Lawrence firefighter Donald Knight is lowered to the ground during a Kansas Fire School exercise.
Fire school simulates danger
Safety priority stems from number of training deaths each year
By Debbie Myers
Kansan staff writer
TOPEKA — The firefighter straddled the fourth-story window as he glided down the side of the five-story, concrete building. A rope from above connected him to an injured person in a basket.
His co-workers above gradually released the rope until the two were on the ground.
The scene was not an emergency,
and the person in the basket actually
was not injured; he was another
one that were brushing up on rescue techniques.
More than 705 Kansas firefighters attended the 61st annual Kansas fire school in Topeka from Thursday through yesterday. It was the largest turnout ever for the event, said Gary Burger, fire service training coordinator.
Wilson said safety was the highest priority at this year's session. Of 120 to 136 firefighter deaths in the United States, only one occurred during training exercises.
"Training, we say, builds skills and builds confidence, but at the same time we're getting people killed," Wilson said.
He said that in recent years about one Kansas firefighter had died each year in the line of duty.
Wilson said the students in the fire school could participate in one or two of about 34 courses offered during the weekend, including hazardous material awareness,rench rescue,gas extinguishing and arson detection.
Most of the courses are a combination of lecture and hands-on training. Wilson said. Firefighters are taught the proper way to handle a situation in a controlled environment so they know what to do in an emergency.
"The firefighters themselves are active people, so usually the courses that have the practical applications are the most popular ones requested." Wilson said "Unit they learned in our training haven't learned what they need to."
Rod Neufeld, high-tower rescue instructor from the Hutchinson Fire Department, said people who were seriously injured in tall buildings such as grain elevators or oil derricks were rescued by using a long basket.
The basket and one firefighter to attend the injured person are lowered with a main line but also are connected to a safety line in case the main rope should break. Neufeld said.
He said communication between
firefighters was important in a high tower rescue.
Dave Sterbenz, vehicle extrication instructor, said organization was one of the most important aspects of a life-saving operation involving the knee, such as the laws of Life, a two-program device used to pry open car doors.
He said that in an emergency, the tools were retrieved in a certain order to maximize efficiency.
Sterbenz, who also is a training officer with the Topeka Fire Department, said he taught the "golden hour philosophy" in vehicle extrication, in which firefighters attempt to transport the person who has to be in danger. He said a hospital emergency room within one hour of the time of the accident.
Jerry Hallbauer, underwater rescue instructor from the Chanute Fire Department, said it was important for firefighters to know how they would react to different types of water conditions, such as low visiblity and cold temperatures, to be properly trained for an underwater trainee.
"The main thing we stress during the course is being able to help your own limitations, you'll be better able to help other people."
