Denver Fire Department: Leadership So Everyone Goes Home

2014-06-09T15:15:16.440Z

NFFF TV - Denver firefighters opened their doors and their hearts to share painful lessons to help improve firefighter safety across the country and around the world. The National Fallen Firefighters Foundation (NFFF) has released Denver Fire Department: Leadership So Everyone Goes Home, a documentary highlighting the department's efforts to make improvements after the tragic loss of three Denver firefighters over a six-year period.

The documentary, produced by STATter911 Communications in association with Greg Guise Media and PC Productions, focuses on the line-of-duty-deaths of Firefighter Robert Crump in 2000, Assistant Chief Charles Drennan Jr. in 2001 and Lt. Richard Montoya in 2006. Members of the department, from the rank of firefighter up to the fire chief, share their insights into the loss of these three men and talk about other incidents where Denver firefighters have been seriously injured.

Firefighter Rescue: Using a F.E.P.S. (FF Extraction Pulley System)

2012-05-26T21:55:13.791Z

This video will discuss and demonstrate the use of a F.E.P.S. (Firefighter Extraction Pulley System). We placed the first version of this piece of equipment into service back in 1994 to supplement our RIT operations. Through the years I refined the system to what you will see in the video.

The F.E.P.S. is intended as a backup (or option) to a traditional ladder rescue or “Denver Drill” – It’s simply a 2-1 mechanical advantage haul system on a change of direction pulley. The system is designed to lighten the load and stress on rescuers without compromising the safety or speed of this type of operation.

Cost of the F.E.P.S. shown in the video = $398.00

Components include:
• 150 feet of ½” static kernmantle rescue rope = $175.00
• 2 – X/L Omega screw lock carabiners = $30.00 each
• 2 – 2” CMC pulleys (NFPA “General Use”) = $50.00 each
• 1 – Large Black Diamond screw lock carabiner (with “key style” gate) = $10.00
• 1 – 9 foot webbing loop (made from a 20 foot length of 1” tubular webbing) = $6.00
• 1 – 16 inch webbing loop (made from a 54 inch length of 1” tubular webbing) = $2.00
• 1 storage bag = $45.00
