Fire Equipment

Thursday 2nd June 2011
Was asked today by Sieg to set up a rosterfor the fire equipment checks. So firstly took 2 first years with me to go show them how to do the fire equipment checks, we made sure that the Water tankers were operational & full, and that the tractors were starting & operational. Thereafter I took them into the fire store to make sure all the clothing was there, that they were neatly hung up, & that it was easy to access them in the event of a fire. I showed the first years how to check and pack the masks, then check the back pack sprayers, ensuring they were full & operational. Thereafer, I set up a roster including one second year & 2 first years for the rest of June to check the equipment to ensure that in the event of a fire, the equipment is ready to fight. The roster & checklist will also be put into my POE as evidence under my Operate a veld burn Unit Standard.
