Page 4-Palm Beach Daily News, Tuesday, September 8, 1987 Fire From Pane 1 working a shorter distance with the hose. It takes a number of firemen going in and "out of a building, getting to the fire as quickly as possible and fighting as long as breathing permits, to control and extinguish a sizeable fire. Elmore said, "There is only one real answer to fighting highrise fires, and that is a sprinkler system. Some newer buildings in Palm Beach do have sprinklers. Many older buildings do not." The department offers Emergency Medical Service, basic life and advance life support service, as well as fire suppression and fire prevention.

Emergency Medical Units respond to personal injury calls, and accidents. All firefighters are building can be a hindrance. The major use for the aerial platforms is for rescue and ventilation. The materials burning determine what is used to extinguish a fire. Foam or dry chemicals are used to extinguish burning flammable or combustible materials.

However, water is the basic fire suppressant and is used in the majority of According to Stanfield, a major part of the simulation exercises was the tactics of how much water, what type of hose, and the way it should be deployed in the building. The department has three fire engines, one at each station 300 N. County 360 S. County and 2185 S. Ocean Each engine carries a 500-gallon watej tank, more than 1200 feet of hose, and has a pump which will produce 1250 gallons of water per minute.

Engines are white and accented with yellow for good visibility and the aerial platforms are lime green. Elmore said, "Important in all buildings is getting to the fire." He explained that most highrises have a stand pipe, system built into the building for the purpose of carrying water to each floor for fire fighting. The firemen carry a "highrise a folded hose ready to hook into a pipe system. They hook their pumper to the stand pipe connection and pump the water. Firefighting is easier when cross-trained to be paramedics.

All firefighters now employed and any future-hired must have a minimum emergency medical technician certification. Some are state-certified paramedics with advanced cardiac life-support training. This is in addition to the state fire fighting certification requirements. Many Palm Beach residents express pride in their town and public concern by making tax-deductible donations to the Town of Palm Beach for public purposes. Ruth Heede and Frances Levin donated $75,000 each last December for the purchase of two modern equipped Mobile Intensive Care Units with medical gear to stabalize a patient while being transported to a hospital facility.

The patient may be a burn or accident victim or a cardiac arrest. Each unit can accommodate two patients. Elmore said that since Palm Beach is a barrier island it is essential to have life threatening emergency medic trucks, which are, in essence, a portable emergency room. Daily News Photos By KIM SARGENT The Palm Beach Firefighters' uniform includes a Nomex Hood, a helmet made of polycarbonate material with impact hat to absorb blows to the head. Elmore said that Palm Beach is a community valued at $3 billion and last year had less than $40,000 fire damage.

He said that he didn't believe any other comparable community in the United States could say that. He attributed the low loss to their fire prevention program which was implemented several years ago as well as to the training and equipment of his department. Milan Pedestrian Young Jeff Sedar had a question to ask his peers instead of the pope. "There's really an important question to ask kids What are they going to be? After that question, I'd tell them to study up and take the right courses," he said. David Lent, sporting a pair of sunglasses, said, "I'd ask him about his prospects of hope for world peace.

And I'd ask him if he would wear a pair of Bluewater optic sunglasses," he said. "Why is he visiting the United States?" Gudrun Geddes wanted to know. "What can a Jewish guy ask from the pope?" Abe Judd asked with a smile. "They should give him all the respect that he deserves," he added. the campaign "This blonde's a brunette."
