2. your team
3. everyone else
Successful safety program must have - SOP's and SOG's
Personnel
Training
Equipment
16 FF Life Safety Initiatives - Steps needed to be taken to change the
current FF culture to make it safer
Limitations of PPE - Lack of mobility, extra 50 lbs, retains heat
PPE for Vehicle Extrication - Special gloves, coveralls, jumpsuits
,Respiratory hazards associated with fire - smoke, smoke particles, smoke
vapors, toxic gases, oxygen deficiency, increased temperature
2 Main Types of SCBA - open circuit and closed circuit
Open Circuit SCBA - tank provides breathing air supply to the user and
exhaled air is released to the atmosphere through a 1 way valve
Close Circuit SCBA - recycles users exhaled air

Electrical
Three basic conditions needed for fire to occur - Fuel
Oxygen
Heat
Fourth factor needed for fire to occur - A chemical chain reaction
Conduction - Transfer of heat through matter
Convection - circulatory movement of gases (travel along the ceiling)
Four principle methods of extinguishment - Cooling the fuel (takes away
heat)
removing fuel source
taking away oxygen
interrupting chemical chain reaction
