FIRE FIGHTERS: A MIDST DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES
“We need fire to mold our steel into tools; and tools into great usage for our life’s advancements.”
In the society, it is needed to have the full facilities and group of people who would maintain the peace and order as perfectly as possible. Thus, completing each man power and forces in all of the agencies in the community or area, is much needed. The most of it is that, it is very important as well to know who is who and what its function is. Thus, we usually have to define its mode, phases and terms according to its functions.
Just like the fire fighters we have in our societies, thought this term is really self-explanatory and its functions are really that vivid, I still would like to stressed it here more clearly what it is, its functions and the tools along with its priorities are for. Let me start it through differentiating fire fighters from fire fighting:
Fire Fighters are those people (men or women) engaging into the function of ceasing the blazes or flame of fire, which would create destruction and give hazards to the people in the area. These are the people who undergone Intensive trainings from their respective course/s and chosen field of duty.
Fire Fighting is the act of ceasing fire into big flames and even stopping it to harm people around. It is the main duties of the fire fighters, who are opt to have their lives into this line of profession and for the welfare of the community.
Those two terms are in one thought for the common good of the people if putting into action. Thus, upon having this work, fire fighters also in need for lots of tools while on duty and while fighting down the fire. Here are main tools they need on duty, that are in different variations:
- Fire axes
- Forcibly Entry tools
- Rescue Saws
- Rescue Tools
- Hand tools
Along with those tools are the basin gadgets needed; the flame proofing, fire gloves, illumination kit, fire shelters, fire firefighter turnouts or clothing and Helmet, fire dex leather structure boots as well.
Those mentioned tools above are needed to make those fire fighters function well and for their duties as well, to be very effective and easily done in the right timing for the very appropriate time as needed. Each kind and functions for each tool might be varying, but those are having the same function as a whole- to save lives; the same way for those fire fighters; who are dedicating their lives into flame literally, just to save people a midst of fire from hazards. It is their role and responsibility. Having reviewed and observed few of their experiences and done operations, those are not easy and safe. But with all of their will and vision of having their societal-centered mission, they keep on going with this field of duty to visualize, act and do into duty everything they could, just to save lives and impart to all of us the idea of SERVICE and DEDICATION for what the duty calls.
Being a fire fighter a midst of duty is inevitably hazardous as well. There are instances that they will not be that safe, in behalf of their intensive trainings. It is normal, because no one is perfect. But it will be good to have someone on this field who is strong in mind, emotion, determination, fix goal and vision to serve and save people from life curtailing flames, and the most is that optimistic and firm enough with the faith in God to have the duty be done accordingly and in line with His will. Thus, I would conclude it that a fire fighter must be prayerful before and a midst on their fire duty!
