Your Mayday–Use It or Lose it

David Destefano的文章和照片

Virtually every fire department regardless of size has a政策或准则to facilitate the transmittal and response to a五月天的电话。因为梅德are low-frequency incidents, many of these well-intentioned policies were last reviewed or practiced on the day they were issued. By virtue of the劳动节作为一个高影响力的火灾事件,我们应归功于我们自己,我们的家人和我们的消防员,以进行五月天的透射和反应我们最敏锐的火场演变。作为消防员,我们定期培训Fireground策略和战术的各个方面,emergency medical services (EMS),,,,technical rescue,,,,危险品,,,,and a wide variety of other important topics. However, simple regular训练在您部门的五月天政策中,可能是您可以进行的最重要的进化。

每个成员必须了解Fireground Mayday的应用和格式。尽管每个司法管辖区都可能会细微,但基本结构在整个消防服务中普遍转化。五月天的传输是仅用于消防员的遇险电话。它可能是为一个成员或一组消防员传输的。在许多情况下,五月天的传输是合适的。它们包括(但不限于)以下内容:

  • 迷路/被困的消防员
  • 远离出口的空气遥控
  • Disorientation
  • 被火灾条件不知所措,没有清晰的出口路径
  • Medical emergency

A basic indicator is that if you think you may be in trouble, you probably are in trouble and should initiate a Mayday.

Although each organization may have slight differences in the verbiage of the message, the end result should be immediate acknowledgement of and fireground response to aid a firefighter(s) in distress.

Keeping the Mayday policy instructions and constant location awareness at the forefront of our thoughts will enable firefighters to transmit more detailed and accurate information, ultimately increasing their chances of being rescued by a RIT team or other members operating on the fireground.

除单位指定外,一些最重要的基本信息还包括以下内容:

  • Specific situation: Trapped by debris from collapse, disoriented, medical emergency, etc.
  • Location: National Incident Management Systems terminology is great, but if common language will guide people to your rescue more effectively, use it instead.
  • 条件:快速评估并描述您的身体状况和周围环境,并在报告中使用它们。
  • Air supply remaining
  • 所需的资源:如果您知道需要特定的设备或资源来实现您的救援或确保您的安全,请让事件指挥官知道。

有几种简单有效的方法来维护或升级消防员五月天的技能。让每个成员思考五月天格式的一种方法和良好报告所需的信息是将实践纳入日常工作。在进行常规检查或从EMS或其他答复中拾取时,公司官员可以阻止公司的成员,并给出必须使用五月天的情况。成员需要快速将信息与其位置的准确报告相结合为五月天消息格式。这可以在辅助广播频道(通过通信办公室事先批准)上传输,也可以大声说出来。通过采用这种方法,消防员将开发获取五月天所需信息并将其组织到五月天传播的背景的技能。他们还将不断监视其在结构中的位置,因此可以给出准确的位置。

另一个系统,应经常检查the portable radio emergency or “panic” button feature on many radios. Each radio transmits an identifier that may correspond to an individual member, unit, or riding position. It is important to verify that radios are correctly assigned and functioning properly and that the communications office is aware of the proper steps to take during an activation of this feature. This is not the preferred method used to transmit a Mayday because it does not provide information as to location and condition. However, it may be the only viable option under some circumstances.

关于每月快速干预和五月天政策的书面和谈论。但是现实是,在最坏的情况下,准备好在可能的消防员必须定期使用该格式的情况下,准备过一个清晰准确的五月天。
