Search operations are one of the most critically important functions on the fireground. The ability to quickly and efficiently locate and remove occupants from ...a hazardous environment plays one of the largest roles in victim survivability. This class focuses on a wide range of search techniques that will help firefighters successfully locate and rescue any potential trapped or missing occupants, including Oriented Search, Vent Enter Search, and Large Area Search See more

Good morning everyone - we hope you've had a good week training? Here is our selection of Friday Favourite Photos! With special thanks to Twitter users @HMCGAC18 and @clivebush3645, plus Waterwise Marine Support and Sea Air Thai Co, Ltd.

Dynamic Rescue spent seven days with the first of four groups from Red Chris Mine. The focus was on completing the requirements for the Ministry of Mines Underground Rescue certification. These guys were super switched on and a pleasure to spend a week with. Red Chris is in good hands! Many thanks to Brandon M. for his excellent instruction! #dynamicrescue #minerescue #draegerbg4 #rescue #firefighters #miners #RedChris #roperescue #levittsafety

The CMC CLUTCH by Harken Industrial is a versatile, certified, multi-purpose tool designed for technical rope professionals. Suited to a multitude of rigging... operations, it moves seamlessly between anchor-based systems and personal use. Designed for efficient hauling, controlled lowering, smooth personal descent, easy ascending and belaying. The CLUTCH’s innovative double-latched side plate is independent of the device‘s attachment point, allowing for easy and secure rope loading/unloading. An integrated becket also allows for direct connection of mechanical advantage systems. The stainless steel ratcheting and rotating sheave delivers efficient and audible progress capture for long lifts.

Oh dear! #Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service crews rescued a deer that fell through the ice on the Red River this afternoon. Thin ice conditions are present throughout the city, please exercise extreme caution around waterways.

It was wet, but the guys kept them busy all day! Well done!

Dynamic spent 3 days with some of the crews from Revelstoke Mountain Resort. The focus was on retrieving an injured skier/snowboarder in the vertical environment. Conditions were accurate for the environment. Well done to all! #dynamicrescue #CMC #roperescue #searchandrescue #rescue #mountainrescue #revelstokemountain #newenglandrope #sked #petzl

THRUST BLOCK SYSTEMS- UNSAFE I hate to keep bringing this up, but I have been seeing an increasing use of this system on social media. The thrust block system ...is DANGEROUS and should not be used by rescuers shoring unstable and active soil conditions. The load path for a typical thrust block shoring design is shown in the Drawing A. When the load from the outside corner area of a L-shaped trench reaches the diagonal struts in the thrust block system the vectors (direction and magnitude) develop sliding forces. When the sliding forces overcome the resistance (bearing force times friction coefficient) the panels slide down the wall. As seen in this video, a relatively small amount of force from the air pressure in the diagonal strut, causes the panels to slide and results in a catastrophic system design failure. Now keep in mind that this system fails from very small strut activations forces. Soil forces from that outside wall will be thousands or even tens of thousands of pounds of force. So why doesn’t the thrust block system work? From a physics point of view, it is pretty simple. When the force being transferred through the diagonal strut (see Drawing A) reaches the inside corner, the thrust block only has the resistance from the activation force developed by Strut 1 to keep it from moving (sliding). If Strut 1 is shot at 200 psi and if it is perpendicular to the wall you create about 1,000 pounds of bearing (holding) force and no sliding force. You may think that 1,000 pounds of bearing force could resist 1,000 pounds of sliding force but that does not take, into account, the friction coefficient between the back of the panel and the soil (wall). The friction coefficient between a panel and soil is about 0.5 (50%). That means that each 1,000 pound of bearing force will only resist 500 pounds of sliding force. If you shoot the 45-degree diagonal strut at the same 200 psi (1,000 pounds of force) it creates just over 700 pounds (71 %) of sliding force. When you have a strut (Strut 1 in this system) that can only hold (resist) 500 pounds and you push on it with 700 pounds it fails (slides). That is why the thrust block system cannot even resist the sliding force created by diagonal struts using the manufacturer’s recommended air pressure. Many instructors erroneously teach their students to ease off the pressure on the diagonal struts to get this system to simple stand in place. Now imagine that you balance the strut pressures and have this system standing in place when thousands of pounds of soil force push on the diagonal struts. The system will fail (as seen in the video) and firefighters and victims in the trench will be buried. Some firefighters have recognized the flaw in this un-engineered shoring design and have attempted to fix it by connecting the inside corner panels together with ratchet straps, ropes or bolted on brackets. The problem then becomes the lack of adequate resistance on the wales and panels on the outside walls. The diagonal struts, the outside thrust blocks (also called corner blocks and overlapping wales will cause a sliding force on the outside wall shoring equipment (Drawing B) that overcomes the resistance of Strut 1 and/or Strut 2 and results in a system failure that is similar, to the failure seen in the video. If you are interested in reading that explanation from a Professional Engineer, please message me with your email address. See more
