Safety tips posted by Company Safety Officer Robert Jenkins
Fire Company New Year’s Resolutions:
I will wear all my gear – my PPE – when I’m responding and working at a fire
I will not board the truck until I have my gear on
I will buckle up in the crew cab
I will drive safely when I’m responding to the firehouse for an alarm
If I’m an engineer I will drive safely when responding to an alarm
I will bring any unsafe conditions to the attention of the incident command officer
Even at the firehouse I will bring an unsafe condition to the attention of the ranking officer
I will keep my gloves on during overhaul to prevent injury
I will abide by the two-in two-out rule
Because I owe it to myself, my family and loved ones, I will work to keep myself in shape and physically fit.
Lose some weight – quit smoking.
If I’ve had too much to drink, I will not respond when the alarm sounds.
I will watch out for my brother and sister firefighters to keep them safe from harm
