00:00And to fully understand how hard it is to be a firefighter,
00:05I also joined the basic training of fire volunteers.
00:09First, I was taught the things that are needed when responding to a fire.
00:14These are the other equipments that we have here at Golden Fire and Rescue.
00:19So this is a thermal imaging scanner.
00:24So you can see when it's dark.
00:26You can also detect how high the heat temperature is.
00:32Ah, so you can know if it's hot or not.
00:34Yes.
00:36Why can't you feel it when it's hot?
00:38Because it's different when it's hot.
00:40For example, it's possible for there to be a backdrop.
00:44So the feeling is different.
00:46It's easier to detect if you use a thermal imaging scanner.
00:50This is a fire nozzle gun type.
00:53This is a fire nozzle gun type.
00:55So this is what we usually use for firefighting.
00:58This is what you use?
00:59Yes.
01:00For what?
01:01It's used for firefighting.
01:04We use it for external or internal firefighting.
01:07Okay.
01:08What is that? It's so big.
01:09It's a hose clamp.
01:10So this is used during a fire operation
01:14so that you won't cut the hose or kill the pressure.
01:18You just tighten this.
01:20So no matter how strong the pressure is,
01:22once the hose clamp is tightened,
01:24the pressure will be cut.
01:25You can add a new hose.
01:27Okay.
01:29After he taught me some equipment,
01:31he then taught me how to wear PPE or Personal Protective Equipment.
01:38Game, go first.
01:41As we said, when it comes to firefighting,
01:43as much as possible,
01:45we should minimize skin exposure,
01:48especially to women.
01:50Okay.
01:51Then...
01:52You will have your wear pants.
01:53It's like you're riding a balaclava, right?
01:56Okay.
01:57Then, we'll insert the...
02:00It fits.
02:01It fits.
02:02It's like...
02:04It's garterized.
02:07Then, how far does it go?
02:09Like this?
02:10Yes, when you come home.
02:11Is there more?
02:13To protect your neck.
02:15So everything is protected.
02:17It's hot!
02:19So the difference of SCBA and the SCUBA...
02:21SCBA is Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus.
02:23For the SCUBA, it's Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus.
02:27But it's the same.
02:28But it's not as heavy as the SCUBA.
02:30The SCUBA is bigger.
02:33In the SCUBA, they're using a steel cylinder.
02:37What we're using is a polycarbonate cylinder.
02:42Carbon-derived.
02:44I feel like I'm putting out a fire.
02:48Should I remove this?
02:49Yes.
02:52It feels good to breathe.
02:54It feels good to breathe.
02:57Helmet.
02:58We have a protocol.
03:00If ever you're geared up,
03:02and you're going to penetrate
03:04into your firefighting,
03:06our protocol...
03:07Did you notice that there's a tag here in the bunker?
03:09This tag.
03:11It is required that if you're going to go inside the fire scene,
03:14you will leave this inside the OIC outside.
03:18Meaning, we know who's inside the fire scene.
