VES: BECAUSE THE “I” IS NOT ALWAYS POSSIBLE

This class is both a lecture and hands on that fire fighters can choose to attend either or both. The lecture portion will cover recent statistics where victims are found and who ends up finding them and rescuing them, building construction and fire behavior, and how that affects our decision making as well as search priorities. We will look at different ways to perform VES as well as go over different victims drags and carries. We will have some discussions on the usageof thermal imaging cameras. Hands on Portion will have a saw/security bar station, ladders, drags and carries stations, and putting it all together with scenarios.

EVERYTHING SAWS FOR THE FIRE SERVICE

This class was created after the presenter realized in his career as a firefighter, there has not been proper training in the usage of the different saws used in the fire service. This class is both hands on and lecture based. Lecture portion will go over the different saws used on the fire ground, the differences between battery, corded, gasoline, pneumatic, and hydraulic technologies, the different chains and blades, simple maintenance and trouble shooting procedures, and body kinematics when using saws. Hands on portion will delve deeper into maintenance and trouble shooting as well as using recip saws, band saws, chain saws and rotary saws in different applications.

9:00 - 5:00 Friday, January 18, 2019

Forcible Entry (HOT)

Forcible-entry situations that you encounter on the fire ground can be difficult due to lack of training, lack of knowledge and lack of experience. The most important forcible-entry tool there is - is you! Your ability to know which tools are required and how to use those tools in as many ways as possible will ultimately determine the difficulty involved in the forcible-entry operation. The basic forcible-entry tools will still get you through almost all of the forcible-entry challenges you’re faced with on the fire ground.

This training is designed to help Firefighters develop the skills and habits necessary to master the craft of conventional forcible-entry using some of our most important tools of the trade. Upon completion of this training, Firefighters will be able to dress and set up their tools for success, perform a rapid size up to identify and defeat multiple forcible entry challenges, account for door control, effectively use commands to enhance communication, develop safe striking techniques, and perform the appropriate standardized techniques while working alone or as part of a team while maintaining a plan A, B and C for a given situation. To effectively mitigate a high stress, unpredictable event, we must be able to communicate to all rescue members our intent and predict each other’s actions based on standardized training and techniques.

Participants of this training will be able to:

- Force both inward and outward swinging doors - Two person and single person irons work - Defeat drop bars, carriage bolts and other common secondary security devices with a set of irons and power saw techniques - Become familiar with thru-the-lock techniques for common door locks - Force window security bars - Demonstration of forcing a garage door

Participants should walk away from this training very comfortable in sizing up doors and defeating a large amount of practical forcible entry problems.

MULTI GAS METERS FOR THE NON-HAZMAT TECHS Many departments provide their first run engine and ladder companies with a multi gas meter for CO calls, natural gas/propane calls, after fire monitoring, etc., with little to no training on how to use it. This class will go over the intricacies of a multi-gas meter, from the technologies used in the sensors attached, to basic operations and maintenance, interpreting readings, and using scene clues and cross sensitivities to one’s advantage.


1:00 - 4:00 Friday, January 18, 2019

EVERYTHING CARBON MONOXIDE: RESPONSE, MITIGATION, MEDICAL

Carbon Monoxide is a subject that is talked in the fire service since recruit school. Yet, it is still a subject that many of the first responders have a hard time understanding. Is CO flammable? How do we know someone has CO poisoning? How do we treat them? Is there a logical way of handling CO Alarm Activations? This class will talk about the physical and chemical properties of Carbon Monoxide, how we can monitor for it, how can we treat for CO poisoning, and when to realize that sometimes a CO Alarm is due to a cross sensitivity. This is for firefighters and emergency response personnel of all levels of training.

Active Shooter: NC Active Assailant White paper

Recent active assailant attacks and numerous after action reports demonstrate that previous response models continue to result in unnecessary loss of life. Multiple research studies demonstrate that victims continue to die needlessly at active assailant incidents because of delays in point-of-wounding care, extraction, treatment, and transport. The North Carolina Active Assailant White paper focuses on planning, training, and exercise best practices in the areas of 9-1-1, Law Enforcement, Fire, EMS, and Emergency Management. This interactive workshop will present the concepts of the White paper in an open discussion atmosphere.

Rapid Intervention Operations: Is Our Commitment Sufficient? Since the loss of Captain Jeff Bowen on July 28th, 2011, one focus are of the Asheville Fire Department has been on preparing our companies to mitigate mayday situations, including firefighter survival and rapid intervention team response. As a result of the focus, AFD has certified all online personnel in RIT to the operations level, and implemented three dedicated RIT Companies trained to the technician level.

Throughout the summer of 2014, AFD conducted hands-on, live fire analysis utilizing a complex RIT scenario to ensure the credibility of Asheville's RIT deployment model; determining the manpower, time, and breathing air requirements of such an incident. This testing analyzed AFD's ability to mitigate a complex RIT incident, ensuring we are providing the most survivable fire ground possible. As a result of the analysis, a comprehensive report was written containing all the findings. The analysis was conducted in a manner to ensure as much consistency as possible. The goals of the analysis were, to provide companies with a great training scenario, to determine the credibility of AFD's RIT deployment model, and to collect useful data to drive future operations and decision making.

The findings of this analysis, and in turn this presentation, are both important and relevant to the fire service as a whole. Rapid intervention to save our own is one of the most impactful missions we could ever be assigned. Each step of the rapid intervention process (locate, extricate, air, package, remove) Continued on the next page…

One Man and a Truck What do you do when you arrive on scene as the driver of the first-in apparatus at a working fire? Let’s look a little deeper and ask ourselves the question, “What should we do? ”This class is intended for those who work in combination departments as fire apparatus operators or those who drive as volunteers. This class is also beneficial for officers of fire departments who respond to incidents and gets on scene before the first apparatus arrives. Some of the topics discussed will include scene size ups, personnel and resource management, and establishing the initial strategies and tactics. The decisions of the “One Man” will set the stage for the rest of the fire incident. We will use scenario-based training to learn and have challenging discussions to get us to thinking about our next fire and how we would react when we respond and arrive with “One Man and a Truck.”

Substance Abuse and Mental Wellbeing: Changing Ourselves with Myself While the story I have shared over the last few years is true, I left some parts out of my personal struggle with alcohol and the ultimate consequences of the same. In my mind it was like if I didn’t talk about them and just pushed them away, maybe they didn’t happen. For anyone to fully help themselves and to be there 100% for their family they must be completely honest with themselves. I have learned that being completely honest, doesn’t only include telling the truth but also being forthcoming with all details. This is most important with our families. I was ashamed of my mistakes and was afraid if those most important to me learned of all the details, they would change their outlook towards me. For this reason, I wasn’t completely honest with myself or those closest to me until now. In addition to the importance of being completely honest we will go into full detail of this firefighter’s path through alcoholism and his mental wellness.
