IAFF & PFFSCA Fundraiser 100% to Firefighter Muller’s Wife & Son

A few words from Battalion Chief Curt Isakson reflecting on the loss of Brother Michael Muller, Irmo South Carolina.

I keep thinking about how much this Brother Loved the Job!! I can hear it in his voice and see it in his eyes & body language. I so wish that our paths would’ve crossed. We need more of Jmichael Muller in the Fire 🔥 Service to spread the word in a way that he did and infect others.

I might not have personally met him, But I definitely know him in regards to the Brotherhood and Love for everything this Job is about. I will definitely not forget and 175 is Number that will be honored. It’s our Job to share his love with others and be positive.

Twice at the GSD and stayed positive. Aces all the way. We will band together and work towards training as many as possible in your honor, because that was obviously your mission.

Thanks Brother for Loving The Job!!

We are the Lucky 🍀 Ones.

This evening Chief Isakson received an official communication from Bryan Costello, Secretary, Professional Fire Fighters Association of South Carolina. Brother Costello indicated that the PFFASC and IAFF have established a joint fundraiser with 100% of the donations going directly to Firefighter Muller’s Wife and Son.

Brother Costello indicated in his email to notate your donation made through Venmo as a donation to Firefighter Muller.

For questions Brother Costello, Secretary, Professional Fire Fighters Association, of South Carolina can be reached at 9163009192.

The Professional Fire Fighters of SC Mourn the Tragic Loss of Firefighter James Michael Muller Irmo, SC – With profound sadness and a heavy heart, the Irmo Fire Department announces the line-of-duty death of Firefighter James Michael Muller. Firefighter Muller made the ultimate sacrifice while courageously battling a devastating 3-alarm fire in Columbia, SC.

Firefighter Muller, 25, a dedicated member of the Imo Fire Department and the International Association of Fire Fighters, fearlessly responded to the call of duty – just as he had done for the past seven years of his exemplary career. His selflessness and unwavering commitment to protecting the lives and property of others are a testament to his character and the values he held dear.

The Professional Fire Fighters Association of South Carolina and the IAFF stand in solidarity with the Irmo and Columbia Professional Fire Fighters during this time of profound grief and loss. The entire firefighting community extends its support and assistance to our brothers and sisters in Irmo and Columbia.

“For Brother Muller, being a fire fighter was a calling,” said Walter Dix, IAFF 12th District Vice President. “He took pride in the job and modeled the oath he took. I extend my deepest condolences to his family and friends.

“The heroic efforts of Firefighter Muller and the brave actions of his fellow firefighters saved three occupants from the house fire,” said Roger Odachowski, president of the PFFASC. “We will always remember Brother Muller’s sacrifice and the courage and dedication he embodied.”

Firefighter James Michael Muller will forever be remembered as a true hero, a role model, and a selfless individual who epitomized what it means to be a firefighter. His sacrifice will forever be etched in our hearts and minds as a reminder of the dangers firefighters risk to keep our communities safe.

Trash & Recycling Truck Civilian Entrapment Tips from Training & Safety

Earlier this week in Pensacola, Florida, a man who was sleeping in a dumpster became trapped in a garbage truck after the dumpster he was sleeping in was emptied into the truck’s hopper. Chief Isakson responded and commanded the technical rescue incident. This incident is the fourth such incident he has responded too over the course of his career at Escambia County Fire Rescue.
GARBAGE TRUCK ENTRAPMENT FROM EARLIER THIS WEEK

These incidents of people sleeping in trash bins and becoming entrapped in vehicles are more common than most realize. Also vehicle operators can become entrapped. Of his four past incidents one involved the driver of a recycling truck climb up on top to find the compactor was jammed. The driver had not locked out the vehicle hydraulic controls. Upon trying to dislodge the cardboard his lower extremities were crushed and trapped. 

RECYCLING TRUCK ENTRAPMENT
GARBAGE TRUCK ENTRAPMENT

In recent years, there have been several similar incidents of people being trapped inside garbage trucks around the country. Today Chief Frank Leeb, FDNY Deputy Assistant Chief released a Tips from Training & Safety bulletin based on the significance of the incident, the national media blitz, and firefighters from across the United States reaching out and sharing similar incidents.

Special thanks to Chief Frank Leeb for his leadership in producing and sharing the information for firefighter to learn within his organization, and nationwide. Firefighters must be alert and learn about incidents from beyond their geographic borders. We should always be learning and sharing regardless of the size of the fire department where we are employed in both career of volunteer agencies. This best prepares you when this type of incident then becomes your own. We are all in this together.

LEARNING TIPS FROM CHIEF ISAKSON

Chief Isakson offers the following learning points based on his four previous responses to this type of incident, most critical is the need for a continuous size up and an objective evaluation of progress. An After Action Review is critically important. Chief Isakson reports learning points on each incident and always reflects on things he wished were done different.

  • Remember that the trash in a dumpster has a higher probability of being more hazardous than a residential trash can.
  • From a life safety perspective, these incidents require early Advanced Life Support intervention. Also consider early notification to your closest Trauma Center Surgeon in case a field amputation could become necessary.
  • Lock Out Tag Out of Vehicle Controls and Mechanical Hydraulic System Controls. Lock Out Tag Out of every possible caution is recommended. Trash Truck Mechanic Notification and Scene Response Request.
  • Recognize the need for asynchronous coordination of Rescue Extrication with Patient Care. The most recent incident earlier this week required ALS care while performing an extensive extrication, coupled with letting hydraulic fluid slowly drain to control the release rate of the hydraulics crushing the patients lower extremities.
  • Significant extrication, utilizing almost every possible tool. Tools beyond a normal set of hydraulic rescue tools utilized during auto extrication. Use of multiple hydra rams working together to obtain purchase points with wedges.
  • Utilization of Aerial Ladder, Tower Ladder, and Ground Ladders. Tower Ladder is the preferred method. The most recent incident utilized an Aerial Ladder and but a Tower Ladder would have been beneficial.
  • Ground ladders are essential, and we have found that numerous ladders on both sides, butted up against each other is helpful. Ladders placed across the top of the vehicle to create a platform may be required depending on tool staging.
FDNY LEARNING TIPS FROM
TRAINING & SAFETY BULLETIN
  • The majority of these incidents have involved front loading garbage trucks (see schematic above right); however, these incidents can also happen in rear and side loading trucks.
  • The operator of the garbage truck may have advanced knowledge of the workings of the truck and may be able to provide a solution to removing the victim.
  • A tower ladder bucket should be positioned above the truck to serve as a high point anchor. Additional units should keep the area around the truck clear. SOC units will need to be positioned close to the garbage truck for access to specialized equipment.
  • It may be necessary to place portable ladders against the truck for top access.
  • Ensure lock out, tag procedures are in place to ensure hydraulics are secure and the vehicle cannot start. This could be as simple as removing the ignition keys and/or positioning a firefighter near controls. Lock out, tag out is a safety procedure used to ensure that dangerous equipment is properly shut off and not able to be started up again prior to the completion of FD operations.
  • Hydraulic lines that are under a tremendous amount of pressure and hydraulic fluid is flammable. Extreme caution must be used when working around these lines. If cutting torches are used, a handline must be stretched and charged to protect members.
  • Ensure the response of a Rescue Medic to provide treatment for Crush Syndrome

AGGRESSIVE COMMAND

Chief Mo Davis, District Chief 68, City of Houston Texas Fire Department.

The rapidly changing environment on a fire scene requires strong, proactive, and aggressive decision makers. This is true for the Incident Commander as well. The incident commander sets the pace and leads to successful outcomes. Aggressive firefighters deserve to have an equally aggressive incident commander.

The incident commander needs to be well trained, actively involved in the incident and a strong since of situational awareness. Good incident commanders know their crews, trains their crews to a specific level, and supports their assignments by not micromanaging them. Aggressive commanders read the current situation, rapidly develops an incident action plan, and makes critical assignments to fix whatever problem persists.

This class discusses situation awareness, letting crews complete necessary assignments without being micromanaged and having the training and nerves to give dangerous assignments with built in back up procedures. The class is good for all levels of training from firefighter, company officer, and the incident commander.

MANAGING THE MAYDAY

Chief Mo Davis, District Chief 68, City of Houston Texas Fire Department.

The lost, trapped, or injured firefighter situation is very difficult and very stressful to manage.    Like anything else on the fireground, the mayday requires strong leadership, immediate decision making and the ability to adapt to the changing events.  The “naturalist leader” is a must.

How does one become a naturalist leader during a mayday?  Constant preparation, and training.  This class discusses the importance of proper training, strong leadership, and the ability to adapt.

PREVENTING THE MAYDAY ON THE AGGRESSIVE FIREGROUND: STAYING OUT OF TROUBLE WHEN WE'RE DOING IT RIGHT.

Chief Clyde Gordon, District Chief 8, City of Houston Texas Fire Department.

This class is an in-depth look at tactics and mindset that allow firefighters to work aggressively on the fire ground without getting into trouble. It teaches the clues that allow the firefighter to make good decisions and recognize conditions and warning signs that could lead to a mayday situation and provides tactics that work in the urban and suburban areas to maximize the manpower available and place the fire victim first.

Today's fireground requires tactics that take modern fire behavior, building construction, and response models into consideration. We must use the UL studies, Firefighter Rescue Survey results, and civilian fire fatalities data to better deploy our local fire resources to meet life safety and property loss priorities. When smoke detectors fail, the fire service cannot fail, because we are the last line of defense. This class will provide approaches to getting the annual civilian fire fatality numbers consistently below 2,000 a year by showing you how to use data to assist us in adjusting our fireground assignments in the first five to seven minutes to remove trapped occupants sooner while still using decades of proven fireground tactics that work.

Chief Curt Isakson will open up at 8:00a on Tuesday August 22nd with The Foundation of Success, How Failure Brings the Ultimate Success that Lasts.

Nozzlemanship: Interior Nozzle Operations

This class will pass on some of the most critical skills and lessons needed to be an effective nozzle firefighter. Topics include:

  • The nozzle mindset.
  • Flowing and moving.
  • Base fire extinguishment.
  • Proper nozzle grip.
  • Dealing with fire behind you.
  • Large area nozzle movement.
  • Moving in.
  • Stream reach vs. nozzle reach.
  • Sweeping the floor.
  • Multiroom attack.
  • Void control.

After taking this class, you will have a 360-degree view of what a well-developed nozzle firefighter needs to know and do on today's fireground.

In this class, you will learn all about stretching hose and drilling techniques essential to Engine Companies' success in urban and suburban environments. The program covers topics such as the line choice of the first due engine, leader lines, hose bundles, flat load deployment off the transverse, and 2 1/2 deployment for blitzing. After completing the class, you will have a better and more detailed understanding of these crucial concepts.

FINDINGS & TACTICAL CONSIDERATIONS UL FSRI RESIDENTIAL SEARCH STUDY

Keith Stakes, Research Engineer, UL Fire Safety Research Institute & Battalion Chief, Bethesda-Chevy Chase Rescue Squad.

This class will review findings and tactical considerations from the Fire Service Residential Home Size-up, Search & Rescue Operations study conducted by UL Fire Safety Research Institute (FSRI). The FSRI team conducted a total of 21 full-scale fire experiments including 11 bedrooms, eight kitchens and two living rooms. Across this series of experiments, the impact of isolation of fire and non-fire compartments, the timing of search actions relative to suppression actions, and the influence of isolation, elevation and path of travel during rescue were examined with respect to firefighter safety and occupant tenability.

The GRAB ANALYSIS program highlights four civilian rescues captured on video, including the tactics and strategies used in each rescue. "MAKING THE GRAB" success depends on the firehouse culture, purpose, preparation, and execution. This class further dives into first-hand accounts of civilian rescues for you to apply lessons learned in urban, suburban, and rural environments. The instructor, Battalion Chief DJ Stone was directly involved in two of the rescues featured in the program.
