E158 - Structure Fire Rescue and Bail Out Video Review. VEIS Training Break Down. This week we watched and discussed a recent video that has been floating around. 2 story residential building, Second floor rescue and Fire Fighter Bail Out. We go on to discuss early water application. Can the Pump Operator step down and handle a short hand line for suppression ? What can all be done with limited manpower. We go on to talk about our recent training which was a VEIS scenario , and Auto extrication and stabilization. WHO WE ARE As a group of Rural Volunteer Firefighters, our Fire Department has built our firefighter training from both old and new tactics in the fire service and adapted them to fit the realities of equipment, manpower, and costs around what our community requires. WHAT WE DO We create video, audio and written word content to share these training and tactics methods with our Brothers and Sisters in our extended fire families, and to showcase to those that may be interested in becoming firefighters the fun you can have and the amazing skills and abilities you get to learn, whilst keeping the lives of the people around you safe! WHY WE SHARE Firefighters are problem solvers whose role requires them to be on their best day whilst others are having their worst day, and while we do not claim to be perfect we are willing to put our lives on the line to try. It's during the trying that we continue to develop the mindset, tactics, and training that allow us to be effective, safe and successful where it's needed the most, and by sharing our experiences we hope that it may help other Fire Departments in creating what works for them to help bring everyone home safe.

LAFD Captain Enrique Graciano is a 20 year veteran firefighter, who also has 3 years as an LAPD officer under his belt. He tells us about the scariest night of his life. In September of 2003 he was a young firefighter on Truck 88, assigned to interior truck operations in a supermarket fire with flames and heavy smoke in the rear of the building. In a matter of minutes, conditions severely deteriorate, and when the order is given to pull out, he gets separated from his company, and is unable to find his way out. With time & air running out & the smoke and heat getting worse, Enrique realizes he may not make it out alive. He tells us in detail how the whole incident unfolds. How you can follow orders and procedures perfectly and still find yourself lost and trapped in a fire. We also talk about aggression vs caution, when and how to call for help in a fire, & what happens when that call goes out. We also talk about the importance of experience and knowing your crew, as Graciano's own guys from Truck 88 found him. We also talk about life in the "squirrel cage" at LAFD Fire Station 88, the biggest in the city. What's it like to have your life flash before your eyes? Or to barely escape a fully involved supermarket fire that still had customers shopping inside when you showed up? This is the definition of a close call with death.   

In this Sunday edition: Over the last several months, we've been investigating the long history of allegations of sexual harassment and racism at the Los Angeles Fire Department. We spoke to more than 20 sources, mostly women firefighters who detailed years of hostile ‘pranks', isolation, and harassment. They also told us about the retaliation that keeps it all quiet. Senior politics reporter Libby Denkmann sat down with Nick Roman, who hosts the p.m. edition of The L.A. Report, to talk about what she heard.  Support the show: https://support.laist.com/laistnav

If you are anything like me, then you try to keep your friend circle small. One thing that I've learned over the past several years is how important it is for me to open up my circle to the extent of allowing me to grow and learn from other people.    The moment that we tell ourselves that we are going to keep people out of our circle, it's the moment that we are also telling ourselves that we are allowing a disservice to take place.    We are very limited to the extent that we can learn and grow on our own. We need to humble down sometimes in order to expand past where we are now.    In today's episode, Brian K. Bishop, Clint Walton and I discuss how to actually allow yourself to open up and make friends as an adult.    Like what you hear? We are honored.

Content Warning: This episode contains graphic content.  Welcome back to the hottest podcast in America, literally.  This episode is taking it back. Way back. To day one and the very first guy Rob met when he got to the Firehouse. They ended up becoming great friends and 20 years later they're still as close as it gets. And they have some honest conversations about some tough subjects.  For more than 25 years Captain Mike McCaffery served the city of New York. First as a police officer in the 120th precinct, and later as a firefighter in Engine 216 where he met Rob. He was then promoted to lieutenant in Engine 201 and finally as the Captain of Engine 228. He has been a fierce advocate for his fellow firefighters and was a huge part of the passage of the Zadroga Act. He's a helper and he's a hero. He'd never say that, but we will.

1 Thessalonians 5.5-6 NLT 'You are all children of the light and of the day; we don't belong to darkness and night. So be on your guard, not asleep like the others. Stay alert and be clearheaded.' When I was in my teens, I did a fascinating six-week course at a local fire-station. Because it was held over a number of weeks I got to know the fire-fighters and became familiar with the atmosphere of the station. In many ways it felt quite relaxed but it was also clear that they were ready at any moment to respond to a call. When the deafening bells sounded, they responded instantly. As they ran, they were putting on their jackets and within moments they were all on the fire- engine and heading out of the station. It was an impressive performance and gave me a wonderful picture of what it means to be alert. That is precisely Paul's message to the Thessalonian church. Jesus might return at any time and so they needed to ensure that they were always ready for it. Paul tells his readers that they need to have clear heads, and contrasts this with those who drink too much. Intoxicating drink is a challenge in every society, and it was clearly the case in Thessalonica. Everyone knew what a drunk person looked like and it was a warning to the church. A drunk person is always a pathetic sight because they are, to a greater or lesser extent, out of control. This is precisely the opposite of what his readers needed to be as Christians. They should be fully in control and properly equipped. Paul gives a quick summary of the spiritual equipment that they needed. They should be protected by the armour of faith and love and wearing, as their helmet, the confidence of salvation. The church of Jesus Christ faces huge challenges in our day, and the only way that we will be able to serve God effectively is by being alert and clearheaded. Firefighters maintain their alertness by being continually tested and trained. I recall that they would often do training exercises to ensure that they knew how to use their breathing apparatus and respond to the wide range of fires which they might face. As Christians we also need to ensure that we are maintaining a high level of readiness so that we will serve God faithfully. QUESTION: Do you consider that you are alert and clearheaded? PRAYER: Loving Father, in the power of your Spirit help us to be fully ready to serve you. Amen

I have had a lot of people talk to me about how they wish they had planned better for retirement. I know, you probably think I'm talking about the financial aspect of retirement but that's not what these discussions have been about.    Instead, these discussions have been about how many people who are in professions like police, fire and armed services were never given the tools in order to properly establish themselves into full-time civilian life.    In today's episode, we are joined with retired officer Brian K. Bishop and Detective Walton as we dive deep into what can be done in order to establish yourself outside of your profession.    Like what you hear? We are honored.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for October 12, 2021 is: extricate • EK-struh-kayt • verb Extricate means "to free or remove someone or something from an entanglement or difficulty." // Firefighters extricated the passengers from the wreckage. // The wife of the accused hired an attorney to extricate herself from the allegations brought against her husband. See the entry > Examples: "The skylight has been lifted off Toland Hall to create an opening large enough to extricate the panels by crane." — Sam Whiting, The San Francisco Chronicle, 31 Aug. 2021 Did you know? Extricate is used for the act of freeing someone or something from a tangled situation. Its spelling and meaning comes from Latin extricatus, which combines the prefix ex- ("out of") with the noun tricae, meaning "trifles or perplexities." The resemblance of tricae to trick is no illusion—it's an ancestor.

As a First Responder spouse we often go in and out of survival mode depending on whether we are single parenting or co-parenting.  This may cause us to actually adopt two different parenting styles or ways to run the household. It can often feel like our life pauses a moment and then they return and we're back. The transition in and out of this is a challenge for the whole family. In this episode, Dr. Rachelle (Fire Wife) and Dr. Alma (Police Wife) do some deep reflecting on all the challenges this may pose for first responder families and how it plays out in their own.

Oftentimes leading to wild conspiracy theories, distrust, and a slew of other things.His mission is to build a better understanding of wildfire, increase transparency, be an advocate for his community, and always be in the corner of the "boots on the ground".You know the drill...Stay safe, stay savage...Enjoy!..........................Updates!EXCLUSIVE MERCH AVAILABLE!https://anchorpointpodcast.com/store..........................Sponsors:The Anchor Point Podcast is supported by the following wonderful folks...Mystery RanchNeed badass packs?

We're joined by LAFD Captain Donald "Dilly" Dillenberger, Pilot Joel Smith, & Firefighter Alex Salas. These guys were the 1st in Truck Company (Truck 73) on a man trapped in a vertical storm channel during a torrential downpour in May of 2015. These guys rush to find a guy hanging onto a wood plank for dear life with water rushing by at 25-30 mph. Firefighter Salas throws the guy a rope from a distance, in the pouring rain, over a fence, down in the river, and hits the guy square in the chest just as he loses his grip on the plank. They then attempt a rescue that is not advised in any manual, has not been attempted before, and is not practiced. They have to save a man trapped in a storm channel with completely vertical walls, NO rescue or access point, in rising, freezing, rapid water, in pouring rain, with no stable anchor points to tie off a rope. Firefighter Smith puts a harness on Dilly, who says an epic line and jumps in the storm channel and grabs the guy. Now the rest of the guys have to get Dilly and the victim out, with no time to spare, and the freezing water raging on both of them. Here's where the story really gets crazy & has roof ladders being lowered, & Smith almost falling in. We have audio clips from the incident (and video) & Dilly gives great insight into the Swift Water rescue plan and system within LAFD. Including the incident that set the whole plan in motion. We also learn why teamwork and knowing every part of your job as a firefighter is important.
