Unit Lesson
Personnel
In order for a fire department to be capable of operating, there is a need for
personnel, human bodies. Personnel are found at all levels and ranks: entry
level firefighter, EMT/Paramedic, veteran firefighter, lieutenant, captain, deputy
chief, and chief to name a few. Without personnel, the fire department is little
more than a station with trucks. Personnel are responsible for the achievement
of objectives, and the first objective of any incident is to “provide for responder
and public safety.”
16 Firefighter Life Safety Initiatives
In March of 2004, the first ever National Fire Fighter Life Safety Summit took
place in Tampa, Florida, and was attended by over 200 fire service professional
who hammered out a doctrine known as the “16 Firefighter Life Safety
Initiatives.” The details of each initiative are found on pages 465 and 466. As a
result of this summit, a web site was created titled “Everyone Goes Home”
where invaluable insights and information regarding firefighter safety can be
found.
In addition, two other web sites are dedicated to firefighter safety: Firefighter
Close Calls and National Fallen Fire Fighter Foundation. The web links for both
are given below. Soon after the passage and adoption of the 16 initiatives, the
list was circulated around the nation and world in an attempt to reduce firefighter
injuries and deaths. Responsibility for supporting, practicing, and promoting the
initiatives rests with each and every firefighter and fire officer worldwide.
Rapid Intervention Teams (RITs)
Rapid intervention teams, or rapid intervention crews (RIC), are an integral and
essential component of the 21st century fire service, however many individual fire
departments do not have RITs/RICs. Members of these teams have undergone
specific training in rapid rescue of fellow crew members who may become lost or
disoriented while performing interior firefighting. Some departments claim cost
prevents them from having RITs/RICs, while others claim lack of personnel on
first-in crews. The solution is both money and personnel; however, economic
conditions often do not permit one or both.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2. A fireman is charged with duties ranging from saving lives to keeping firefighting equipment clean. At a moment's notice, a fireman must be
ready to perform job functions such as rescuing people or animals from burning or collapsed buildings, fighting fires and providing emergency
medical assistance.
Firemen also work with police, providing general assistance at accident and crime scenes. Firemen who aid in controlling and extinguishing
forest fires sometimes parachute into areas vehicles can't reach and assist in creating and maintaining fire lines. Other common duties include:
Carrying hoses
Climbing ladders
Hooking hoses up to hydrants
Breaking through walls
Protecting those in danger due to a fire
Ensuring integrity of the property
3. Responsibilities
Firemen are also responsible for maintaining their jobs skills and equipment when not responding to emergencies. They must
engage in practice drills and ongoing training in areas of fire prevention and control, as well as the preservation of life and
property. These responsibilities and more are required during time at the station when firemen are not actively engaged in
firefighting at a hazardous site.
Firemen are also expected to know and frequently train and rehearse for situations in which they save lives, property and the
environment. Cleaning the fire truck, hoses and all other firefighting equipment is also part of a fireman's recurring responsibilities
while awaiting emergency calls.
Firemen prepare for their careers through specific training programs. Most often, this training is accomplished through on-the-job
training and drills, although they may also need EMT training and certification. A fireman's responsibilities extend beyond fighting
fires; they are also responsible for controlling the risk to people and properties, saving lives, and carrying heavy equipment.

10. How to avoid fireProperties worth millions of naira are destroyed by fire daily in Nigeria and lives are lost.
Many go unreported. But do we give a thought to what causes fire in homes, offices, shops or
our surroundings and how best to avoid them?
The Operational Commander for Federal Fire service, Ime Eyo, outlines 10 ways to avoid fire.
Always put off appliances when not in use
For those who go to work, put off all appliances at home to avoid voltage surge that may follow
when power is restored after an outage. The same applies for the office when leaving.
Do not overload electrical sockets
Avoid overloading electrical sockets/outlets to prevent sparks that may lead to fire.
Do not smoke at bed time
This is for smokers. After a late night party or stressful day, it may be tempting to have stick
just before bed. With the possibility of dozing off, there is a tendency to toss the butt anywhere
while it has half-lit. If that lands on the rug or mattress, the consequences can only be
imagined.
11. Do not use phones in the kitchen
In this era of phone and social media, many people go into the kitchen with their phones. The
temptations are many. For one, an incoming call may provide a distraction too costly. A story
is told of a lady who received a call as she attempted to light the gas. While speaking on the
phone, she forgot the cooker had been switched on. With a strike of the match, flames
engulfed the whole building.
Fuel your generator before, not during a football match
With the recent league that has just begun, many football fans will be watching many matches.
For one, PHCN cannot be trusted. Any plans for a backup should factor in sufficiently fuelling
the generator. Doing so while the generator is on may be dangerous.
All generators should be kept in an open space for cross-ventilation and not in an enclosed
environment.
12. Put off phones while in the filling stations
This is common amongst car owners. Receiving calls and
making them in a highly inflammable environment like a
petrol station is risky as mobile phones are emitters of
small amount of charges that could explode in contact
with petrol.
Do not be an emergency engineer or electrician
Avoid fixing electrical faults personally when you
apparently do not have the skill. Violating the basic rule of
aligning like charges can lead to a spark which may result
in fire.
Get a Thunder Arrestor
Thunder storm delivers a huge amount of electrical
charge. The work of a Thunder Arrestor is to safely lead
this current away from the building to the earth to avoid
fire. Get one.
Keep the candle on a candle stand
We put candles and leave them beside curtains or clothes
or even on tables made from wood. The candle may fall off
or a nearby object may get burned
