Technological Development in Fire Department

Introduction

The work of the fire department has always been called one of the most dangerous professions in modern society. Today, fire department has to deal with fewer fires than ever before. This is partly due to the smoke alarm system for early detection and suppression systems such as sprinklers for buildings. However, the fire, which they must fight off at much higher temperatures, releases more toxic and flammable gases, faster spread - all this is partly a consequence of the use of modern high-tech society, and plastics (Bernard, 2007).

Fire department also had to cope with the growing workload and the number of calls, since they provide the public with an increasing number of services. Many fire departments across the country today calls themselves the fire and rescue services, providing emergency medical assistance on call and performing salvage operations with the use of technical means in closed spaces, in the presence of hazardous materials in the pits and trenches, as well as operations on the surface with a steep slant. From the perspective, of this Fire outermost layer is the most important - it must withstand the high temperatures in ambient light and heat, and thus to resist impact and abrasion broken glass and sharp objects. When the individual fire departments are going to buy military clothing, they are looking for options with a strong and durable outer shell, which has resistance to water (Hall, 1998).

Today, "Fire Technology" has a modern manufacturing base and has sufficient, qualified personnel and manufacturing capabilities, providing a guarantee of high quality in the performance of large volumes of work (proof of this are we obtained certificates and licenses).

Fire departments have acquired new equipment that will enable it to act consistently and safely when firefighters can be called to rescue at height or when they have to work in hazardous materials. If you need to perform a reliable and durable, fire protection for your facility, fire fighters are there to help. These acquisitions represent excellent news because it is critical to their development. The new equipment will greatly facilitate the work of Fire departments in this intervention.

Technological Advancements

In recent years, United States of America can be seen high growth rates of construction. Increased development of the chemical, oil and gas industries, increase the number of storey and the area of industrial and residential buildings, the saturation of communications significantly increase fire hazard buildings under construction. In this regard, have been steadily increasing role of fire protection and the need to increase the level of modern technology, used in fire fighting (Thomson, 2004).

Firefighter's Cuff

New technologies offer some solutions to improve the cuff. First, the protective material for the wrists can be still made of Nomex, and some manufacturers offer their stretched limousines with a cut thumb. This allows applying wrist guards to prevent injury and mitt from any liquids. Not all firefighters like this solution because they feel in their hands too much of the bulk material ...
