Note these areas, either on a map or in a department database. Look for old vs new construction, as well as lightweight materials. Know the building construction for the different areas in your district, know the residential vs commercial. This is done by getting out of the fire house and learning your first due area. So, where does scene size up start? It starts before the incident even comes in. Does this Sound like a call you have been on in the past? A good scene size up will set the pace for this scene and let your incoming resources know what they have and that they will most likely be going to work. When you arrive on scene you find a two-story, wood frame, single family dwelling with Heavy smoke showing. You and you crew respond and like most days, this should just be another routine call, right? While approaching the scene you see a column of smoke, you realize this is a working job.

In addition to ignoring the weight guidelines, ignore all of the marketing photos of babies in diapers that “look” like they fit them perfectly. Diapers are not like onesies that stretch as your baby grows. And using too small of a diaper is a major, major cause of leaks. Like we said above, sizing is based on more factors than just weight.

This creates a pocket that helps lock the pee in until the next diaper change.

Similar to the above, simple adjustments to the front panel can make your baby’s diaper more customized to their body.

Where the tabs land and how tight they need to be or the angle they need to be at for the best performance is based on you customizing the booty wrapping to your baby.

It’s like flooding when there’s a downpour and the ground can’t absorb the rain fast enough.ĭiaper ruffles help hold things in to give the core more time to absorb, but they have to be fluffed outwards. Pee comes fast and furious sometimes and even if the diaper core is completely capable of absorbing every last ounce, if it can’t do it quickly enough - you have a leak.
