Employee Education and
Qualifications
It is with a great deal of pride that we can provide the citizens of Bay Louis
with a list of their firefighters and experience hours. It reinforces our
message to the public that we are well qualified. This training certainly
qualifies as a component of reaching our mission. Even with these training
hours, our daily work plan includes new and refresher course training each day.
All of this
information is based on what I was supplied by the firefighters and is current
as 0f April 2003

Physical Agility Screening
|
|
|
|
|
A new physical agility screen program was instituted this year and developed to help the staff gauge their own physical stamina in a variety of situations they would encounter on a fire scene. The firefighter, while wearing
full protective clothing and SCBA, was given an ax and had to forcibly strike
a target a minimum of 60 times in no more than two minutes. This exercise was
designed to simulate cutting through a roof to release smoke, heat, and
gases. The firefighter, in his full
gear, helmet, boots, coat, and SCBA had to crawl a distance of 50 yards, or
150 feet. This building search evolution is performed as a continuous
exercise without stopping to simulate the search for a trapped victim. During the hose lay evolution,
the firefighter, while wearing full protective clothing and SCBA was given
150 feet of 2 1/2 inch hose with fog nozzle attached, folding the hose to
his/her choice. The firefighter then stood beside the folded hose with the
nozzle placed over one shoulder. At the signal the firefighter stretched the
hose line in a straight line to its full length without stopping. The final test was the hazardous
material evolution, a simulation of transporting liquid material at a haz-mat
scene. The firefighter was given a 50 foot length of 2 1/2 inch hose weighing
approximately 65 pounds to carry a distance of a quarter mile, wearing full
protective clothing and SCBA. The hose could be carried as a roll, or by
means of any recognized hose carry method. To reach the objective of being
efficient and well-trained the department has established its own exercise
room with equipment that has been donated or purchased by department
employees. This room has been established at no cost to the taxpayer and is
open for use by any city employee as long as housekeeping rules are followed. All members of the Bay St. Louis
Fire Department participated in the Professional Development Certification
Program classes that were held by the City to improve customer service,
communication and team building skills, address sexual harassment,
sensitivity and diversity issues, learn about community history and assets,
and individual wellness. |
