Fire Ops 101 exposes participants to the smoke, adrenaline rush, and physical stress firefighters and emergency medical personnel routinely face.
as a way to teach lawmakers and policy decision-makers what a day in the life of a firefighter is like and the needs departments are facing.
We started the day with leaders fron the Ohio Fire Chief’s Association and the State Fire Marshal’s office explaining some of the issues facing departments: the need for updated equipment, mental health treatment for PTSD and training to best respond to any emergency. Firefighters and EMTs respond to many car accidents. Instructors from the State Fire Academy taught us how to use the extrication tools, including the jaws of life, to rip a car open to rescue people inside. I had no idea how heavy the tools were. It was amazing watching the tools spread apart steel so quickly.
Instructors taught us about the different types of trucks. We got a chance to climb up the ladder to the top of a building. We also were able ride in a bucket and got a bird’s eye view of the campus.
