UNIT 6. FIREFIGHTING OPERATIONS

Firefighting is the act of extinguishing fires. A firefighter prevents loss of life, destruction of property and the environment. Firefighting is a highly technical skill that requires professionals who have spent years training in both general firefighting techniques and specialized areas of expertise.

Points for discussion:

1. Working together with your partners, recall and make up a list of firefighters’ duties?

2. Try to explain how new technologies have modified the character of firefighters’ duties. Which duties have emerged recently?

3. Which technical skills have become indispensable?

4. Discuss the way firefighters’ activities are connected with the life of the community?

5. Do firefighters have any educational duties?

1. Study the table below showing the emergency response structure of the London fire brigade:

«Our aim is to be a world class fire and rescue service for London, Londoners and visitors. In order to achieve this, our key strategic aims are…»

Prevention – engaging with London’s community to inform and educate people in how to reduce the risk of fires and other emergencies. Example: home fire safety visits.
