Extrication Terminology After the November extrication drill it was mentioned that not everyone is clear on extrication terms used at a scene or training. The following are common terms used for extrication evolutions, vehicle parts, and extrication tools. If we are to be efficient at a rescue scene a good understanding of terms is a must. ADVANCED HIGH STRENGTH STEEL- Steels used to improve safety as well as fuel economy such as Boron, press-hardened, dual phase, or Martensite steel within the structure of late-model vehicles ACTION CIRCLE- The area immediately around the vehicle that is KEPT CLEAR of tools, debris, unnecessary people and other obstructions. This is set as a safety zone. AIR BAGS (SRS) – A passive restraint system resembling a pillow or balloon found on late model vehicles. It is designed to deploy within a fraction of a second of vehicle impact providing a cushioning effect for vehicle occupants. AIR LIFTING BAGS - Heavy rubber over Kevlar bags designed to fit, uninflated, into narrow spaces. Once inflated they provide many tons of lifting power. AIR TOOLS/ PNUEMATIC TOOLS - Hand tools that are air driven. Air chisels, impact wrenches, cut off saws, drills etc. CROSS MEMBER - Heavy metal support beams that run transversely between the frame rails on the underside of the vehicle. CRUMPLE ZONES – These are areas in the front and rear of late model passenger vehicles, they use structural components that are designed to collapse during an impact therefore absorbing the force and reducing occupant injuries CUT OFF OR WIZZER SAW – A small air driven rotary saw (3” dia). DASH JACK/LIFT DASH ROLL DISASSEMBLY - The use of hand tools to break down a component into its various parts. DISENTANGLMENT - The act of removing the vehicle from around the patient (not vice - versa)

DISPLACEMENT - The act of moving a particular part of a vehicle beyond it's normal operating range in order to gain access or egress. DISTORTION - To twist or bend a component out of its normal or original condition. DOOR LATCH STRIKER PINS - A pin or bolt that the door latch will lock onto to hold the vehicle door closed. Sometimes called the Nader pin. FLAPPING THE ROOF – The severing and/or displacing a portion of, or, the entire vehicle roof. This is done to provide better patient access, packaging, and removal. This also provides a quick exit for the rescuer if needed. FORCE OR POP DOOR - The act of removing a door by using hand tools or heavy hydraulic equipment. FREEZE - The term FREEZE should be used any time a rescuer sees an unsafe and unchecked procedure. Once a FREEZE is called, the person working should immediately stop, ascertain the problem and correct the same. HAND TOOLS - Any tool used that is driven by hand not powered by a motor of any type. HEAVY HYDRAULICS - Generally refers to extrication tools that operate by a powered hydraulic pump driven by a gasoline or electric motor. A heavy hydraulic system may include a power unit, spreader, cutter, and rams of different lengths. HYBRID VEHICLE – A vehicle designed to get high fuel economy by using an electric motor to supplement a small gasoline engine. PASSIVE RESTRAINT SYSTEMS –Safety systems within the vehicle designed to protect the occupants such as air bags and seatbelt pre-tensioners PEDALS - The operating pedals are usually a medium strength steel attached to the underside of the firewall by a pivot point. They are normally displaced with a minimal amount of force. PEDAL CUTTER – A small cutter used to cut steering wheel ring and brake and clutch pedals. Operated by a hand pump. PURCHASE POINT - Access points made to allow a larger tool to fit in and go to work. Purchase points give a heavy hydraulic tool a place to get a "bite". RECIPROCATING SAW (sawzall) - An electrically operated saw with a blade that moves back and forth rapidly. It has many uses at an accident scene

RIP-N-BLITZ – A rapid extrication evolution used to remove both doors and the “B” post from a four-door vehicle. ROOF - The roof of most vehicles is framed by hollow rolled sheet metal of a heavier gauge than the skin of the vehicle. Reinforcing ribs run transversely across providing rigidity for the sheet metal skin. On some vehicles the shoulder harness reinforcement plate may be located in the roof framework extending 2-4 inches in either direction of the harness. ROOF POSTS - Roof posts extend from the floor of the vehicle up to the bottom of the roof and are usually a hollow rolled sheet metal. For reference the posts are labeled starting with the front post as an "A" post and progressing through the alphabet with each post rearward. SEVERANCE - The act of separating or cutting apart. SIDE IMPACT BEAM- A beam or tube of AHSS located in the doors of the vehicle. These beams offer added protection for side impacts and also direct impact forces around the passenger compartment. SPRING TOWER- A land mark for making a relief cut for a dash jack. The spring tower is just inside of the front wheel, usually consisting of a heavy coil spring around the Macpherson strut. STEP CHOCKS - Specially designed cribbing generally used for stabilization of a vehicle during the initial operations. TOOL STAGING AREA - A designated area set up just outside the action circle for the placement of tools prior to and after use. TRANSVERSE BEAM – A main structural component of the occupant cabin, the transverse beam is located under the dashboard. The dash, steering column, passenger side airbag etc. are mounted to it. Used to transmit impact forces around the passenger compartment. May be Magnesium or AHSS.

SIDE IMPACT BEAMS

Matching Your Language to Your Audience

2017 1st Quarter Community Risk & Reduction Training

What do 5” hose, SCBA, TIC, bunker gear, irons and 5 gas have in common? Every occupation, even hobbies and games have their own “jargon”. The Glossary of Grammatical and Rhetorical Terms states; “Jargon refers to the specialized language of a professional or occupational group. Such language is often meaningless to outsiders”. It’s great when you are in that particular setting, but when you’re the “outsider”, no matter your age or education, you may have no idea what people are talking about. When we encounter members of the public either during a station tour or at some other event, it’s very easy to use fire service jargon when asked about tools or other equipment that we may be displaying. But, just keep it simple regardless of the audience. Use descriptive or common terms. Most adults have no idea what an ALS ambulance is, but instead of the acronym, just say Advanced Life Support. And, thanks to television they all know what a Paramedic is. The point is, when you tell a visitor that we have 5” hose, instead of large diameter (to an adult), or big hose (to kids), are they wondering what can you do with only 5 inches of hose? Or, this is a TIC. Is it a camera were can see heat through smoke with? Or, is it something we check our dogs for in the summertime. Do you carry a 5 or 9 iron into a fire? Or are they just an axe and pry bar? Keep it simple. Use words in place of acronyms. The more our customers understand, the more likely they are to share the information they learned with others.

Take the jargon test.

A group of new vehicle sales associates are talking about “birthday units”. What’s that? __________

________________________________________________________________________________

What does a mechanic do with “pickle forks”? ___________________________________________

A baker tells you he has to “flute” a pie. ________________________________________________

The Clay Fire Territory Training Division schedules training on a monthly, quarterly, and annual basis.

The schedule for all of these trainings is identified in the Clay Fire Territory Annual Training Plan as

well as the monthly training packet.

Training Categories & Requirements

As mentioned on the previous page, ISO sets hourly requirements of each member on an annual basis.

The following section of this SOG will describe the different types of training offered by Clay Fire as

well as who is responsible for completion of these trainings.

Quick Drills

Required For: All personnel (Officers, Engineers, Firefighters, and Tanker Drivers) and must be

completed by the last day of each month.

General Description: Consist of various training topics and are typically short hands-on training drills,

company officer led discussions, or self-study drills. These drills contribute to the 192 hours needed for

company training.

Delivery Method: All Quick Drills are assigned to each member through Target Solutions.

Verification Method: Once a member completes a drill, he or she must login to their Target Solutions

site and record completion of the drill. Each drill requires the member to electronically verify that the

drill was completed.

Facilities Training:

Required For: All personnel except Tanker Drivers. Every applicable member must complete at least

18 hours of training on the Clay Fire training grounds every year. A minimum of one facilities training

will be held each month. In order to meet the 18 hour requirement, every applicable member must

attend at least 9 of the 12 scheduled sessions.

General Description: Foundation level skills and scenarios that ensure standardization and job

readiness.

Delivery Method: These will be delivered multiple times per shift based on the topics. They will also

be delivered a minimum of once per month during the evening to allow participation of part-time

members. The Division Chief of Training shall ensure the training is completed in a structured format to

ensure consistency.

Verification Method: A training sign-in sheet shall be completed for each session. It is the individual’s

responsibility to ensure their participation has been recorded on the training log. The Division Chief of

Training will ensure that the training log is entered into Target Solutions.

Extended Time Off: Any member who has an extended period of time off due to illness, injury, or leave

of absence is still required to meet the 18 hour annual minimum. Any time a career member returns to

work after an extended absence, he or she must contact the Division Chief of Training to make

arrangements to make-up the missed trainings.

Required For: All personnel except Tanker Drivers and must be completed by the last day of the

quarter.

General Description: Essential job functions that are completed on a quarterly basis and are validated

through department check-off sheets or State of Indiana JPR’s.

Delivery Method: These drills are to be conducted at the individual and company level. The intent of

the minimum company standards is both to ensure that all members possess knowledge and skill to

complete job-specific tasks and to meet the 192 hours of company training per department policy.

Verification Method: The Company Officer shall complete a training log for all members who

participated in the drill. In addition, all appropriate information shall be entered into the Form 704-A.

At the end of the quarter, all 704-A forms must be returned to the Division Chief of Training.

Extended Time Off: Any member who has an extended period of time off due to illness, injury, or leave

of absence is still required to make up any missed minimum company standards during their absence.

Annual Skills Validation

Required For: All personnel except Tanker Drivers and will be completed in September each year.

General Description: The annual skills validation incorporates some of the minimum company

standards that were performed by all personnel throughout the year.

Delivery Method: All personnel are required to come to the Training Grounds/CTC to complete a

hands-on skills validation. The annual skills validation is performed under the direction of the Division

Chief of Training as well as Field Training Officers. Each member is also required to complete a

written exam that is assigned through Target Solutions.

Verification Method: In order to pass the written exam, all members must achieve a score of 80% or

higher. All hands-on skills are validated using a check-off sheet and a passing score on each skill is

achieved when a member shows proficiency in the skill to be performed and is able to complete each

step as identified in the JPR/check-off sheet.

Hazmat Training

Required For: All personnel

General Description: These trainings will cover various hazmat topics at the Awareness & Operations

level.

Delivery Method: Hazmat training is delivered both through formal training sessions at the Clay Fire

Training Grounds and also through monthly Quick Drills. Quick drills are completed throughout the

month as assigned by the Division Chief of Training. Once per quarter, the Division Chief of Training

and the Hazmat Coordinator will deliver a hands-on hazmat training. In order to meet the annual 6

of 6

hour requirement, all members must attend at least 3 out of the 4 scheduled sessions. Each year,

the first scheduled session is the hazmat refresher and is required of every member.

Verification Method: A training sign-in log shall be completed for each session. It is the individual’s

Electrical Issues on the Fireground House fires are the bread and butter of most structural firefighting organizations, and a common source of multiple hazards. Most departments have standard operating procedures (SOPs) that address electrical issues, such as disconnecting utilities, lockout protocols and the use of ladders and equipment around overhead wires. If your department doesn’t have them, look into establishing them. Yet even when such SOPs exist and are followed, there are several relatively common scenarios that can complicate or defy safe operations where electricity is involved. These complications involve construction methods, material failure and human tampering—and they’re more common than you think. Energized Utility Panels One of the more common situations occurs when a fire involves the area around the electrical panel/breaker box. How do you shut off the power when the area around the breakers is on fire? The initial response is often to reach for the CO2 or dry chemical extinguisher, put out the fire around the breaker box and then shut off the breakers. In many cases, this is the appropriate action. However, this method can still be hazardous. When the supply to the electrical panel/breaker box is in a conductive pipe or weatherhead that has been exposed to high heat, it can degrade or melt the insulation around the wires or the spacer/grommet in the weatherhead, allowing the wires to touch the metal of the weatherhead. These failures allow electricity to flow into the pipe, the weatherhead, the electrical panel/breaker box, and whatever is attached to the electrical panel/breaker box. This causes the electrical panel/breaker box, as well as any conduit or other conductive material attached to it, to become energized, creating an electrocution hazard. Shutting off the breakers in such a situation does not stop the flow of electricity, as electricity just bypasses the breaker and travels through the metal box and panel. Not only does this create an electrocution hazard to the person securing the utilities, it also endangers anyone who touches any conduit or piping attached to the electrical panel/breaker box, weatherhead or even ground wires attached to the electrical system. Some building codes allow the grounding of electrical equipment to copper or galvanized water systems. If the electrical system is grounded to the water system, then the entire plumbing system for the house, as well as the panel/breaker box, may be energized. Watch out for that green line—it may bite! The bottom line: When an electrical service drop or electrical panel/breaker box is involved in a fire, the firefighter securing the utilities must be aware of the possibility that the electrical panel/breaker box itself may be energized, and follow appropriate

departmental policies. They must also inform the incident commander (IC) and incident safety officer (ISO) that the electrical system may not have been secured. For most departments, when a service drop or an electrical panel/breaker box has been heavily involved in a fire, the only way to guarantee the safety of the personnel working in the area is to have the utility company disconnect service from the structure at the supply side before operations are resumed in the potentially energized area. Falling Wires Overhead service drops are the source of another electrical problem associated with material failure. If the structure has an overhead electrical service drop, and the point of attachment on either the pole or building is involved in fire, there’s a significant chance that the wires will eventually fall. In many circumstances, a steel or aluminum cable supports the service drop from a utility pole to a structure, with the electrical wire attached to or wrapped around the cable. The cables easily support the weight of the electrical wire under most conditions. However, these aluminum cables and the aluminum crimp connections that secure them can fail at relatively low temperatures. In cases where these aluminum attachment points or cables have been exposed to heat or fire, they can melt and allow the cable to fall, bringing the electrical service wire with it. This downed cable can cause a number of different shock hazards. Initially, the cable may fall on or near people working in the area, causing a direct contact hazard that’s difficult to see in the haze of firefighting operations, especially when it isn’t expected or conditions have suddenly changed. A more insidious hazard occurs when the wire falls into a pool of water that has formed in the area due to firefighting efforts, creating a hazard zone as large as the wet area while hiding the fallen wires under the muddy surface of the water. Another hidden or remote danger can be created when the wire falls onto a chain-link fence, metal roof or other conductive surface. This allows the energized wire to transmit its electrical hazard long distances to wherever the electricity finds a sufficient grounding path, providing a significant hazard to both fire personnel and the public along the way. Wires can also fall onto any vehicles in the area, including fire and emergency vehicles, adding the unfortunate element of professional embarrassment to the dangers of electrocution. If the stability of these service drop supports is in question, inform the IC and ISO, and make sure to alert the local utility company to disconnect power at the pole. Pole Fires Pole fires are relatively common occurrences, often caused by lightning, electrical component failure and people doing the things that keep us in business. The typical scenario involves fire personnel and apparatus standing by, preventing spot fires or extension from falling embers, waiting for the utility crews to arrive and secure the electricity so fire personnel can apply water to the fire safely, if it hasn’t already gone out.

When a wooden or metal pole is involved, it usually doesn’t burn fast or long enough to become structurally weak enough to fail, but when it does burn enough to become dangerous, it’s usually evident, giving fire personnel ample time to reposition their resources as needed. The basically stable pole fire scenario can change dramatically when fiberglass utility poles are involved. Fiberglass utility poles are becoming increasingly common and are most often used in areas where it’s difficult to maneuver the heavy equipment necessary to place or replace the more traditional, predictable wooden or steel utility poles. They are most common at the ends of long, narrow alleys, remote areas and many confined locations, both rural and urban. They are also increasingly being used in residential areas as “disguised” utility or cell phone tower structures, built in the shapes of trees, cactus or any other visually attractive shape. When presented with a high heat source such as lightning or electrical component fire, a vehicle or structure fire, or even a sustained brush fire, the resin in fiberglass poles can ignite and burn, significantly weakening the pole. Although very strong when intact, fiberglass poles are easily weakened by fire or impact, such as from a vehicle accident. The hollow, lightweight poles don’t need much time or visible damage to lose their structural integrity and fail. Unfortunately, it’s often very difficult to safely determine the difference between a fiberglass pole and a steel utility pole until it’s too late. If you’re uncertain of the construction of an involved utility pole, position personnel and apparatus as if the pole is made of fiberglass and prone to failure. Be aware of the fall zone of the pole and any hazards, such as structures and fences, contained within that zone, and evacuate and secure as per your local SOPs. Solar Installations A recent addition to the electrical hazards firefighters may face is the solar power generating system. These systems are largely unregulated or under-regulated from an electrical code standpoint and often carry much more current than standard residential systems. A fully operational solar panel system for a large residence or small business can generate upward of 200 to 600 volts and average 10 to 50 amps on a bright, sunny day. In addition, their output is not reduced on cloudy days as much as you may think. As long as the panels are exposed to light, there’s a strong possibility that the system is generating current, and lots of it. Anyone cutting into a solar power system or its wiring in an attempt to ventilate a roof may be in for a deadly surprise. These systems can be live as long as there’s light, even when the breakers are thrown to the rest of the house. Although a few jurisdictions require cutout relays on such systems, most do not. At this point, the only way to safeguard any of these systems is to wait for night, or cover the panels with salvage covers or other light-proof cover. It’s imperative to talk to the local installers and check your local codes so you can develop SOPs to work with these increasingly popular and potentially dangerous systems. Illegal/Improper Wiring Last but not least in our discussion of possible electrical hazards: the “freeloader,” or

do-it-yourself electrician. In trailer parks, apartment buildings, strip malls or even residential neighborhoods, it’s not unheard of for multiple structures or businesses to be illegally or improperly wired from a single breaker box, panel or meter. Improperly wired additions pose the same problems. Although this practice is more common in structures with multiple service boxes close to each other, it can occur nearly anywhere. There’s often no easy way to discover this situation without testing outlets or appliances in the structure in question. Some indicators may be a secondary shutoff between an alley supply and a breaker box or between a breaker box and a structure, a missing tamper clip on the meter, or large-diameter wires running from the back of a utility box or meter to a neighboring structure, business or service box. A common victim of this scenario is the fire investigator, who, while digging through the structure for evidence, contacts a wire that is supposed to be de-energized only to find out that it is indeed still energized. Investigators or any personnel involved in overhaul or mop-up should use a “voltage pen” or similar indicating device to determine if a wire is de-energized before touching it. Don’t assume that just because you’ve thrown what looked like the right breakers or switches that the service is disconnected. Better yet, wait for the utility company to disconnect the service if there is any doubt. Conclusion Keep your eyes open and let the IC and ISO know of anything unusual or uncertain, and you may help someone you know go home at the end of their shift.
