, it probably isn't. 4. Be confrontational be confident, but not abusive to anyone or any group. 5. Be an easy target call for assistance early and be prepared to bail when the need arises (don't be a dead hero). These guidelines will aid you and your crewmembers from potentially violent situations. Your best tools will be your good common sense and awareness. Contact and control: • The contact stands on the doorknob side of the door. This will require the person opening the door to open it wide to see you. • If there is a screen or security door, position yourself on the doorknob side of the inner door. Be subtle and non-aggressive in positioning yourself. Greet the homeowner with a friendly demeanor. • NEVER STAND DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE DOOR. 206.01 6/6

Question 105

A "less experienced" firefighter is defined as:

Answer 105

A. Probationary firefighter. B. Any member with less than two years total experience assigned to firefighting duties. It should be noted that two years firefighting experience, does not necessarily qualify that individual as experienced. Firefighters may still require direct supervision. 206.03 2/3

Question 106

Freeway Response. Other safety considerations. (Read only)

Answer 106

• Leave a person (usually the Engineer) to watch the traffic and set up warning devices. Parking brakes are to be set, and the apparatus spotted at a 45-degree angle in the direction you want traffic to flow. • Consider parking above or below (on access road) if the traffic conditions are such that entry is impossible or difficult. • Where the freeway is elevated, a ladder is effective to gain access and to effect evacuation from above. (Traffic must be considered) • Lifelines may be used to ascend or descend the steep embankments. • Only apparatus that is absolutely necessary should be taken on the freeway. • Place the apparatus between you and the on-coming traffic creating an initial “Block”, if necessary, for safety reasons. Otherwise, position apparatus in the emergency-parking lane or on the shoulder, as far off the traffic lanes as possible. • If the pump on an apparatus is needed on a freeway fire or extrication incident, the Driver Engineer should position the apparatus to protect the pump operator’s position. • Do your job as rapidly as possible and then clear the traffic lanes (30 min or less). • In sections of depressed roadway, it may be faster to have a company above "drop" a line from above. • Some sections of the freeway have limited access to hydrants and will require laying hose for long distances from on-ramps if a supply line is needed. Relay pumping, a Water Tender or tank water should be considered in these cases. • In major incidents involving several injured, notify alarm to stage all ambulances at an access ramp designated by Command. Command will then order the ambulances on to the freeway on request of the transportation officer. • On hazardous materials incidents, apparatus will be placed in safe locations, i.e., upwind and uphill. Avoid becoming a part of the problem by careful size-up and use of personal protective equipment. • Establish sectors early on large-scale incidents. • Loosen tension on cable barriers for safety and extrication (cut only as last resort). Cable Barrier System – A 3 or 4 cable barrier designed to separate opposing traffic lanes. 205.15 5/8

Question 107

Light rail impacts fire operations in several ways. First, the OCS represents an electrical hazard, as do other electrical lines. Crews should wait until they are de-energized before operating streams close to them. OSHA requires any apparatus, ladders, or other equipment to maintain a ___ foot buffer from ungrounded electrical sources such as the OCS.

Answer 107

10. Consider the following: • OCS electrical hazards *Must stay 10 feet away(in every direction)per OSHA *Electrocution risk if straight stream contacts energized OCS *If operating hose streams might contact the OCS, then electricity must be shut down. • Fire ground apparatus placement *Crews should preplan first due areas and plan apparatus placement around the light rail • Laying lines across the tracks *Treat as a water supply of last resort and avoid whenever possible. *If necessary to lay across the track you need to communicate clearly to the alarm room that you are doing so, and advise them to shut down the light rail for that section 206.21 7/8

Question 108

Light Rail Ops. | Access and Extrication(Read only)

Answer 108

• Easiest access is through the LRV doors. Crew can manually open them by opening the exterior (emergency door releases). There is one location on each side of the vehicle, located on the left side when facing the LRV. • Windows are extremely hard to break • Cutting through the body of the LRV doesn’t provide adequate access • The train has been engineered with a bumper and bar 3 inches off the track to reduce the chance of people or cars getting trapped underneath. • LRV’s are extremely heavy and unstable when lifting and this should be a last resort. • Metro has a vehicle that can safely lift LVRs, but it has an estimated response time of 30-60 minutes 206.21 5/8

Question 109

After a fire, turnouts should be:

Answer 109

Rinsed off with copious amounts of water, bagged for transport, and hang-dried at the station. Do not use high pressure air to blow debris off turnouts. Never hang or store, turnout coats or pants in the sun. The UV rays damage the PBI outer material. Damage occurs quickly. This damage may leave tears in your outer flash protection. Do not store turnouts under fluorescent lights for long periods of time due to UV degradation to outer shell material. 206.06 8/10

Question 110

Personal Protective Equipment. | Response(Read only)

Answer 110

If in quarters, all members shall dress prior to response. It is the intent of this guideline that members are fully prepared to engage in firefighting activities in a safe manner prior to entering any hazardous activity. Full protective clothing and SCBA shall be worn and operational, at all times when operating on the fireground during all phases of fire, unless otherwise directed by Command. The use of turnout coats during overhaul operations will be at the discretion of each company officer. All members shall wear whatever protective clothing is required to afford complete personal protection while operating at EMS incidents. BBP (Basic Bloodborne Protection) protection at a minimum. When operating forcible entry equipment and tools, full protective clothing shall be worn, including safety glasses or goggles and gloves. Safety glasses or goggles shall be utilized any time the need for eye protection is apparent, such as grass fires, during operations out in dust storms, and landing helicopters. Gloves shall be worn when engaged in firefighting, overhaul, training with ladders, using power tools, and any other situation where injuries to the hand are likely to occur. In specific situations for which no guidelines have been provided, members and supervisors shall decide on the proper protective clothing to protect against all foreseeable hazards. SAFETY VESTS Safety vests will be worn any time fire department members are operating in a roadway and not wearing a turnout coat. This includes roadway apparatus backing and any directing of traffic. 206.06 3/10

Question 111

Emergency personnel are at great risk while operating in or around moving traffic. There are approaches that can be taken to protect yourself and all crewmembers:

Answer 111

1. Never trust the traffic 2. Engage in proper protective parking 3. Wear high visibility reflective vests 4. Reduce motorist vision impairment 5. Use traffic cones and flares Listed below are benchmarks for safe performance when operating in or near moving vehicle traffic. 1. Always maintain an acute awareness of the high risk of working in or around moving traffic. Never trust moving traffic. Always look before you step! Always keep an eye on the traffic! 2. Always position apparatus to protect the scene, patients, emergency personnel, and provide a protected work area. Where possible, angle apparatus at 45 degrees away from curbside. This will direct motorist around the scene. Apparatus positioning must also allow for adequate parking space for other fire apparatus (if needed), and a safe work area for emergency personnel. Allow enough distance to prevent a moving vehicle from knocking fire apparatus into the work areas. 3. At intersections, or where the incident may be near the middle of the street, two or more sides of the incident may need to be protected. Block all exposed sides. Where apparatus is in limited numbers, prioritize the blocking from the most critical to the least critical. 4. For first arriving engine companies where a charged hose line may be needed, angle the engine so that the pump panel is "downstream," on the opposite side of on-coming traffic. This will protect the pump operator. 5. The initial Company Officer (orCommand) must assess the parking needs of later-arriving fire apparatus and specifically direct the parking and placement of these vehicles as they arrive to provide protective blocking of the scene. This officer must operate as an initial safety officer. 6. During day time operations, leave all emergency lights on to provide warning to drivers. 7. For NIGHTTIME operations, turn OFF fire apparatus headlights. This will help reduce the blinding effect to approaching vehicle traffic. Other emergency lighting should be reduced to emergency flashers or yellow flashers only where possible. Research has shown yellow flashers is the least distractive light for drivers and is more a cause for moving over than emergency lights which attract curious drivers to move closer to the apparatus. 8. Crews should exit the curb side or non-traffic side of the vehicle whenever possible. 9. Always look before stepping out of apparatus, or into any traffic areas.When walking around fire apparatus parked adjacent to moving traffic, keep an eye on traffic and walk as close to fire apparatus as possible. 10.Wear a reflective safety vest any time you are operating in or near vehicle traffic. 11.When parking apparatus to protect the scene, be sure to protect the work area also. The area must be protected so that patients can be extricated, treated, moved about the scene, and loaded into ambulances safely. 12.Once enough fire apparatuses have "blocked" the scene, park or stage unneeded vehicles off the street whenever possible. Bring in ambulances one or two at a time and park them in safe locations at the scene. This may be "downstream" from other parked apparatus, or the ambulance maybe backed at an angle into a protected loading area to prevent working in or near passing traffic. At residential medical emergencies, park ambulances in driveways for safe loading where possible. If driveways are inaccessible, park ambulances to best protect patient loading areas. 13.Place traffic cones at the scene to direct traffic. This should be initiated by the first company arriving on the scene and expanded, if needed, as later arriving companies arrive on the scene. Always place and retrieve cones while facing on-coming traffic. 14.Placing flares, where safe to do so, adjacent to and in combination with traffic cones for nighttime operations greatly enhances scene safety. 15. At major intersections a call for police response may be necessary. Provide specific direction to the police officer as to exactly what your traffic control needs are. Ensure the police are parking to protect themselves and the scene. 205.07A 2-4/8
