How often do fire fighters actually fire fires?

Posted by admin on January 6th, 2012 and filed under fires | 1 Comment »

It never seems like fire fighters after fight dangerous building fires. Typically they respond to accidents and are too late to any automotive fires to really do much about it. How often do they actually run into burning buildings and risk their lives?

Upon the basis that seems an extremely difficult – if not impossible – question to answer other than upon a local basis, I made up the following response -

Whether its day or whether its night
Whether its dark or whether its light
Against the flames the fireman will fight.
For every fireman has only one aim
That is to put out each threatening fame.

Is it worth doing a BSc Hons Fire and Rescue if i want to go into the fire brigade?

Posted by admin on January 3rd, 2012 and filed under fire rescue | 2 Comments »

I am currently doing a BTEC Public Services in college. Im trying to decide whether or not it is worth going to the University of Wolverhampton to do a BSc Hons in Fire and Rescue. I want to be an officer.

I’d say no. Waste of money going to Uni for that:

No formal qualifications are required to become a firefighter. However, you will need to pass a series of written and apptitude tests to proceed with any application. Any qualifications you bring into the service may help with future promotion.

I’ve looked all over town (Birmingham, AL). I need to order ten packs online with express shipping (NEED THEM BY THE END OF THE WEEK!!!!)
I mean the Brand Fire Chief. I am not an incompetent human being; I am aware of where to find wooden matches.

Do you mean you’re looking for the actual Fire Chief brand name, or are you just asking where you can buy wooden matches?

Boxes of wooden matches (often called "kitchen matches") are sold in most grocery stores.

Where can I get fire safety training in Philadelphia PA for daycare employees.
It would be extremely helpful if someone give me a website phone number or even the name of a place.

I’d call the local non-emergency number for the fire station. Lots of them have programs available to the public

What does it cost to call the fire department?

Posted by admin on November 30th, 2011 and filed under fire department | 2 Comments »

For a project I am doing I need to find out how much it would cost to call the fire department if it’s a non emergency. Like if you were putting on a performance with Fire in it what would it cost to tell the fire department that the fire was part of the show and not an emergency! I really need to know this fast! Thanks

For non-emergencies in the Uk you would pay the normal call cost to call the Fire Service. This is because it is NOT an emergency. For any call which may be classed as an emergency then the calls in UK are free, using the code 999 or 112. It is 911 in North America. Same rules apply to all of the emergency services. The emergency calls are routed directly through to the control rooms so that they can be dealt with as a matter of urgency. All non-urgent calls have to be separate so that the system is always kept free for the emerncy calls.

What is the average yearly budget for a volunteer fire department?

Posted by admin on November 22nd, 2011 and filed under fire department | 2 Comments »

I’m doing a research paper on Volunteer Fire Department budget cuts. I need help finding sources for yearly budgets.

Then you are going to have to contact lots of different volunteer fire departments and get their budgets, because every fire department is different.

Why does my fire alarm keep faulting every three days?

Posted by admin on November 15th, 2011 and filed under fire alarm | 1 Comment »

Simplex Grinnell fire alarm keeps setting off the alarm in the box, a really annoying beeeeeeeep! Not main alarm. When I push reset the fire department shows up. I warn them in advance but they still keep coming. I replaced the dead backup battery but it didn’t help.
Never mind, someone had unplugged the fax and phone line to it that was in another office., traced every wire and found it. Thank you.

Contact the manufacture sooner than later. There is a limit to the number of times the fd will show up and they may even start to fine you.

How to keep an apartment fire alarm from going off when taking a shower?

Posted by admin on November 11th, 2011 and filed under fire alarm | 4 Comments »

I know I’m hot, but not quite hot enough to set off a fire alarm. It seems that the steam from the shower gets out of the bathroom and causes the alarms to go off.
What can I do to fix this, aside from moving the alarms?

Find a paper cup the right size and slip if over the entire alarm head before you shower. Alarm sensors can’t tell the difference between steam and smoke.
