PET FIRE SAFETY

fheumann — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 22:15:30 +0000

PET FIRE SAFETY DAY IS JULY 15

An estimated 500,000 pets are affected annually by home fires. New data from the National Fire Protection Association shows that nearly 1,000 house fires each year are accidentally started by the homeowners’ pets. Investing in flameless candles and removing stove knobs when leaving the house are just a few things you can do to keep your four-legged friends, and your home, safe. The Park City Fire District encourages you to pet-proof your home – take a walk around your home and look for areas where pets might start fires inadvertently, such as loose wires and other potential hazards. For more information, call the Park City Fire District at 435-940-2500.

This vehicle enhances the District’s capabilities for rescues and elevated water streams on multiple story structure fires. It has a 300 gallon tank for quick fire attack and is fully functional as a pumper. The ladder has a 500 pound rated tip and can be extended up to ten degrees below grade for off-the-road rescues. Training for the new “Truck 36” has just been completed. It will be housed at the Canyons Fire Station, 1977 Canyons Resort Drive.

Underground Parking Training Exercise

fheumann — Sat, 22 May 2010 21:36:57 +0000

The monthly training topic for May emphasized a very real threat to life and safety in Park City, vehicle fires in large underground parking structures. The Chateaux at Silver Lake allowed us to use the bottom level of their garage, three stories below ground! All lighting was shut off and artificial smoke was created to simulate “black out” conditions. Crews had to decide what tools and equipment to bring with them from the street level and had to select an appropriate method of radio communication, since standard channels do not work underground. After taking the stairs to lower levels, the crews actually connected to the Chateaux’s water supply in the stairwell, extended a fully charged hose into the darkened garage, and found a simulated burning vehicle (actually a large space heater next to a car) with a thermal imaging camera. The training and experience gained by our firefighters through this operation was very valuable and will allow us to better serve in the future. Special thanks to the staff at the Chateaux and Stein Erickson Lodge for the accommodations and cooperation which was essential to a successful training scenario.
