The Flashover Chamber
About two weeks ago, I went on one of the best field trips I’ve ever been on. I went to Auburn Fire Station and their flashover chamber with the fire and rescue classes. Both the fire 1 and fire 2 classes went together. The entire experience was something that I never thought I would get to do, and I was very lucky to have the whole opportunity. Fire and rescue offers opportunities and experiences that some people will never experience, but this by far has been the best one so far. A flashover chamber, is basically just a large metal box with an upper and lower layer. Firefighters can go in and sit on the lower level, while another firefighter will light the upper layer on fire and you can experience what it would be like

One of the Auburn firefighters came in to tell us about the flashover chamber. But before we could go into the chamber, since it was a field trip, we had to review everything we had already learned about flashovers, backdrafts, and how they worked. We sat for about an hour in the classroom, and listened to a powerpoint about flashovers. We watched some videos, and answered some questions, then it was finally time to actually go outside and get ready to go into the chamber. We walked out to our gear and everyone geared up, except for our helmets. Because the chamber would get so hot, and our heads were going to be so close to the fire, we had to wear special helmets, that were provided by the Auburn fire station. The helmets were black from going through so many times, but they were still functional. We split up into two groups, and the first group went inside. I was in the second group, so I waited right outside with some other students. While I waited, I talked to Kaitlyn. We talked about how excited we were to go into the chamber, and also about how nervous we were. I could see smoke coming out of the top and sides of the chamber, which made me even more excited to go in. This would be or class’s first time actually experiencing real fire in the class. Once the first group came out, we all helped clean up the chamber, and got ready for round two. The second group got all of our …show more content…
We sat on very low seats made of wood. The fire was elevated above us from where we were sitting. The fire rolled right above our heads. It was awesome. After explaining what was happening, we switched where we were sitting, so that way everyone had a chance to get up front. The person in front got on the ground and crawled to the back of the line and the rest of us scooted to the front of the chamber. Once I was in front, it was super hot. They controlled the fire using the doors, and a hose. Opening the doors would cause the fire to grow because we were giving the fire more oxygen. Then when they closed the doors, the fire would die down. We rotated through everyone a few times, before they put the fire out. Once the fire was out, it was time for
The 16 and 14 year old boys who had killed a young 17 year old boy were supposenly hidding from the authoratises at the church and when they came back from having lunch they saw the fire and rushed to go save the children without thinking since they think that they had caused the fire in the first place and werent there to stop it.
The fire escape became more than an emergency exit in a burning building. It is used for everything from outdoor to dining to sleeping and gardening, opening up the home to the surrounding city like a “porch in the sky” or “private get-away”.
He was planning to try a different one when suddenly he smelled a pungent and disgusting odor. James reticently ran over to the area to see what the situation was when he saw a grayish tint of smoke coming from a microwave in the teacher’s lounge. James panicked and grabbed the fire extinguisher to quench the flames but to no avail. He sprinted to the fire alarm, and he pulled down the lever causing the siren to go off. James then ran back to his class to alert everyone about the fire, but as he arrived shouting, “Fire! Fire!”, everyone turned to stare at him in disbelief. “Do you honestly believe we are going to fall for that trick again?” Mr. Wood asked. “Well … this time is serious!” James stuttered. “I will deal with you later, and do me a favor by keeping yourself in the hall.” Mr. Wood replied. James knew he had pulled his pranks, but he didn't understand what he was going to do to make them believe him. James knew he wouldn't be able to convince them, so he darted down to the office to see if he could convince them. They to yelled at him stating what a mischievous child he was and began calling his mother. Before anyone realized about the fire, it had already spread into the hallway. Everyone evacuated safely, but to James disbelief half of the school was gone. He looked at all his classmate and apologized for being dishonest in the past. He understood why they didn't believe a liar, but he just wished he wasn't a liar in the first
Many people want to know how did the Chicago fire start, I believe the Chicago fire started with a lighted lantern knocked over by a cow. The fire started October eighth through October tenth 1871. The fire started at night. The fire broke out of control and spread quickly because all the buildings were made of wood. As soon as the fire started the firefighters came right away to try to put the fire out. The fire took a while to get put out, the fire fighters quit fighting the fire the day before, after two days the rain began to fall and the fire died out. It took the fire three days to die out.
Ward meetinghouses or ward houses are “churches” for LDS members residing in specific geographical areas. In early LDS history there would have been one ward house per town. However, as membership grew, the number of people attending a specific ward house was limited to 500. Most ward houses today are the spiritual home for about 250 people. Set by church leaders, ward boundaries allocate certain geographic areas of a city or region to a specific ward house. This method of geographic designation was influenced by the political practice of identifying voting districts in urban areas, hence the term “ward house.” Each ward is led by a volunteer bishop and two counselors with additional leaders assigned to various activities.
seemed like a fire. But the students who were sitting in groups of three did
Emily is left seriously burned after a science experiment at school went wrong. She left her hair out during an experiment and got too close to the Bunsen burner, which caused her to burn her hair and a portion of her face and scalp. The teacher was in a rush and didn’t explain the safety rules to the students. Emily put her face up to the Bunsen burner and her hair caught alight, partially burning her face. As the Bunsen burner wasn’t on the safety flame, the student received second degree burns to her left side of face.

Punctured steel tube suppliers work with a wide range of commercial ventures keeping in mind the end goal to address the issues of developing organizations.

The Destination that I attended was Camp Fury in Tucson, Arizona. Camp Fury is a camp for girls who are interested in becoming first responders. We had the privilege to spend the week with women first responders who were our instructors for the week. We had the opportunity to sample the work of firefighters, police officers, and paramedics. I attended this Destination at the beginning of the summer because I want to become a first responder and this camp was a great experience.
“They 're arguing for giving homework and tests to all young children, or separating them into winners and losers, because these tykes need to get used to such things -- as if exposure itself will inoculate them against the negative effects they would otherwise experience later. If we were interested in helping children to anticipate and deal with unpleasant experiences, it might make sense to discuss the details with them and perhaps guide them through role-playing exercises. But why would we subject kids to those experiences? After all, to teach children how to handle a fire emergency, we talk to them about the dangers of smoke inhalation and advise them where to go when the alarm sounds. We don 't actually set them on fire. But the key

At the end of the school year last year, a few of my friends and I decided that we wanted to go camping at Spring Lake. We signed up to do the “off the grid” camping so we could kayak to our camp site. The fun began when we were putting our kayaks into the lake with all of our gear in them and one of my friends fell into the lake. After that we knew we were going to have a fun and hysterical night. We then began our twenty minute kayak to our camping site. On the way there, we had many conversations and shared many laughs. When we arrived at the campsite we decided to split into two groups. Two of us would kayak back to our vehicles to get the rest of our stuff and the other two would stay and begin to set up the campsite. So, my friend Trenton
There are situations that impact your everyday life that’s when we call the “Firefighters”. Their lifestyle is risky, they serve the people. Firefighters truly deserve the respect and honor from the community, at the same time, this is a way of showing gratitude for their courage. The firefighter station that I visited was the fire department in San Fernando called “ Station 98”, and their agency is Los Angeles Fire Department, it has been around since 1886.
The second area that I talked to Mrs. Miskell about was security in the schools. She talked very in depth about the security procedures in her school. She told me about the formulated plan that the school enacted, where all visitors to the school have to stop into the main office and sign into a book and then they receive a special visitors badge, that they have to wear at all times while in the school. Another modification of this plan is that once all the children are into the school, all the doors are locked except the front door where the main office is located. If there is an emergency, the principal announces over the loudspeaker a special code that only the teachers know, so that the children don't panic. If the students hear fire, they are all going to split a different way and that would lead to mayhem, which is very dangerous in an emergency situation. There is a safety team at every school in the district, and one representative
