The hose, horn and nozzle are checked. The equipment is weighed for loss of contents. You can become a master by going through special modules and achieve foundation in order to deal with uncontrollable fire. After you have gone through the different information, you can fight fire only if you are sure of what you are doing. 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. Without proper training and the right gear, they will not be able to do what they do. Fire fighting equipment in the hands of trained personnel can prove to be the best tools to help in controlling and putting out a fire. You will be sure that you will not be adding harm or injury to yourself and others. On top of that, you can be ensured that whatever you will be doing can provide an effective temporary or permanent solution before the calling the help of the professionals. They see to it that they contained the fire fully. This will prevent further damage on the property.

They need firefighting equipments such as extinguishers and water hose with the fire hose reels. They need this to combat fire. It takes a lot of skills and abilities to become a fire fighter. There is a calling for proper training and conditioning of the body. Many Londoners lost their lives after fleeing onto London Bridge, when the winds changed and the blaze took root on the northern end of the bridge their fates were tragically sealed. It is a sad truth that to this day smoking in bed is major cause of fire and proof that in history lay lessons for us all! A halligan bar is required to help with fire and rescue services. This is a multipurpose tool that helps to pry, twist, punch and strike and is made up of a claw and blade as well as a tapering pick which provides excellent use in helping to quickly force open different types of locked/jammed doors. Along with the advantages of fire come its perils. Air monitoring meters are other essential items of fire fighting equipment that help in measuring carbon monoxide content in the air as well as amount of oxygen in the air. Fire causes the hazards which are as follows: During a fire, the smoke causes the suffocation and deaths because of the high content of carbon mono-oxide and other toxic gases. It also causes severe third degree burns which could be lethal. 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.

If there is a simple outbreak of fire, you can stop the flames on your own without calling for help, if you think you know how. You need to understand how fire works and how it starts. The list goes on. Today fire still presents a threat to life and property in the metropolitan area of London, and with professional public fire fighters and state of the art fire fighting equipment we can still struggle to hold back the flames, which have haunted the city for centuries. These items include the fire hose, the ladders, and other extinguishing devices. Through archaeological evidence it is estimated that most buildings within the 100-acre area were so severely damaged that much of the area was unoccupied for almost a century following the first Great Fire of London! They have to wear protective gear. This material prevents the firefighters from acquiring burns. With water fire extinguishers, additives are often mixed with the water to increase their effectiveness, therefore you could have two extinguishers which are the same size, but which have different numerical ratings, because one is more effective than the other. We therefore need to look at these fire classifications first, before looking at the actual fire extinguisher ratings for the various types of fire extinguisher. As the fire grew it destroyed 13000 houses, 87 church's, 52 Livery Halls, St Paul's Cathedral, London's Guildhall, the Royal Exchange and most other buildings of note within the 436 acre site of what became known thereafter as 'The Great Fire of London'. However 1666 was not the only time that the devastation of fire visited the inhabitants of London, and indeed was not even the first blaze to be entitled the 'Great Fire of London'! 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.
