This week we look at a single car crash with a victim and live electrical wires.
1.) Give a basic arrival report using the C.A.N. format.
2.) If the victim is from the crash and self extricated why is she down?
3.) The electric utility company gives you an ETA of 25 minutes, what is yourimmediate rescue plan?
4.) How far should the safety zone be around this incident?
5.) Would any of your actions or rescue plan change if it was raining heavily?
The panel will be looking at a group of simulations and determining actions based upon their department circumstances, manpower and resources. The idea will be to discuss how different departments handle the same set of conditions, different ways.

This week we will be discussing Live Fire Training.
This week we have a large fire developing in a stable occupied with horses. We will assume the closest hydrant is 3/4 mile away.
1.) How will your first due crew deal with these frightened and aggravated horses?
2.) With a wooden open overhang stall how could you possible control the fire spread?
3.) In your department with your resources could you establish a rural water supply fast enough to be of service here?
4.) If the worst happens what is your plan for dealing with injured or deceased horses?
5.) Preplanning is usually discussed in urban areas, Preplanning is critical for rural target hazards as well. When preplanning, be sure to develop the water supply plan.
Several members of the panel ended up at the Firehouse Expo in Baltimore so we will be getting their thoughts and comments about the Expo itself and the training they received and general fire service issues.

Sometimes the Fire Department Training Officer can lose focus when hit with the demands of everything they are trying to accomplish. This week we talk about some important subjects that need to be addressed and how the training officer can gather data and maintain records that will keep your training program on track.
This week on 60 Second Safety we are one again talking about considerations while working from heights.
This week we are looking at a three story apartment building during the daytime.
1.) Describe your initial C A N report.
2.) Describe how you will deploy the personnel on the first two pieces of apparatus to arrive. 3.) What “stage” of the fire are you at, what could the interior conditions look like, based upon whats showing?
4.) What length of the attack line will you need to make the fire apartment?
5.) Under what conditions or circumstances would you switch to a defensive operation?
This week we will talk with Joe Starnes who asks the leading question,Is it ok not to be standard? We will talk about some alternative options for fireground operations. We will have a directed explanation and overview of a concept, and then the panel and the audience will be able to ask questions.
