Introduction to Firefighting 5/17/11

Journal:

Describe the steps in giving care for a person with an injured arm by appying a rigid splint, a sling, and a binder.

Objectives:

Today the Introduction Class used class time to prepare for "The Challenge."  "The Challenge" is a series of skills that the students have learned over the course of the year.  The students are timed in these skills and their times are ranked against not only the students in their class, but students in the entire program.  The students enjoy the competition, especially when a sophomore posts a better time than a junior or senior on an event.  The events include: PPE, SCBA, the maze, and team maze.  The final event of The Challenge is a 5 event individual challenge that includes a stair climb with a high rise pack, the maze, window entry and egress from a ground ladder, going through a constricted opening, and tool carry all while wearing full PPE with SCBA.
