Dedication of military fire Fighters after fire fighting training
Abstract
The Military Firefighter's profession requires good physical training due to high-intensity activities during occurrences, along with environmental factors that influence physical performance, such as dehydration after fighting a fire, adequate hydration is important for recovery of liquids lost. In order to do so, it was necessary to evaluate the level of dehydration after a firefighting training in Fire Brigade of Santa Catarina. Eight firefighters of both sexes, aged between 18 and 59 years, participated in anthropometric variables of body weight in kilograms (kg) before and after the training called "Extreme behavior of fire, actions for combat", held in a container that reached a temperature of approximately 700° C, the firefighters remained in position for 10 minutes crouched holding the hose to perform the thermal equalization. All equipped with personal protective equipment. To verify dehydration level, the dehydration protocol proposed by ACMS was applied, the data analyzed in excel 2010 and applied to descriptive statistics. The result showed signs and symptoms of pre-dehydration, mean water loss of 0.61% and rate of sweating of 45 ml / min and 100% of firefighters did not ingest water before training, 75% reported "dry mouth" sensation and thirst after. It is concluded that if in 10 minutes of exposure to heat, under these conditions there was a water loss of 45ml / min, in 1 hour it would reach approximately 2.7L / h. dehydration value. Therefore it is essential to ensure adequate hydration before and after firefighter activities.
