How can training help in first responder preparation and in overcoming barriers?

Asked by Fernando almost 8 years ago

You have to know what you are getting involved with in this career and what the hazards or pros and cons. Training continues through out your career due to changes that occur all the time from medical treatment to tactics and construction.

If a drunk adult person got stuck in a small children's tube-slide, how would the fire fighters proceed to get that person unstuck. PS: it would be great if i could get multiple scenarios.

Asked by David vk about 8 years ago

We would have to take apart the slide to get them out or cut them out. How about someone get stuck in the center of it by their hair?

Scene safety includes us. If you attack a firefighter while doing his job expect 3 others to come help him. It is an arrestable offense

Do fire fighters and police get along well?

Asked by Dainyinketie over 7 years ago

Generally yes, there is some tensions specifically like New York PD and FD. I have seen it personally. My thought on it is there our days where I need them on a scene and they need me on others. We should operate as a team but unfortunately egos in some communities do get in the way of common sense.
