Description
An educational series highlighting the work of Oklahoma City Firefighters
A
Welcome
to
inside
fire
rescue
I'm
Chief
Keith
Bryant
of
the
Oklahoma
City
Fire
Department,
we're
going
to
use
this
edition
of
inside
Fire
Rescue
to
educate
you
about
how
we
respond
to
weather
related
incidents.
We've
selected
these
topics,
so
we
can
highlight
the
work
of
our
firefighters,
but
we
also
want
to
give
you
some
tips
on
how
you
can
react
in
extreme
weather
conditions
to
keep
yourself
and
your
family
safe
as
trees,
crack
and
powerlines
fell
under
the
weight
of
Isis
winter.
Our
firefighters
quickly
responded
to
meet
the
needs
of
our
citizens
and
record
numbers.
A
We're
here
at
fire
station
30
today,
I
by
lake
after
to
talk
to
some
of
the
crew
about
their
experiences
during
the
most
recent
winter
storm
that
severely
struck
central
oklahoma
like
to
introduce
you
to
some
of
the
crew
here
at
station
30
district
chief,
steve
lumry,
lieutenant
Scott
Owens,
lieutenant
mark
Calhoun
and
major
Gary
Jones.
First
of
all,
major
Jones
tell
us
about
some
of
the
challenges
that
you
faced
during
that
time.
So.
B
The
challenges
that
we
probably
faced
immediately
was
the
fact
that
we
did
have
icy
roads
contend
with
as
a
storm
rolled
in
after
it
initially
came
a
little
heavier.
We
had
debris
that
was
falling
from
trees
and
down
power
lines
that
prevented
our
access
to
some
of
the
areas
quickly,
and
then
some
of
the
areas
had
abandoned
vehicles
that
were
stuck
or
had
been
abandoned
due
to
mechanical
difficulties,
made
it
difficult
to
arrive
on
scene
and
timely
matter
or
to
take
care
of
what
we
need
to
take
care
of
henan.
C
C
D
The
poet
may
not
know
is
that
our
response
times
are
going
to
be
slowed
down
because
ice
on
the
streets.
Obviously,
we
can't
drive
any
faster
than
what
they
can
safely
so
when
we
arrived
on,
the
scene
is
generally
a
little
bit
later.
If
it's
a
fire
alarm
in
most
cases,
it
has
a
longer
time
for
the
fire
to
get
going,
and
so
that
causes
more
damage,
other
tactical
things
we
have
to
change
or
because
the
icy
conditions
our
personnel,
have
to
be
more
aware
of
their
footing
and
we're
careful
on
that.
D
A
C
First
and
foremost,
you
know
with
the
cold
weather,
we
have
to
make
sure
that
we
drain
our
pumps,
because
if
we
get
out
on
the
scene
for
extended
period
of
time,
the
pumps
will
start
to
freeze
and
cause
that
pump
to
go
inoperable.
Another
thing
is,
we
got
to
make
sure
we
have
tire
chains
on
hand
at
all
times,
ready
to
use
and
a
lot
of
times
we
just
put
those
on
there
with
them
from
inclement
weather
hits.
We
just
put
them
on
for
safety
precautions.
C
Another
thing
is,
is
a
we
have
to
carry
something
on
the
rig
in
case
we
do
get
a
house
fire
a
lot
of
times.
The
fire
hydrants
are
frozen
shut
and
we
got
to
have
fun
some
way
to
to
get
those
open
and
then
just
the
valves
on
the
rig.
We
got
to
make
sure
we
lubricate
them
all
the
time
to
keep
them
from
freezing
and
where
they
operate.
During
the
cold
weather,
tena.
A
E
Probably
that,
as
far
as
the
emergency
aspect
of
it,
we're
all
concentrated
on
being
able
to
deliver
the
service
as
fast
as
we
can
to
be
able
to
end
what
our
problem
is
to
begin
with,
what
we're
called
on
whenever
we
have
a
grass
season
and
the
fire
season
is
going
on
and
you've
got
a
it's
pretty
much
an
emergency
situation.
You
want
to
get
out
there
and
make
sure
that
you
take
care
of
what's
going
on
out
there
as
soon
as
possible,
keep
the
houses
and
people
safe.
E
When
you
have
an
extended
event,
you've
got
more
of
the
concentrated
population
area
right
around
our
station
that,
in
a
lot
of
cases,
we
were
out
there
making
sure
that
people
were
preventing
themselves
from
getting
armed.
It
was
power
lines
down,
so
we
actually
in
a
preventive
type
of
a
situation
instead
of
trying
to
to
correct
on
something
that
was
already
ongoing.
D
A
D
Say,
probably
for
them
to
watch
the
weather
plan
ahead
in
oklahoma,
we've
got
great
weather
people
and
they
keep
you
well-informed
well
in
advance
of
these
type
of
storms
coming
in
so
plan
ahead
and
be
prepared,
have
plenty
of
food
on
hand,
have
a
backup,
radio
or
something
like
that
with
a
battery-powered
and
if
they
do
have
to
be
out
on
the
streets
drive
with
extreme
caution,
pay
attention
way
ahead
of
them.
What's
going
on,
and
also
watching
the
rearview
mirror
to
what's
coming
up
behind
them,
I
wait
when
it's
ahead
of
them.
D
Exactly
right
and
and
be
well
aware
of
what
the
CEO
poisoning
signs
are,
because
when
they
bring
heaters
inside
the
house,
or
we
actually
had
people
that
brought
charcoal
errs
inside
the
house,
which
we
do
not
recommend,
and
we
had
a
lot
of
people
that
had
CO
poisoning
that
we
had
to
take
care
of.
Well.
