With proper training and education, the ability to make the right decisions in these extraordinary situations is essential. Approximately 600 people die and over 4000 are injured annually in South Africa as a result of fire, and these blazes cause more than R500-million damage to property every year. The firefighter risks his life for the welfare of the people he does not know. His duties involve getting inside the smoldering establishment to rescue victims. Not necessarily. In the moment you might have to help, but your help should be done consultatively, so that as you are helping fight the fire, you are preparing someone else to fight (or prevent it) next time. First and foremost you need to familiarize yourself with the different kinds of fire safety equipment currently in use which include the following. The four types of fire extinguisher include water, foam, carbon dioxide, and powder fire extinguishers. These items can prove to useful in a number of ways and do more than just help the fire fighter in controlling and putting out a fire because they are also very useful in helping to rescue victims of fire as well. When flames become uncontrollable and start to be destructive, we definitely have to make an action. You need to know the basic operational procedures involve in each of these equipments to be able to properly use them. They may have procedures that caused confusion but it is also for the benefit of the operation and the people in the long run. Different types of valves are used to control the supply of water to a deluge system. Open nozzles and sprinklers are used in deluge systems.

Finally, in cold weather, pump engines containing water can freeze, so make sure enough anti-freeze is added to water lines if you must store your water pumps in very cold environments. Making sure you carry out regular maintenance on your water pumps will mean they last longer, and will be more efficient. Fire can be caused due to improper handling of lighter fluids and other inflammable liquids. It can also happen if the wiring of the house is incorrect. It looks like a living hell for someone, who is caught in the middle of it. These jackets have stripes made of reflective materials so that they will remain visible even in the dark. Starting near Cannon Street the day after the Christmas festival the blaze rapidly spread eastwards and eventually burnt down the then wooden London Bridge and once more St Paul's Cathedral was destroyed! The fire was so significant that for almost a century the blaze was referred to as the 'Great fire of London'. If you do find yourself enjoying firefighting, think about dropping the energy and enjoyment you get from these situations and refocusing your energy to coaching and development. As a leader, your role is to develop others. This ensures safety of people and businesses, and is also responsible for the right kind of confidence among people in their environment. They also have to open windows, make holes on the roof, and break wall parts to provide ventilation. The most famous fires include the great fire of London, the San Francisco earthquake fire, and the the great fire of Chicago. Being equipped with the different knowledge acquired in these trainings, could help you save lives.

With a tough job like this, they need rough training. The equipment includes fire detection and alarm systems; emergency and escape lighting systems; sprinkler systems; fire door automatic release mechanisms; portable fire extinguishers; gaseous, foam and powder extinguishing systems; smoke control systems including systems using pressure differentials; evacuation lifts for persons with disabilities; fire hydrants; hose reels; fire mains; fire doors, and other related things. His duties involve getting inside the smoldering establishment to rescue victims. They need this to see clearly in dark areas. A fire extinguisher is essential for all fire fighting jobs and is especially useful in helping to put out small sized fires such as kitchen fires. And by investing the time to coach, you are creating more time to do it more frequently and more effectively in the future. The Royal Exchange again burnt down in 1838 and the Tower of London followed just 3 years later in 1841 destroying thousands of historic relics. A number of people were killed and the embers smouldered for over a week. Firefighters are specially trained for incidences of fire. It also makes the environment warm. Emperor Hadrian visited London (or rather Londinium as the Roman city was then called) in the year 122 to see an important commercial outpost of his vast Empire. This will also help you understand the safety precautions needed to be applied in case you want to face the problem on your own. These readings can be your basic training. If you only use your water pumps every so often, check the oil before each use and top up if necessary.
