Bend,Oregon Firefighters

What we were tought on 7-13-15 was about how Legistics are apart of every job. Legistics is made to help with the current job that we were learning about also goes for every job that is here. While we met up with the firefighters named Nick Swagger, and Robert Newey hey asked us a question on what the steps of sighting a fire. The steps that he let us come up with was first call firefighters to bring big water trucks and bring shovels and maybe could dig a barrier so that the fire could stop because of barrier. And we had learned about how it only takes one person to be able to feed or clean up for 10 firefighters when they are camping because a fire is big. Along when students had asked if they would just let the fire burn then Nick had answered saying only during certain reasons such as controlled fires to be burning weeds and to get rid of them. Then Nick and Robert had tought us about 1 hr, 10hr, 100hr, to 1000hr fuels, which fuels are the things that the ffire can feed off of like dried up grass. 1 hour fuels is something from zero to quarter inch object like dried up weeds or grass. 10 hour fuels would be something more than five inches and under eight inches like a twig. 100 hour fuels would be something more than ten inches in length like a branch that is already dead and dried up. 1000 hour fuels would be Logs that are dried up and dead that could catch on fire easily. Then like some of us that are interested in being apart of the firefighting business can go to a camp at age 16 and learn basics among in to camp area. But when legally trying to be a firefighter can sign up for training at age 18 to go through some the tests they have to pass in order to be able to be passed and be handed a red card for passing material. For example one of tests you have to pass is to walk three miles with fourty five pounds on your back and has to all be done in just fourty-five minutes. Also if you do work for the firefighting business but still in collage you are able to work part time for 6 months during collage but when you graduate from collage you can be able to work full time as a firefighter. Also when we had got done meeting up with Nick and Robert they had guided us up to a place called Bend seed productary and then we took some notes on how to do the job of taking care of seeds.
