Personal Statement: Damage Controlman
Mike,
Welcome to the class. You have an extensive resume in the world of fire and rescue. Have you ever thought about coming into the military? In the Navy we call your profession Damage Controlman. I am from the Aviation side of the Navy; however, I have always side if I had to choose a rate on the surface side it would be that one. That job is very exciting and important because when you’re out to sea everyone is a firefighter. I think the best part of their job is the schoolhouse and training new recruits. I have good friend of mine that is a Damage Controlman too and has reached his highest rank of Master Chief in a short time. My uncle was a Fire Chief for a long time until he retired.

    Assignment 3: Homeland Security Integrative Project

    Forest-Fires and Oil spills are two different disaster events that have different trajectories, and require the deployment and utilization of specialized tools and equipment. Mostly, the tools utilized in attending to Forest-fires by personnel would be different from the tools that would be deployed in Oil spills, and new tools when provided to the same personnel without adequate training, in utility do create additional challenges. Where and when this process is negated, matching skill-sets are done inefficiently. Some of these includes: Deploying disaster trained personnel such as the US Coast Guard in supporting administrative positions, and in resource or planning sections. A reference case in point includes during the DWHO where the U.S Coast Guards members were inefficient due to lacking appropriate training regarding Oil-spill response and activities. Rather, U.S Coast Guards member’s services had been traditionally utilized in attending to mass rescue operations, natural disasters and national security…

    Senior Project: Firefighting

    When the average person thinks of being a firefighter, they usually imagine cute Dalmatian dogs, loud sirens, heavy clothes, huge water hoses, poles to slide down, and giant ladders. Firefighting is a more complex job than people think because it has many characteristics that we do not think of. Aspects such as the various types of technology used, the different tactics you see on a day to day basis, the physical abilities one must be capable of, and the types of equipment used. It takes both physical and mental strength to get through a day of saving lives and fighting fires. This paper discusses the topics that examine why there is more to being a fireman than just loud sirens and huge…

    Orange County Fire Department

    Also, that is why the training and guidelines/procedures are so strict. Firefighter training and academy mimics how the military trains our soldiers. How tough and strict they are about every little detail and especially safety. The training physically and mentally is one of the most challenging things you will have to endure. From the physical work out every day to the mental studies you have to do and the practices you have to learn to keep with the times. Especially, on your probationary period, this is a big factor, you have to be the one doing anything and everything perfectly. However, once you become a firefighter and off probationary, you still don’t stop evolving. Although, there is nothing more rewarding, from the great pay, benefits and retirement plan. Also, knowing that you can help the community and civilians around you, knowing that you can protect them and help them if needed. Firefighting g is a full-time job even when you’re off the clock. You are always being looked at and you always might need to step in and help someone. This is the main reason why this is a challenging job, it never…

    My RCS Capstone Experience challenged me by forcing me to speak infront of a large group of people, who have had more years of experience than I have. Also a physical challenge for I had to develope my upper body strength for the training I had to endure. Both of these things pushed me out of my confort zone, but in the long run I know they will be valuable skills for the future. I have been a volunteer at Jacobs Creek Fire Department for three years, but even with these years there is still always room for improvement. This topic is important to me because the people in my station are like family to me. I know even on my worst of days that they will always have your back.

    The class that each and every firefighter must attend and complete is a 36 hour class and training in order to become a card holder. Your training will never end once you get through your 36 hour training. There has been a new law that passes recently, where you have to have so many hours of training a year additional to be an active firefighter. If a firefighter fails to follow it, they must start everything all over again. You can never get enough training because there is never to fire the same. If any of the fire engines have air breaks you must go through a driving course, in order to be legal to drive the engine.…

    Firefighter Safety

    Training I feel is very lacking in the fire service today. I had more of what I call fire suppression training in my rookie school than I have had in the last seven years that I have been a firefighter. Now I’m not saying its wrong and that we should do away with it but we do a lot of life safety education today and not any fire suppression training. We do a lot of “table top” exercises and not a lot of actual “live burn” training. Our area is currently on water restrictions. So when citizens can’t water their lawns or wash their cars we can’t flow water and have “live burn” exercises. We don’t want to hear the citizens complain about us “wasting” water while they have a dirty car and their shrubs are dying.…

    From the tools we use to the tactics there has been drastic change in the fire service since its beginnings. Fire departments now work together regardless of units as back in the 1800’s. It’s no surprise why fire fighting is so effective in today's society especially when one takes a look at the past and history of firefighting. Regardless of what race, sex, or country a firefighter operates from every fireman and woman share the same history. Every firefighter mission is to save lives and that has been heart of firefighting since the beginning of its…

    Resilience Personal Statement

    I pick a word at the start of every new year and set it as my intention for the year. My intention for 2017 is resilience. This year, I took my intention a step further and rather than relying solely on my own thoughts and beliefs about resilience, I started to interview friends and family about how they see resilience in their own lives. As my understanding continues to take shape, I am reminded of moments of resilience in my own life. My interest in service learning has taken me from studying conflict resolution, social and political transformation and urban studies to the Jesuit Volunteer Corps and the University Ministry office at Detroit Mercy . I believe that my passion for building and nurturing sustaining relationships, strong commitment…
