The primary learning objective is for participants to experience the real-life dangers of firefighting and EMS work in an immersive scenario-based format.  Before performing the scenarios\, participants are fitted with firefighter turnout gear and learn how to don/doff an SCBA\, learn how to use a halligan tool and axe to assist in forcing a door and practice chest compressions\, and how to deliver hi-flo oxygen effectively. The morning practice will prepare participants for the immersive afternoon scenarios.   \n\n\n\n1. FIRE BEHAVIOR \n\n\n\nThis scenario will offer a live fire experience! Participants will be able to feel the heat\, see how firefighters work together as a crew\, understand the stages of fire\, and learn how to properly and safely extinguish the fire. \n\n\n\n2. SEARCH AND RESCUE \n\n\n\nSaving lives is the primary mission of firefighters and EMS personnel. Often\, firefighters must perform search and rescue before the fire is extinguished\, making this one of the most dangerous situations we face.  During the search\, you will learn about the important tools and equipment we use that make a difference in the life and death of residents and firefighters. \n\n\n\n3. AERIAL LADDER OPERATIONS \n\n\n\nFire scenes are very complex\, and it is important for aerial trucks and fire engines to work together to help make the scene as safe as possible. Rescue\, ventilation\, forcible entry\, overhaul\, and aerial operations must be coordinated. You will have the opportunity to climb an aerial ladder\, watch our crews operate on a roof\, and understand the importance of proper ventilation in a fire building. \n\n\n\n4.

SUMMARY:Fire Service Cultural Competency Certificate Program - San Francisco
DESCRIPTION:This event has been postponed – Click here to get on the waiting list \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSchedule\n\n\n\nDAY 1: Understanding Fire Service Culture\n\n\n\nLocation: Division of Training Facility at Folsom St-2310 Folsom St\, SF CA 94110 \n\n\n\nTime: 0800-1600 hrs \n\n\n\nThe Understanding Fire Service Culture course provides a broad overview of the fire service and its psychological components. After successful completion\, the participant can earn one hour of continuing education per hour of training (sponsored by the American Psychological Association). \n\n\n\nLearning Objectives:\n\n\n\n\nIdentify cultural components of the fire service\, including performance standards\, jargon\, shift work\, and barriers to treatment.\n\n\n\nDescribe the complexities of firefighting and emergency service\, including trauma exposures.\n\n\n\nIdentify unique challenges to interpersonal relationships.\n\n\n\nExplain organizational demands inherent in the firefighting profession based on the paramilitary organization.\n\n\n\nExplain current trends in peer support and psychological services offered to fire departments and barriers to treatment.\n\n\n\n\nDAY 2: Fire Operations 101\n\n\n\nLocation: Treasure Island training Facility-600 Avenue N\, SF CA 94130 \n\n\n\nTime: 0800-1600 hrs \n\n\n\nFireOps 101 class is designed to simulate some of the emergency operations Firefighters and Ems personnel face daily. The primary learning objective is for participants to experience the real-life dangers of firefighting and EMS work in an immersive scenario-based format.  Before performing the scenarios\, participants are fitted with firefighter turnout gear and learn how to don/doff an SCBA\, learn how to use a halligan tool and axe to assist in forcing a door and practice chest compressions\, and how to deliver hi-flo oxygen effectively. The morning practice will prepare participants for the immersive afternoon scenarios.   \n\n\n\n1. FIRE BEHAVIOR \n\n\n\nThis scenario will offer a live fire experience! Participants will be able to feel the heat\, see how firefighters work together as a crew\, understand the stages of fire\, and learn how to properly and safely extinguish the fire. \n\n\n\n2. SEARCH AND RESCUE \n\n\n\nSaving lives is the primary mission of firefighters and EMS personnel. Often\, firefighters must perform search and rescue before the fire is extinguished\, making this one of the most dangerous situations we face.  During the search\, you will learn about the important tools and equipment we use that make a difference in the life and death of residents and firefighters. \n\n\n\n3. AERIAL LADDER OPERATIONS \n\n\n\nFire scenes are very complex\, and it is important for aerial trucks and fire engines to work together to help make the scene as safe as possible. Rescue\, ventilation\, forcible entry\, overhaul\, and aerial operations must be coordinated. You will have the opportunity to climb an aerial ladder\, watch our crews operate on a roof\, and understand the importance of proper ventilation in a fire building. \n\n\n\n4. CPR AND POSSIBLE OVERDOSE \n\n\n\nThe prescription opioid and heroin overdose epidemic affects individuals nationwide\, from big cities to rural communities. In this scenario\, you will experience a routine overdose call that quickly turns into a cardiac arrest. Overdoses and cardiac arrest are among the most time-critical emergencies our members respond to daily. \n\n\n\nTentative Fire Ops Schedule for SFFD –  \n\n\n\n\n0800-0845: Warm up\, Stretching\, and Light PT  \n\n\n\n0900-0930:  Welcome from the Chief of Department\, brief history of SFFD \n\n\n\n0930-1000  Turnout Gear fitting.  Donning and doffing practice\n\n\n\n1000-1200  Rotations in teams( 4 per team) through manipulative stations:\n\nSCBA\n\n\n\nCPR skills\n\n\n\nForcible Entry\n\n\n\nClimb aerial \n\n\n\n\n\n1200-1300  Lunch- cooked by BHU members\n\n\n\n1300-1500  Live fire rotations\n\nSearch & Rescue\n\n\n\nAerial Ladder Op\n\n\n\nFire Behavior\n\n\n\nMega code\n\n\n\n\n\n1500-1600  Fireboat Ride on San Francisco Bay- group diffusing with BHU \n\n\n\n\nSTEP 3: Participants will complete Ride Alongs (forty hours of shadowing firefighters and paramedics in their daily tasks with a “Task-Book” to be Completed by a Clinician and Signed by a Fire Officer.

SUMMARY:Firefighter Stress & Explosive Anger: The Impact on Marriage
DESCRIPTION:This webinar presentation is designed to review research on intimate partner aggression perpetration prevalence\, processes that predict for whom and under what circumstances IPA is most likely to occur and discuss best clinical practices for when it is ethical to. use couple therapy as a treatment mechanism. Specifically\, adaptations and cultural competence in delivering couple therapy and assessing for IPA risk among firefighter/paramedics will be covered. Finally\, legal documentation and reporting requirements as well as court cases and ethics for psychologists will be extensively discussed. The training will conclude with a firefighter/paramedic mock clinical case in which participants will elaborate on their goals for assessment\, clinical treatment plan formation\, documentation\, consultation\, and reporting strategies. This mock example will include dual role considerations as well as an ethical dilemma to provide more in-depth training and reflection.
