🔥 Shielding: A LIFESAVING ... 🚧 Firefighters🧯 rely on wide fog nozzles to create a protective water shield, safeguarding themselves against intense flames and Radiant heat. This simple yet powerful technique involves dispersing a fine water mist that: 1. Absorbs HEAT 2. Lowers #temperatures 3. Reduces 🔥 intensity This #lifesaving barrier enables #firefighters to approach and combat high-risk blazes, protecting both themselves and surrounding structures. 🗝️ Benefits: - Enhanced firefighter 🦺 - Reduced risk of burn injuries - Increased effectiveness in combating intense 🔥 - Protection of nearby people and property A Critical Tool in Firefighting🧯 🔥 shielding is a vital tactic in various #firefighting scenarios, including: - Structural fires - Wildland fires - Industrial fires - Rescue operations By understanding the science behind fire shielding, firefighters can utilize this technique to save lives, reduce damage, and increase their effectiveness in emergency situations. Would you like me to make any changes or additions?

1- Your lives come before theirs 2- Shifts can last for more than 24 hours. 2- They rescue animals when there is almost no hope. 4- The things firefighters see in this profession are worse than you could imagine. 5- In addition to putting out the fire, their job is to rescue humans and animals from both man-made and natural disasters. 6- Incident involving rescue from road vehicles. 7- Rescue people who trapped in collapsed building. 8. When people running away from an emergency, Firefighters are the ones running towards it whether it's an explosive, gas leak, fire, flood, earthquake, or any other situation where someone's life is in jeopardy. . . #firefighterslife #firedepartment #firebrigade #fireservice #firefighter #fireman #firefighting #rescue #firesafety

👨🚒🔥 Firefighter Training Tip: Master In-Line Relay (Steps 1+2) FULL EPISODE + CHECKLIST: TFT.com/inline-relay 🚒 Problem: Long distances between water sources and fire scenes can be challenging, especially when a single engine doesn’t have enough hose. Traditional relay pumping with multiple pumpers is a solution, but not always feasible for all departments and situations. #Firefighting #FireSafety #FirefighterTraining #OasisValve #RelayPumping #TacticalFirefighting #EmergencyResponse #FireDepartment #FirefighterTips

In this short video from August 2023 you'll witness a spot fire, a small, isolated blaze that ignited well away from the main fire front. Spot fires present significant dangers due to their unpredictable nature and potential for rapid spread. These fires can quickly grow into larger fires, especially under windy conditions, which can carry embers far from the main fire front. Spot fires can catch #firefighters and residents off guard, complicating firefighting efforts and evacuation plans. They pose a significant threat and should be anticipated! #wildfires #wildfire #wildlandfire #cyprus #fireseason #wildfireaseason

If you watch the news, you’ve probably noticed an uptick in wildfire reports over the last several years. And as wildland fires increase, so do the risks to the firefighters called on to fight them. That’s why it’s so important that they have up-to-date wildland fire gear. How do you know if your gear is good to go?

Ranchers: I guess it's time that thinking through this horrific scenario in the video needs to be part of our future fire planning. If you are fleeing a fast-burning forest fire (or, for that matter, a flood), make sure to open your gates/cut your fences for your livestock so they can run too. We all know they might not make it to the gate in time, so figure out the most likely flight paths and be ready and practiced to cut the fences in those places. (On the one hand, I think some of our brave cows would push through barb wire more than these elk can get through their fencing... on the other hand, I think the fence will be easy to cross once the posts burn... but unlike the branches and cut-on-location posts my grandfather used for fence posts, most posts are treated these days, so the posts are probably more fire-resistant than the animals... the last thing any of us want to see is a barbecued herd beside a line of treated fence posts.) We might not be able to save them all, but a little planning and forethought for emergencies means that maybe we can do our best to save as many as we can and do our best. If you're in a flood zone, make sure they can get to the high ground. If you're in a fire zone, consult a fire expert. How are prevailing winds and land patterns likely to steer a fire? Hm, I wonder if fire experts know that kind of thing, where a fire will go. I am sure it's not as predictable as a flood. I need to learn more. <note: I do not agree "fossil fuel companies" caused this problem as the original post said, I'm sharing this for the video and to discuss ranch planning -- all of us who drive cars and have air conditioning jacked up this summer, use plastics, etc., and, particularly, who vote for governments who reduce fire funding like Alberta's did last year, are in this together. I seek not to lay blame but encourage future planning and preparedness.>

💧💧The size of the area covered by water is an important aspect when fighting all types of fires. Cobra uses high pressure resulting in many small droplets in a fine water mist making it a very effective tool. https://ow.ly/Zn6Z50Svqxz #coldcutcobra #firefighting
