Research on Best Practices on Miami Fire Department
Introduction
Miami Fire department has been planning on the best ways of improving the fire department to be among the best in Florida, USA. In its process of coming up with the best innovations that will be geared towards making the fire department more efficient during the fire activities, the department has come up with a change. The new innovation involves the application of drones in the fire department operation in the whole region of Miami. The application of drones has both positive and negative impacts on the Miami fire department and the general location of the region. Though at a higher likelihood, the drones will be more helpful as compared to the other methods that have been used in the past for the operations. As such, this research study intends to give an insight into the significant ways in which Miami Fire Department operations can be improved to be the best in Florida.
- Sacramento Metropolitan Fire district
The issue of handling emergency operations has become a significant issue in every region across the world. For instance, the standard operating procedures that have been developed always reflect the same target but have different operation mechanisms (Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District, 2019). Many operation procedures have been enacted in the USA to handle the fire or any other emergency in the world. Sacramento metropolitan fire district is one of the standard operation procedures in the USA, which have been used for quite some time. They have unmanned aerial vehicles that mainly serve the purpose of helping during the emergency cases along the district. There are many ways of handling emergency situations when crises occur; however, the existing standard operating procedures must be followed. Despite the existing differences in the operation procedures, there are those that are common across all the other SOPs.
The primary purpose of these standard operating procedures is to help the region in receiving the required response during the occurrence of fire or any other emergency activities. The process of coming up with the best services is always what defines the best SOPs that can be applied during the operation. Alternatively, the operation procedures enable the society to come up with the best services that are geared towards getting a faster response, providing aerial observation during the occurrence of the events, and during the other times (Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District, 2019). The operation of these procedures have clearly outlined the major definitions that are mainly followed during emergency activities. The definition of the activities that should be conducted the occurrence of an emergency activity is what defines the strength of activity during such events. As such, the measures that are taken before and after plays an essential role during such events.
Sacramento Metropolitan Fire district procedures are not the best as they have weaknesses as they are not clear on the actions that are taken. For instance, they have mainly focused on the actions that should be taken during the occurrence of the event, ignoring the actions that should be taken before the event occurs. Thus, this explains the need for actions that should be taken to prevent the vents of fire or other accidents from happening. The actions mainly help in defining the nature of the environment and how people can be made to understand how to prevent accidents from occurring. For example, many activities happen in society, which is termed as accidents of emergencies. Though, society has not focused on the actions that should be taken to educate the masses on the processes of controlling the activities.
Miami’s idea of applying drones comes as one of the ways of solving the major issues of emergencies. For instance, there is a need for the actions to be shifted for better outlining of the responses that have not been provided in the procedures. The idea of drones will solve a lot of Sacramento Metropolitan Fire district standard operating procedures by including the use of drones as one of the actions. Thus, it could help in defining the significant actions that could be taken before and after the event of the accident.
- Fairfax County Government
Fairfax County Government is a manual that is mainly used in ensuring that primarily aim at promoting the safe, effective, efficient, and lastly lawful operation of UAS with a significant objective of maintaining community trust (Fairfax County Government, 2019). It is essential to have a proper operation that mainly focusses on community rights and ensures that it works in accordance with there expectations. The Fairfax County Government manual ensures that the public is at safe hands when the unmanned aircraft services are done. They help in maintaining a good flow of the work to ensure that the standard operating procedures are perfectly followed. They have therefore played an essential role in ensuring that the process is perfectly followed during the process, and good management is done to ensure that the community receives the required level of awareness before and after the occurrence of such events. The respective authorities need to ensure that society will have a better way of operation that will be effective for the society to create better operation procedures that are geared towards awareness.
Unmanned aircraft operation systems are designed to operate from any location or environment. The fact that they unlimited in terms of their operations means that the activities of the community can be compromised by there operation. This, therefore, means that they can impact the community in terms of privacy, which is against there significant aims in the process of conducting the operations in the regions. These activities have, therefore, affected most of the operations in many places, which can be a way of helping but also impacting many of the people because they are not informed about the actions. However, society is not limited to actions, but they deserve to be informed on the idea of UAS operations at there places (Fairfax County Government, 2019). More notably, they need this to be aware of the happenings in the society due to weather changes and other factors that might limit the services o cause accidents or other emergencies.
Public education and sufficient training of both the community and the authorities that are responsible for the events is the best option (Fairfax County Government, 2019). The training plays an essential role in making the community aware of the current happenings or what might happen in the future because of the existing operations that need to be solved among the community members. The actions need to involve the community at a significant rate. It can involve the community through the process of attending the community meetings, which will help in sharing the information. Besides, the country can show demonstrations that involve significant action and why they are taken to solve the existing challenges in the community.
The introduction of drones to the Miami fire department will make it one of the best as compared to the Fairfax County Government because drones do not have the unmannered operation terms. They will make it easier for the operation process to be conducted without interrupting the operations of the community procedures. Though, this does not mean that they won’t be interrupted on the privacy of the community. Take off instructions will be issued by the instructors easily because they will be in charge of the aircraft. Therefore, through drone technology, it will be easy for Miami to practice every activity that will be needed for better operations.
- Fairmount Fire protection district
Fairmount Fire protection district standard operation procedures or manuals mainly aim at leveraging the existing UAS with new technology to enable the handling of the situational analysis and awareness to the public (Fairmount Fire protection district: Small Unmannered Aircraft Systems, 2019). As such, by so doing, the economy mainly focuses on the major processes of increasing safety and awareness in the existing society for a better community towards the operation of UAS. The actions are mainly done during the emergency services to enable the people to be able to solve and manage the situations for a better future better handling of the emergency cases. As such, when preventing and solving such circumstances, it becomes easy by incorporating the current technology that will be mainly drone technology. A good number of industries have recommended the role of drone technology in the current world. Though, it is not accepted at all the locations because of the major challenges that exist in many locations. Most of the people have been thinking about the issue of privacy of the society, forgetting to think about their safety without that privacy is essential.
The application of drone technology mainly solves the situations of the area that has been affected through three major missions. More notably, through the 360 degrees assessment of the region affected, the responsible authorities are able to assess the impacts of the calamity that has occurred (Fairmount Fire protection district: Small Unmannered Aircraft Systems, 2019). Either fire or any other accident that has occurred. Besides, through 360 degrees, the area affected can be covered, and the correct measures are taken. The fires that occur can be classified as either wild and other types of fires. This is because the area has been under observation and covered with the drones. Thus, by watching on the occurrence of the fire, the fire department can easily identify the causes of fires or any other accident that may occur. Alternatively, drones are likely to play a significant role when considering the situation of some of the dangerous locations. It will be easy to conduct an inspection in such regions. Collecting information also becomes an easy way as the location of the region becomes easy to identify because the drones can go anywhere on that location.
Miami fire department has introduced the action of technology on the regions in Florida to come up with drones that will be able to solve the existing challenges for better awareness creation to the locations affected. Also, they felt that the community at some pint needs to be informed on what is happening because of the impacts of the situations as well the expected challenges that come as a result of the new technology of drone being implemented to Miami as well as other locations. There is a huge difference when executing such laws and innovations that will be implemented in society as they need to be conversant with the processes. It is a good discovery that they have made that will be able to solve the existing challenges and make Miami better in investigating the cause of the fires as well as other accidents. Though the Fairmount Fire protection district has a key difference as their mode is through training and educating the masses. Training and education are the most essential through they do not play such an essential role during the investigation.
- Loss of Angeles fire protection UAS policy
Loss Angeles fire protection UAS policy has been designed to create a purpose having good information that will help the economy of the united states be able to come up with ways of controlling and preventing the fires and other calamities that may occur in the economy (Loss Angeles Fire Protection UAS Policy, 2019). There is a huge difference when coming up with the best ways of solving the existing problems to make the people understand as compared to implementing the solutions. Despite that, there might be some differences in various standard operating procedures, but the community will always remain a subject that will have to explain to every detail to understand. Loss Angeles fire protection UAS policy’s main objective is to come up with the best ways of gathering helpful in coming up with such cases for better solutions. As such, the operations are mainly limited to the aspect of collecting data and information, not to care about the community who will be affected by the processes. Therefore, the fire department needs to value the community in the activities that they conduct even if they are for the benefit of the community.
Alternatively, the Loss Angeles fire protection UAS policy mainly aims at creating a higher level of situational awareness that will be able to control the happening of fire and other risks and also managing the situation during the event and afterward. A research by Thomas (2002) has affirmed that most of the standard operation procedures mainly aim at solving the events after the loss has happened. It is, therefore very essential that the economy invests in good options that will be able to help the community in coming up with the best ways of preventing, controlling, and managing the situations after they happen. Through the gathering of the information that is helpful with the help of the drone technology, it will be easy for the economy to come up with the correct way of handling the situations and coming up with helpful assessment (Loss Angeles Fire Protection UAS Policy, 2019). It also becomes easy to do disaster management assessments, which are mostly geared towards a better future in the economy. Therefore, through current technology, it is easy for the economy to come up with ways of handling the fire and other crises.
Miami fire department has set the standards that have distinguished its operations from the Loss Angeles fire protection UAS policy. For instance, through this policy of Loss Angeles fire protection UAS, the fire department can collect data and apply it to the process of solving the existing small problems through data collection. When it is compared to the Miami UAS, there is a huge difference as Miami mainly focusses on technology and how to use that technology to help the people understand the significance of disaster assessment and solutions. It is through the technology of the drone that the community will be able to understand the exact causes of the challenges and to solve them. Also, through the images that are sent from the UAS, the speed of assessing the crisis becomes high. Thus, implying it will be easy to solve such challenges and give the community the required output. Drones will fasten the process of investigation for the best solutions to be implemented. More especially, it is easier to create a visual analysis through the conclusion, which forms the basis for the process of subjecting the results. Therefore, through drone technology, a lot of discoveries and innovations are expected to arise.
- Seattle police department UAS system
The major of the operation manuals of the Seattle police department UAS system is to create safe, efficient, and lawful acts that aim at the better operation of the police department during the cases of emergency. Alternatively, the department was established to use the UAS in protecting the property of the citizens constitutionally based on the existing laws during any event of an emergency or accident (Seattle police Department UAS System, 2019). As such, the police force’s major function and responsibility are to save lives and ensure that the dangers that may occur are detected, and the right measures are taken. As such, the application of UAS services has continued to grow in the economy of the USA and other regions globally because of the advanced technology in the process of emergency response. For instance, in the catastrophe like a hurricane of Katrina, if there were such advancements, then a lot of lives and properties could have been saved.
The process of operation of such challenges involves creating more time for the process of leadership and ensuring that the safety and other rights are well protected. For example, at all costs, the operations of UAS should apply the laws and rights to ensure that the process does not harm or limit the community’s individual and personal rights (Seattle police Department UAS System, 2019). The protection of rights should be the key factor in ensuring that the process of saving the lives and property of people is done well. It can also be through the decisions that are made by the operators during such a process. Though at the event of the emergency case, there is a lot of o confusion, the operators should be keen to make the best decisions to solve the existing challenges. Therefore, during the event of an emergency, all the images and videos should be maintained to ensure that the process goes better according to the laws that exist on the rights of the citizens.
Seattle police department UAS system, when compared to the Miami fire department, there is a huge difference because of how the UAS is applied at the two places (Seattle police Department UAS System, 2019). The standard operating procedures of the two are very different. Both have factored in the issue of the employees but at different levels. For instance, the Seattle police department UAS system has ensured that the operators observe the rights of citizens to save the lives and properties of people. On the other hand, the Miami fire department has factored in the issue of qualification of the employees, which brings another important factor in the process. For instance, the qualifications are what determines the strength of the decisions made and how fast they will be made. Therefore, there is a difference in the issue of drones and their management to save the lives of people.
What can be done to improve the Miami Fire Department?
Miami has implemented the best decisions towards the application of UAS in its process. For instance, they have covered the issue of qualification of employees and their role in the performance of the firms. Besides, through the training that is involved in the fire rescue team, a lot of positive impacts have been felt to the people of Florida and surrounding (Miami Small UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE SYSTEMS (sUAS), 2019). The drone technology is one of the best technologies around to help the world come up with ways of saving lives and protecting the property of citizens. All the other standard operating procedures have concentrated on creating awareness and better response teams. As such, the Miami fire department should invest in advanced technology and include the community in most of there directives.
Conclusion
To sum up, with the fact that drone or UAS technology is essential in the emergency response team cannot be ignored. More notably, drone technology has been increasingly applied in most of the regions in the USA. Hence, its presence in most of the standard operating procedures. Therefore, the Miami fire department on the process of implementing better technology should include the community in all their surveillance activities.
