At USFRA, we value the sacrifices men and women give every day in the service of our great country. Because of our genuine appreciation we have for our brave soldiers, we have decided to adopt a "Soldier of the Month." Each month we will choose a soldier who we want to recognize for his/her service in protecting our freedom. We will send these soldiers care packages that include non-perishable food items, personal care items, toys for children overseas, and other items that will help our heroes feel a little closer to home. These items we're donating are given from individual firefighters, police officers and civilians within our association, because we, as Patriotic Americans, do care. This is not a corporate effort and certainly not required of our members, but this is one way we, at USFRA, can show we really do "Support Our Troops."
If your group or organization would like to send care packages to our brave men and women overseas, please click on one of the banners below.

you could also have your first team make entry with a thermal imaging camera and do their search and if they find no one home then us the camera to find the heat source causing the smoke. the second team can advance the hand line to the door and stand by. Id also have the fiirst team in their search kill the power in the house incase it is electrical in nature. have the ladder crew start positive pressure ventilation in my opinion I would not vent the roof because we do not know what the cause of smoke is and would not want to cause more damage to the house if not necessary. Once the heat source is located then you'll know what you'll have to do to extinguish the fire.  |
