Presented by Bob Colameta and Danny McDonough
Break-Out 2: NIOSH Investigations, Procedures, and Recommendations to Prevent Vehicle Related Line-of-Duty Deaths and Injuries - J Building, Room 260
This presentation will include an overview of the traumatic injury component of the NIOSH Fire Fighter Fatality Investigation and Prevention Program. The session will emphasize investigative findings pertaining to motor vehicle related line of duty deaths and discuss how NIOSH reports and recommendations can be utilized to advance fire fighter safety.
Presented by Virginia Lutz
Break-Out 3: Serious Gaming for Incident Management & First Responder Training - M Building, Room 202
Serious Games focus on uses for games for non-entertainment purposes, and are intended to provide an engaging, self-reinforcing context in which to motivate and educate the players. This session will cover these technologies and include a live demonstration and discussion of one such "massively multi-player" serious game under development for the I-95 Corridor Coalition by the University of Maryland's Center for Advanced Transportation Technology Laboratory. The system will be used for training first responders to better deal with a wide array of incident scenarios in a realistic and engaging, yet cost effective manner. (Limited to 25 attendees)
Presented by Michael Pak, Director of CATT Lab - University of Maryland
Break-Out 4: IAFC "NEW" Rules of Engagement for Firefighter Safety and Risk Management, Best Practices - K Building, Room 302
The law enforcement and military communities long ago developed rules of engagement regarding the use of deadly force and have proven to be highly successful. It is believed that a similar concept for the fire service would prevent firefighter fatalities. For the past two years the IAFC's Safety, Health and Safety Section has been developing a set of Rules of Engagement for Firefighting that will be offered to the fire service as model procedures. This class will present the latest draft as they approach approval at the FRI conference in Chicago in August 2010.
Presented by Gary Morris - Chairman, IAFC ROG Task Force
Break-Out 5: Fire Behavior and Wind Driven Fires - J Building, Room 264
Wind speeds as low as 10 mph can turn a routine room and contents fire into a floor to ceiling fire storm. This is particularly catastrophic in high rises and similar buildings where the fire must be fought from the interior of the structure. NIST, in conjunction with the Chicago Fire Department, the Fire Department of New York City, the Fire Protection Research Foundation, NYU Polytechnic Institute and the U.S. Fire Administration, has completed a study on wind driven fires. The study consisted of live fire experiments, in both the NIST Large Fire Laboratory and high rise structures, in an effort to better understand this phenomenon and to develop strategies and tactics that will enable firefighters to survive and fight fires under wind driven conditions. Tactics examined included the use of positive pressure ventilation (PPV), wind control devices (WCD) and external hose streams. Through the use of videos and data, this presentation will show how wind can impact the thermal environment within a structure. Wind driven LODDs and strategies for surviving a wind driven fire structure fire will be discussed. Many of the lessons learned from this study have application to all residential structure fires. Significant support for this project was provided by the DHS/FEMA Assistance to Firefighters Grant Program
Presented by Dan Madrzykowski, NIST
