MNR fire fighters look forward to challenging contest By Norm Gladish MNR Fire Prevention Technician Most regions of the province have remained active with forest fires, while the North Central has experienced cooler, wet weather. This has allowed our fires crews time to train for the annual hose-lay competition. Winners of contests held in Terrace Bay, Geraldton, Nipigon, Thunder Bay and Atikokan districts meet every year to determine the North Central Region's hose-lay champions. For the past few years, Armstrong Fire Operations Headquarters has hosted the com- petition, where each S-member crew is housed in standard "fire" style , ie. a 12' x 14' prospector tent pitched a few miles south of town on the sandy shore of beautiful MacKenzie Lake. The hose-lay consists of each crew setting up a Wajax fire pump at the water source, laying 400 feet of hose to a mock fire, then another 800 feet along the "fire line". Here, 120 targets are dispersed through the bush, simulating hot spots of open flame found on a real forest fire. Each crew runs through the same course removes all sup- pression equipment when done. Penalties are assessed for missed targets, unsafe work practices and improperly handled equipment. The winner is the crew with the shortest time after accounting for penalties. Another aspect of the competi- tion has traditionally included a camp setup, which is an integral part of fire fighting. Usually, two prospector tents complete with flies must be erected in a one-hour peri- od. Considering that trees must be felled and limbed for poles and a forested area cleared for the camp- site, this is not an easy chore. Extra points are awarded for additional work such as table, latrine, radio antenna or other camp improve- ments. Last year, physical fitness test- ing was conducted across the province in an attempt to establish a minimum fitness level for Ontario's fire fighters. Part of this program was reflected in the com- petition with events such as carry- ing a 70-Ib hose bag 800 metres at a rapid walk, gravel shovelling and log sawing. To test first aid preparedness, a mock chainsaw accident was staged involving a victim struck by a felled tree. Crews had to organize the application of first aid, make arrangements for transportation (ie. a stretcher) and for communication (to arrange for a rescue helicopter). Unit crew hose-lay competitions include a variety of events and stress the diverse aspects of fire fighting. It encourages crews to train at a time of year when actual fire fighting activity is declining and crew morale begins to flag. Team spirit is promoted as this is an opportunity for each crew to show other professionals what they can do..Everyone gains from observing peers in action or by dis- cussing new techniques and equip- ment offering safer, faster or more efficient means of fire fighting. In a specialized field like forest fire control, training is an integral aspect of the job which cannot be neglected. Competition is an excel- lent means of arousing and sustain- ing interest in training activities. Wanted to Rent A one bedroom furnished apartment for a teacher.
