OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS, several of your #HFFA1463

OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS, several of your #HFFA1463 Exec Board attended the #IAFF Affiliate Leadership Training Summit (ALTS) in Lake Buena Vista, Florida.
.
From learning how we can maximize access to IAFF resources for our #HFFA1463Ohana and better communicating across all generations to engaging with leaders in cancer research in the fire service and tracking our exposures, ALTS teaches union leaders how to better serve our members.
.
It was also an opportunity to reconnect with our brothers and sisters from across the nation and Canada.
.
MAHALO to the IAFF for another great conference!

PAIA: Over the weekend, #MauiFF battled the brush

PAIA: Over the weekend, #MauiFF battled the brush fire that burned nearly 600 acres and threatened a Doris Todd Christian Academy and Skill Village homes.
.
First reported just after 1 PM on Saturday near Holomua Road, the fire forced residents throughout Paia to either leave their homes or remain in thick smoke and ash as the brush fire barreled toward Baldwin Avenue. Police responded to medical calls from Skill Village residents who were temporarily without power and couldn't leave the area due to heavy smoke, low visibility and unsafe road conditions.
.
Fueled by strong wind conditions and dry brush, the blaze moved west -- Fire crews from Engine 2 (Paia), Engine 10 (Kahului), Engine 5 (Makawao), Engine 14 (Wailea) and Engine 6 (Kihei) battled the blaze along with multiple tankers and Air 1 and Air 2 helicopters.
.
Baldwin Avenue in Paia between the old Hawaii Commercial & Sugar mill and Paia Elementary School was closed around 1:30 PM, Saturday and reopened in both directions up to Skill Village by 5:30 PM. However, the mauka portion remained closed at nightfall.
.
It was deemed 100% contained yesterday morning. There were no reported injuries or property damages.

Maui County firefighters are responding to a brush fire in the Kahikinui area. The response includes multiple fire units, air support and heavy equipment, according to the Maui Fire Department.
.
Fanned by strong winds, the blaze has grown to at least 100 acres, and it reportedly was moving northwest toward the Kahikinui Subdivision. Residents of at least a dozen homes were being evacuated. Emergency management officials were working on setting up a shelter for residents, fire officials reported.
.
The fire was first reported at 1:40 p.m. at Milepost 26 on Piilani Highway. A portion of the highway between Milepost 25 and Kipahulu Park has been closed. “I ask residents and visitors to be cautious and vigilant and stay away from this area of East Maui,” Mayor Michael Victorino said.

LAST FRIDAY, officials held an emergency response

LAST FRIDAY, officials held an emergency response drill at Hilo International Airport as part of the Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program.
.
Hilo #HiARFF, alongside the Army National Guard Aviation Department and the Hawaii Disaster Medical Assistant Team, participated in a mock scenario that went as follows --
.
At 10 AM, (2) Black Hawk UH60s with (4) SOB on each aircraft were participating in an airshow at Hilo Airport when (1) Black Hawk experienced engine failure, causing a collision of the aircraft and crashing into a crowd of observers. Approximately (60) people were injured with an unknown number of casualties reported.
.
The drill included a decomp tent to decominate the victims as often during aircraft accidents, there is a fuel leakage. Following decomp, victims were sorted by medical necessity for transfer to the hospital and placed in either a green (none); yellow (delayed); or red (immediate) tent.
.
This exercise is a mandatory certification by the Federal Aviation Administration.

On January 20, 1900, #HonoluluFF were battling a fire at the Kaumakapili Church at the corner of Beretania and Smith Streets.
.
It was reported that the fire was so strong from both directions that bystanders had to pull firefighters to safety after their skin blistered from the heat and approaching flames.
.
This act of bravery from bystanders occurred just in time as shortly after, the raging fire consumed both the fire engine and the church.

"Not every hero wears a cape. Plan and Practice Your Escape!"
.
#KauaiFF and the Kauai Fire Department is promoting this year's NFPA them for this week's National Fire Prevention Week works because it is a simple phrase that educates and reminds the community about the importance of taking actions to keep themselves and their ohana safe and prepared for a fire emergency.
.
"Situational awareness is a skill people need to use wherever they go. No matter where you are, look for available exits. If the alarm sounds, take it seriously and exit the building immediately," said KFD Deputy Chief Kilipaki Vaughan.
.
To kick off the week, Mayor Derek S. K. Kawakami held a proclamation ceremony on September 23 and encouraged all households to develop a safety plan together and practice it - which includes (2) ways out of every room with a clear path to an outside meeting place that is a safe distance from the home.
.
(*See article for additional tips and recommendations for developing and practicing a home escape plan.*)

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 5 -- The National Fire Preventio

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 5 -- The National Fire Prevention Week campaign kicked off with a family event at the Honolulu Zoo.
.
#HonoluluFF were alongside our brothers and sisters from the Federal Fire Department .@ffdhi263, as well as American Medical Response Hawaii and Keiki Injury Prevention Coalition to educate and answer any questions the public had on fire prevention and safety for their homes as well as learn about CPR, ambulance services and more.
.
Activities like a pop-up house helped to make fire safety education fun and interactive for families by teaching them of the potential hazards and the proper way to escape from a fire. Tuck and roll demonstrations and phrases like "Stop, drop and roll" and "Stay low and go" were emphasized throughout.
.
Keiki got to go through obstacle courses and other activities that taught them skills to survive a fire. They also got to ride in a fire truck and try on firefighter uniforms!
.
-- Nearly 50% of all home fires are related to a cooking issue, whether it is leaving it unattended, inadvertently activating the stove or leaving the burner on.
