PEARLAND FIRE SAFETY WEEK
June 19 - 25
The Pearland Fire Department will participate in the 2011 Fire/EMS Safety, Health and Survival Week (Safety Week) June 19 - 25. This annual event is sponsored by the International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC) and the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF). Fire departments across the U.S. and Canada use this event to promote messages and resources relating to improved firefighter safety and health; and enhanced emergency and long-term survival information to the public.
“We are looking forward to participating in Safety Week,” said Pearland Fire Chief Vance Riley. “Increased awareness/safety and training can only further benefit both firefighters and the citizens that we serve. We are committed to ensuring that our personnel are both professional and safe.”
This year’s Safety Week theme is Surviving the Fire Ground: Fire Fighter, Fire Officer & Command Preparedness, which encourages all fire/EMS personnel to focus on survival training and education. “It is critical for fire fighters to focus on their own survival when managing an emergency incident”, said Riley. “There is no other call more challenging to fire ground operations than a ‘mayday’ call - the unthinkable moment when a fire fighter’s personal safety is in imminent danger. Fire-fighter fatality data compiled by the United States Fire Administration has shown that fire fighters ‘becoming trapped and disoriented represent the largest portion of structural fire ground fatalities.’ The Pearland Fire Department is committed to safety for our personnel. “
