| NEW ON THE JOB? |
| I've seen many If you are new or relatively new to the fire a rookie come onto the job, especially over the past few years, and act like they've been there 15 years. So how do you act and what is the right way to make a good impression? Well, take a read of the article below. It was printed by the "Nozzlehead" in Fire-Rescue magazine. It is the BEST article I have ever read when it comes to how new firefighters should act. If you aren't doing the majority of the items in this list, you might be doing things wrong.

The early new year's topic centers on
learning. Here are some educational
quotes to take you into the new year
and get you jump started for training !
"Education's purpose is to replace an
empty mind with an open one. "
-- Malcolm Forbes
"Apply yourself. Get all the education
you can, but then...do something.
Don't just stand there, make it happen."
-- Lee Iacocca
"If you are planning for a year, sow
rice; if you are planning for a decade,
plant trees; if you are planning for a
lifetime, educate people. "
-- Chinese proverb
"If someone is going down
the wrong road, he doesn't
need motivation to speed
him up. What he needs is
education to turn him
around. "
-- Jim Rohn

turn mirrors into windows. --Sydney J.
Harris
Education is learning what you didn't
even know you didn't know. ~Daniel

Much of the excitement and action during a structure fire occurs within
the first few minutes of a confirmed working fire operation. This is when
the fire is fully involved, additional resources are en-route, chain saws
and fans may be going full go, and the list of activities goes on. But what
happens after the fire is out can be just as important and just as
dangerous as the time when the fire is NOT out. This is the time period
we know as salvage and overhaul. These are two distinctly different
operations, although the terms are used either interchangeably or in
common. Salvage and overhaul is important for several reasons, but

mostly for the following:
- A 'relaxed' firefighter doesnt take the same precautions they
would during the first part of the fire, including SCBA - Protecting the homeowners most prized possessions can
ultimately be the most 'property protection' we do. - Preserving the season so fire investigators can do their job
without climbing through numerous piles of debris
