Radio Rick Birthday

We're not sure of the exact age, according to his payroll paperwork Rick is 26, but I'm thinking it might be a little north of that. Either way, a nice party was held in Rick's honor and we want to share a few pics with you...

Firefighters Help Teach Math

Firefighters Help Teach Math Lesson at Florida Ave. Elementary

On Tuesday May 14, 2013 St. Tammany Fire District #1 firefighters met with the 6^th graders at Florida Ave. Elementary in Slidell to discuss how math is used in the fire service.  Mrs. Karen Tesei, the 6^th grade teacher at Florida Ave. Elementary, contacted the fire department to see if firefighters would be willing to help demonstrate how math is used on the job. 

On the initial visit firefighters discussed how math is used to calculate the occupant load for buildings as well as swimming pool occupancy, insuring safety.  Additionally a firefighter, who dives recreationally, shared with the students how important math is in personal safety when diving.  The firefighters brought a ladder truck and rescue truck to school to demonstrate to intrigued students how they use math calculations to flow water through the fire hoses at the correct pressures.  The firefighters used a 200 foot booster reel hose to demonstrate water flow using precise mathematical calculations.  The kids were divided into two groups.  Each group got the chance to feel the water flow from the nozzle at various pressures as well as see the operation of the pump panel which supplied water to the hose. 

In conclusion, firefighters were able to teach the 6^th graders how math is used to fight fire and keep people safe.

Fire Rescue Drill

On Monday April 15, 2013 St. Tammany Fire Districts 1, 7, & 11 from Slidell and Pearl River took part in a multi-agency drill at the Lafarge mining facility in Pearl River.  The purpose of the drill was to simulate a trauma injury and how firefighters and Lafarge personnel would work together to rescue a victim.  The Lafarge mining facility utilizes hoppers and conveyor belts that are 30 to 40 feet high to mine for the gravel that is used in concrete.  Due to the height of the equipment, any accidents could result in traumatic injuries for its personnel.  Firefighters are trained in high angle rescue which would be needed should an accident occur at the top of these platforms.
