Answer 2

fire!

Fire, all fire, is a combination of 3 things: Fuel, Heat & Oxygen. If you remove any of these parts then you will not have fire. Fires burn because these three components are together in sufficient quantities to sustain itself, add more fuel the fire will become bigger & hotter, and consume more oxygen.

Firefighting is one of the most respected jobs in the country. Many children express a desire to become firefighters when they grow up, but a few actually follow through on it. For those who remain fascinated by the thought of joining a fire brigade, this is a field that continues to require passionate, committed individuals.

Firefighters respond to emergency calls and put out fires using firefighting equipment, particularly hoses. They may be called upon to rescue victims who are trapped inside of houses or to administer first aid to those who have escaped. In between calls, their duties include attending to their trucks, making sure that all equipment is in working order.

Firefighters also work to prevent fires by inspecting buildings and disseminating information about fire safety. Many of them make presentations in schools in order to inform children about the importance of having working smoke detectors and well-defined emergency escape plans. In metropolitan areas, firefighters are often divided into specialized teams dealing with particular types of fires or other life-threatening situations.

In order to become a firefighter, a person needs to be at least 18 years old and pass the fire examination, which includes a medical, physical and written portion. College courses in fire science can be helpful, especially for those seeking advanced positions. Some firefighters enter apprenticeship programs, which last several years. It’s important for firefighters to be in peak physical condition, and they also need to receive certification as emergency medical technicians.

On average, a firefighter’s salary ranges from about $9 an hour to more than $29 an hour, with benefits that include insurance and paid vacations. After 25 years of service, firefighters who are 50 or older are usually able to retire and receive half of their pay. Those who are injured in the line of duty may take early retirement.

Firefighting is a career with inherent hazards, since the job often entails going into a dangerous situation in order to extract others. Firefighters also must deal with heavy equipment and work long hours. However, for those who have a passion for fighting fires, the satisfaction of protecting fellow citizens outweighs the risks and physical hardships.

Answer 4

Individuals interested in a career in fire inspection need to earn a degree in fire science. This opens the door to the very important occupation of fire inspection, a job that is highly respected by the public. People depend on fire inspectors to keep buildings and homes safe. As long as there’s a good fire inspector on the job, fire hazards will be spotted and corrected quickly, leaving everyone in a building safe from fire.

A fire inspector inspects the exterior and interior of a building to ensure that there are no fire hazards present. This duty is carried out according to building safety codes. Fire extinguishers and other emergency aids in case of fire are inspected to make sure they are functioning properly. If any fire hazards exist, a fire inspector can issue a citation. If a building owner refuses to make necessary changes, legal action can be taken to ensure that the building is brought up to code.

Fire inspectors are paid well. They make between $36, 971 and $60, 647 a year. Fire inspectors are hired by a number of organizations: Fire departments, local government, and public safety are three areas where fire inspectors are often hired. Income is dependent on where the person is hired. A fire inspector that works for a fire department might make over $60,000 while a public safety fire inspector earns about $59,000. It’s a small difference but to some even that small amount matters when determining what area of fire inspection to work in.

A person that wants to be a fire inspector can obtain a degree in fire science. Degrees range from associate’s to graduate degrees. A higher degree can help someone get a better job. Certification and licensure are sometimes options, but many states now require fire inspectors to become licensed. There are two types of fire inspector certification: Fire inspector I and fire inspector II. These certifications are obtained through the National Fire Protection Association and require the recipient to have completed a rigorous certification process that maximizes the chances of all people in the industry to do the best possible job they can do. Knowledge is the key to saving lives in the field.

Answer 5

Definition

Fire ants are red-colored insects that sting and deliver a harmful substance, called venom, into your skin.

This is for information only and not for use in the treatment or management of an actual poison exposure. If you have an exposure, you should call your local emergency number (such as 911) or the National Poison Control Center at 1-800-222-1222.

Poisonous Ingredient

Fire ant venom contains a chemical called piperidine.

Where Found

Fire ants build dirt nests that form mounds, usually in open grass settings. They are typically found in the southern United States and other areas that do not freeze in winter.

Symptoms

Symptoms may include:

• Swelling, redness, itchiness, and pain around the site of bite
• Pus-filled blisters that last 3 - 8 days
• Possible scab at the area of the bite that lasts 3 - 10 days

Those allergic to fire ant venom may also have

• Difficulty breathing
• Rapid heart rate
• Throat swelling

Home Treatment

Home treatment depends on the location of, and reaction to, the sting.

Wash the exposed area with plenty of soap and water. Do not use alcohol to wash the area. Wash eyes with plenty of water if any toxin gets in them.

For mild stings, place ice (wrapped in a washcloth or other suitable covering) on the bite area for 10 minutes and then off for 10 minutes. Repeat this process. If the patient has circulatory problems, decrease the time to prevent possible damage to the skin.

Some people are allergic to fire ant venom. If the reaction is severe, seek immediate medical help and call your local emergency number (such as 911) or poison control.

Those who have an allergy to insect bites or stings should carry a bee sting kit (which requires a prescription) and become familiar with how to use it in the event of an emergency.

Before Calling Emergency

Determine the following information:

• Patient's age, weight, and condition
• Identification of the insect, if possible
• Time of the bite

Poison Control, or a local emergency number

The National Poison Control Center (1-800-222-1222) can be called from anywhere in the United States. This national hotline number will let you talk to experts in poisoning. They will give you further instructions.

This is a free and confidential service. All local poison control centers in the United States use this national number. You should call if you have any questions about poisoning or poison prevention. It does NOT need to be an emergency. You can call for any reason, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

See: Poison control center - emergency number

What to expect at the emergency room

The health care provider will measure and monitor the patient's vital signs, including temperature, pulse, breathing rate, and blood pressure. The wound will be treated as appropriate.

The patient may receive:

• Breathing assistance, if needed
• Fluids through a vein (IV)
• Medications to treat symptoms

Expectations (prognosis)

The sooner appropriate treatment is started, the better the outcome. Patients not allergic to fire ants should be completely fine in a few hours to a few days.

Answer 6

Termination from a job means that you have been fired or laid off. In some cases, you may have been unfairly let go. Employers must abide by certain guidelines or the firing may be unlawful.

Wrongful termination is a legal term. If you are fired due to a specific illegal reason, you can bring a lawsuit against your former employer. In some cases, an unlawful firing carries statuary penalties as well as the possibility to receive back wages and other punitive expenses.

There are some reasons that can classify as unlawful firing. A termination in violation of federal or state anti-discrimination laws can constitute wrongful termination, however this may be difficult to prove. Firing as a form of sexual harassment is also unlawful. Other types of wrongful termination include violating oral and/or written agreements, firing in violation of labor laws and a retaliation firing.

Discrimination laws under the federal guidelines prohibit harassment because of race, religion, gender, national origin, disability, or age at the workplace. Discriminatory practices also includes retaliation for an employee filing a discrimination complaint or speaking up against discriminatory practices. Under the Federal Laws, discrimination also includes stereotyping races, cultures, disabilities, gender or age. Federal law also prevents employers from discriminating against employees for marrying someone of a certain race or culture.

If you believe you have been fired unlawfully, there are some things that you can do to help with your case. If you have dealt with any discrimination or sexual harassment by your employers, document the times and occurrences. While you are still employed, it helps your case to make written complaints about these situations. Gather up any paperwork you have concerning your employment, including any contracts. Speak to your union representative, if you have one, about your options. Review any severance packages or other paperwork before you sign documents.

Although those are the most common reasons for unlawful firing, you still may have a case even if your reasons are different. Talk to an attorney that specializes in employees' rights. An attorney can help you determine if you have a potential lawsuit and what steps you should take next.
