  Arizona Fire School resumes hands-on training Apr 09, 2021 3:38 PM | Wickenburg Sun Arizona Fire School will return in regular format this September. After being transitioned to online classes during the pandemic, in-person training is being brought back Sept. 9-12, 2021, for the benefit of firefighters from across Arizona. Basic firefighter skills, live fire training, vehicle stabilization, patient extrication, driving and many other skills required in a firefighter’s line of duty can only be mastered in a hands-on environment. For that reason, all the traditional course offerings are being planned during the 48th annual Arizona Fire School in Mesa. Opening ceremony will take place on Thursday, Sept. 9 at 8:30 a.m. at Mesa Convention Center. More than 32 courses are offered along with a platform for a “New Chiefs Seminar.” While the bulk of the classroom courses utilize Mesa Convention Center, fire chiefs from Chandler, Mesa, Scottsdale, Tempe and Phoenix allow the use of their tra

Worried that civilians were trapped inside, rescue teams initiated a rapid intervention; but, unfamiliar with the layout of the building, the smoke-filled warehouse became a labyrinth for those that entered. Unfortunately, the brave individuals that answered this call were unable to locate any exits before they ran out of air. We still remember them more than two decades later, and this incident—along with hundreds in the years since—served as the catalyst for groundbreaking new Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) tracking and location technology.  Precision Outdoor and Indoor Navigation and Tracking for Emergency Responders (POINTER)  will soon allow agencies to pinpoint their firefighters to within centimeters, helping to navigate them quickly and safely out of potentially di

Photos: FDNY Facebook The Fire Department of New York (FDNY) says a resident who left their door open when the deadly April 6 fire started, and the delay in calling 911 were major reasons why  an apartment building in Jackson Heights, Queens suffered major damage and displaced scores of people. In a statement posted on its Facebook account, the FDNY updated the situation April 7, afternoon. FDNY Commissioner Daniel A. Nigro speaking from the scene of the fire at 89-07 34th Avenue in Queens said, “It took the Department eight alarms and almost 12 hours to place the fire under control, working inside, outside, causing many injuries to our members and some injuries to civilians,” the FDNY said.   Read Full Article
