Introduction:
After more than seven months living in Santiago, Chile I go home! During this stay, I could appreciate the difficulty of coping that can be felt when one incorporates another brigade, which is more in another country.
Difficult beginnings:
Pump France "del Cuerpo de Bomberos de Santiago" (CBS) greeted me after a long-term administrative and weighing. Learn English, save, perform all administrative tasks, attempt to obtain a visa, leave his family and friends, as far as integrating the 4 th company were major obstacles.
assistance received from the Director and other remote contacts, a letter was signed (apparently difficult to obtain) accepting as "exceptional" to assist me in obtaining my visa, which arrived in my hands after four months, which delayed all my administrative procedures in France. I could not get the visa before, so I started the whole course in Chile.
barriers encountered on site were not different at the point of view of the difficulties ...
The 4 th company, Pump France Chile:
Pump France is a fire department consisting of four relief centers (the 4 th , Santiago, 5 th , Punta Arena, the 5 th , Valparaiso and Concepcion 3 th) part of the Corps Firemen of Santiago. The 4 th company is located in downtown Santiago where interventions remain the most interesting.
The staffs are all volunteers and must even pay 15 euros a month to practice. The way we work is mainly based on experience. The company expects about one year (operating or theoretical) per month, can be "avoided" with an "apology" to the Captain. The competence of staff is supported by the operational activity that is about one to three operations a day, knowing that the devices of the emergency leave only for the following reasons: fires, chemical interventions, traffic accidents, relief to victims in complex situations.
Each barracks pump France is twinned with a fire department of a French region, military or professional. The 4 th company is twinned with the Fire Brigade of Paris (BSPP). The staff receives so many materials (usually old) Brigade. So at the 4, it is proud of the culture of France and the Brigade, but only in certain areas: equipment, uniforms and "discipline."
The rescue center is more or less a social club where individuals are applying to live foremost a human adventure, as one might do, for example, by adhering to a cultural association. To integrate the 4 th company, not test athletes, no exams, no obligations of any qualifications or skills. Applicants must demonstrate their motivation and "taste for French culture."
Thus it is not uncommon that people overweight and having higher than little technical knowledge, be hired as a firefighter. On this last issue I have been asked several times that the craft was learned on the ground and we could not force staff to know things and to stay physically fit as they were voluntary (volunteers).
But fire does not cause damage based on the ability of personnel at the scene, and an apartment fire with many casualties threatening to throw himself into the void will be almost identical in France that 'Chile where buildings are too sophisticated.
What firefighter would justify a lack of skills in front of a weeping mother is deceased son?
internal life rescue center is almost based on social relations between people. The officers are elected annually and roles create strong controversy within the company. Here, the degree and knowledge of weapons are to be distinguished.
Thus staff, very intelligent and capable, only share their knowledge with little other staff, in order to maintain a superior position compared to his other colleagues. When knowledge is shared, it suddenly "it's like that and not otherwise" that are distributed information and any remarks or proposals generally causes a closed answer.
A heavy atmosphere of "whispering" reign permanently. Some staff were even a sharp taste to bring their colleagues before the Disciplinary Board.
In the night guard is almost impossible to sleep in silence before 3 am and getting up early personal see no downside to wake the others talking and singing ... Personal effects are used without any prior permission and regular flights are carried out.
A good image "permanence:"
The good image of the emergency service is constantly maintained by the Director and the captain and all critical affecting it are severely reprimanded. So I found myself suspended right to publish my old blog ( http://bomberitodelacuarta.blogspot.com ).
Storing the night guard (for example) is actually done before a particular event (a dinner or a visit to a personality) and the work needed to be done in case of extreme necessity: the coming of General released the BSPP to work "pending" for years ...
A sharp taste for the new hardware:
improvements in the 4 th are notable mainly on the perception of new materials. New red and yellow trucks, spears "peacock tail" and other fanciful devices, are the main topics of "advanced" in the Cuarta and we like to compare our material with that of other rescue center.
However, the spears used every month to extinguish the fires are completely reformed, and the divisions that are used every time do not close only partially (forced to join a spear to ward off the flight).
Another profession to live:
Since I did not enjoy any financial aid, I had to pay the company to be a fireman, j 'I had to work. French teacher was the profession that allowed me to "stand" for eight months. Despite my eagerness to apply for various jobs, it would seem hard enough for a French get a job correct in Chile ...
Documentation and Trade:
Before my trip, I got the latest documentation of the BSPP with the invaluable assistance of General and its assistants who have really facilitated the work (and many other approaches) to establish trade documentation to the 4 th , without of course believe that I would change everything, because my goal n ' was certainly not arrive as a "super firefighter French" who knew everything.
Unfortunately, the reality was spot on any other, there was no exchange despite my many attempts at communication. I created a form of feedback translated into English, I presented a draft revision of the sack attack, I wrote a 'duty-holder lance and started a custom documentation technical know-how based brigade and other fire brigades around the world (German, Swedish, English, etc..). These projects have required several months working in constant liaison with interested staff from various places including on the Internet (http://www.flashover.fr) and were presented as mere proposals.
Despite the simplicity of the procedures for acceptance of these documents, none of these projects has been possible. Was very insignificant number of "Cuartinos" (members of the 4 th ) having come to me for exchange of technical subjects.
Thus, little by little, my faith for the research work has been extinguished ...
An unusual experience:
Although my impressions may give the impression that I take with me some very negative feelings that stay, I think that the experience I have experienced is exceptional and I am more than satisfied with my experience in 4 th Fire Company of Santiago de Chile!
From an operational standpoint, I lived interventions that I probably did not live again: Fire colossal wealth, specific interventions very interesting moments "post-earthquake and Tsunami" unique and totally different way of working.
As I have explained throughout my articles, there are many elements that are "reusable" in the European labor. In Chile a few steps to take are the subject of official regulations, giving greater freedom of field research, as saying that many experiments are possible.
From the point of human perspective, I can adapt to a different mentality, which was sometimes extremely difficult. I wish I had the mental capacity sufficient to properly fit in with the mentality of the emergency, but unfortunately I have largely failed.
The problem comes from me and I think another person could probably fit a lot better than I did ... But this failure is not a defeat, and remains an experience that m has improved certain qualities. Patience and tolerance, which were weaknesses before and are now for me of "constants" relatively manageable.
good men to CBS:
After working with several different companies and made a tour of the barracks, I have noticed how the issue office was something strong. I was very well received and fiestas to which I was invited me hinted a powerful siblings in all the companies I visited.
Clearly, the "Bomberos" Santiago love gather to celebrate their friendship. The desire to share strong human adventure is everywhere and you do not miss the opportunity to organize a "rico asado" (a delicious barbecue) to express this sentiment.
This good atmosphere "breathtaking" is, for my part, completely separate from the context of everyday life in the emergency center, even if it is part ...
Conclusions more than positive:
Everything I have written in this article is only my personal opinion and it was likely that another person would have lived otherwise.
Out put negative impressions I had from the perspective of the mindset of appearance of the company, my opinion is still incensed by the joy of being able to share these moments with another class of firefighters . The experience I have lived is unique and I do not regret!
I feel like I have a much broader vision of themselves around me and how lucky I have had in integrating the BSPP, and that to be French.
Thank the pump France and thank you the 4 th company Santiago fire.
