This clip was sent to PSEN by a freind. It demonstrates the hazard of electrical emergency response. We are not sure if the utility worker in this clip was hurt or exactly what was being used as an extinguishing agent. The clip has not been altered by us in any way and the 20 second commercial is not an affiliate of PSEN. There is always a chance that the extra ordinary circumstance can occur and a firefighter is hurt, seriously injured or killed dealing with incidents involving energized electrical emergencies. National Grid had published a great refresher series on responder safety and electrical emergenices. We have featured this in the past. It is a great reveiw for any PSEN viewer and it is a great opportunity for those new to PSEN.
Over the last twelve months we have had the good fortune to work with the National Fallen Firefigthers Foundation managing the Courage To Be Safe, So Everyone Goes Home camapign. Part of our work includes the design and deployment of 24 online media learning segments based on the 16 Firefighter Life Safety Initiatives. Having featured a variety of the media segments on PSEN it is my pleasure to introduce you to three more that you may not have seen. These have been viewed by 98,205 of our everyonegoeshome.com viewers already. Have you seen them? Come on PSEN viewers take a look and use them as training sessions for your companies today!
Career Captain Dies and the Driver/Operator and a Fire Fighter are Severely Injured in Apparatus Crash - Louisiana On December 2, 2005, a male career Captain (the victim) died, and a male driver/operator and a male fire fighter suffered severe injuries when their apparatus struck a passenger van at a four-way intersection, left the road and overturned 1¼ times. The crew was responding Code 3 (lights and sirens) to a reported gas leak when the incident occurred. The permanent stop lights had been replaced by temporary traffic control stop signs at the intersection as a result of an extended power outage caused by Hurricane Katrina.
On January 26, 2007, a 24-year-old male volunteer fire fighter died at a residential structure fire after falling through the floor which was supported by engineered wooden I-beams. The victim’s crew had advanced a handline approximately 20 feet into the structure with zero visibility. They requested ventilation and a thermal imaging camera (TIC) in an attempt to locate and extinguish the fire. The victim exited the structure to retrieve the TIC, and when he returned the floor was spongy as conditions worsened which forced the crew to exit. The victim requested the nozzle and proceeded back into the structure within an arm’s distance of one of his crew members who provided back up while he stood in the doorway. Without warning, the floor collapsed sending the victim into the basement. Crews attempted to rescue the victim from the fully involved basement, but a subsequent collapse of the main floor ceased any rescue attempts. The victim was recovered later that morning.

We have found a growing interest in fire simulations. Part of the successful development of any organization is open dialogue across all ranks. What better way to develop an open dialogue than talking about fighting fires. Our simulations are simple in design but powerful in net worth. A simple google satellite image merged with PSEN fire simulator graphics and drag and drop resources is where we begin. Your team helps decide apparatus placement. Add ground level images of the same location with fire generated from a ground perspectives. Now you can incorporate team discussions relative to placement, strategy and tactics. Finally take the company to the actual location to pre-fire plan as well as establish your action plan Watch the complete refresher ... Click Here Drag and Drop Table Top Fire Simulation

Volunteer Fire Fighter Dies After Falling Through Floor Supported by Engineered Wooden-I Beams at Residential Structure Fire - Tennessee
In the old days there were more fires. That meant more firefighters developed skills based on working fires. Today we experience less fires, we work with less personnel and we are expected to be "the expert". We can not become experts the old fashion way BUT we can use our expertise in conjunction with technology to create interactive fire simulations. This is just one example of a simple fire simulation. You can drag and drop hydrants where they may actually go, you can drag and drop your resources into positions based on a tentative strategy and you can have each member of your crew modify the plan by repositioning the resources into different locations and explaining why. This has the potential to convert bland one dimensional talking into two dimensional visual training followed by three dimensional on site pre fire planning.
