Describe Picture
This picture shows the big fire which is strong and spread quickly at petrol station in Viet Nam. The force firefighter with many firemen who are working very hard in an effort to control the fire. They are wearing dark-blue clothes, red helmets and whitish face mash without gloves, goggles and oxygen tank. In the left of picture, one firefighter is running and holding his helmet beacause he is afraid of that it is out of his head. Maybe his helmet which is very important to a fireman, is bad or too loosen. Moreover, force army is also jointing with firefighting together. In the right of picture, solider man in green uniform of army is trying to escape from the fire. His clothes and boots are burned up so He is very scared. He does not equip not personal protect as helmet, gloves, face mash, etc. I think he will be seriously injured. Near the gas station, some firemen are quite calm. They don’t attend to the fire. Nobody holds fire hose or fire extinguisher. To my mind, this picture describe real situation of force firefighter in Vietnam. They use the old equipment which quality are very low. In addition, fireman is equipped fully good personal tools and trained knowdge and good skill. The fireman who is running and holding his helmet in the picture above, proves a part of my opinion. The blaze is pretty dangerous to all of us. It destroys not only economic but also people. The nearest blaze happens at a petrol station in Tran Hung Dao street. In this one, ten firemen, 2 employees and one resident were injured. Losses is estimated at nearly 13 billion VND. If petrol station had built in rule and force firefighter had been better, they will suffer that. I hope that awareness of everyone in fire prevention will be improved

    This paper explores the different aspects in living a firefighter’s life. The topics that will be covered are the various types of technology when being a fireman, the different tactics you see on a day to day basis, the physical abilities one must be capable of, and the types of equipment used. The technology used today to help fight fires is extremely progressed and different than it was even just ten years ago. If it were not for these new inventions, communication would not be as easy and complex for any fire station. Firemen face different obstacles every day and have to be ready to jump right in with whatever the circumstance may be. Tactics such as how to use ventilation tools, the proper way to handle forest fires, and the basic prevention techniques to stay as safe and efficient as possible. Becoming a fireman is not cut out for someone who is not athletically gifted. It takes a strong person; both mentally and physically, do complete the drills that one must see every day. The equipment alone is all extremely heavy and powerful. There are many things that most people are unaware of when it comes to the basic characteristics of being a firefighter.…

    4. The most startling fact is that children under the age of 5 account for nearly 40% of all fire-related deaths, a rate that is more than double that for any other age group (Hall, 2000). Millions of dollars are spent each year to treat burn victims, and while many are severely disfigured physically, no amount of money can compensate for the emotional and mental trauma experienced. (Garrison, 2002)…

    Arson is a serious problem in the United States, being the number one cause of all fires, the number two cause of fire death and the cause of over one billion dollars of damage every year. Webster defines arson as “ The crime of maliciously burning somebody else’s building or property or of burning one’s own to get insurance money.” Arson is thought of as an insurance concern, an invisible “paper lose” by the general populace, but for the firefighters who have been injured or killed responding to set fires and the hundreds of civilians killed each year in incendiary or suspicious building fires, arson looms as a significant issue that is anything but invisible.…
