Fire Service-Based EMS Advocates Recognize National EMS Week
Sunday May 17, 2015 marks the beginning of National EMS Week and presents an opportunity to honor the men and women who deliver pre-hospital 9-1-1 emergency medical care throughout the United States. This vital public safety service is provided primarily by cross-trained, multi-role emergency responders who are based in our nation’s fire departments.
The fire service has a rich history of protecting the health and safety of our communities through an ‘all hazards’ response model that includes the delivery of pre-hospital emergency medical care. Fire service-based EMS providers are located, trained, and equipped to provide virtually every community with timely pre-hospital 9-1-1 emergency medical response and patient care. Firefighter/EMTs and paramedics respond quickly, professionally, and compassionately in communities across the United States …and they do it every day…24/7.

NIOSH: Protect Firefighters During Structure Fires with Collapse Zones

Dear Alums and FPST students: This month’s AIHA Essential Connections has a news item about a NIOSH study concerning establishing collapse zones in structural fires. Their recommendations apply to everyday type incidents, not only major responses such as 9-11.
The second link is to a You Tube video sent to me by a member of my antique car club. The vehicle involved is described as a welding truck, but it may be a flammable gas transport vehicle. Note especially the cylinder off gassing on the ground towards the end of the video. Several civilians are watching from well inside the isolation zone. Looks like another Russian video. They routinely have dash cameras to help in insurance cases.

Firefighter Life Safety Initiative 13. Behavioral Health - New From NFFF

Saving Our Own Takes On New Meaning
By Eriks Gabliks
When a firefighter calls a Mayday on the fireground, we call on every resource available. We spend countless hours training to ensure we take lifesaving action when a Mayday is declared. We also work so our Rapid Intervention Team (RIT) tasks are proficient.
In contrast, what do we do when a firefighter needs assistance and is NOT at an emergency incident? What do we do when a firefighter cannot use one word, like Mayday, to express distress manifested as anxiety, burnout, depression, and other mental and behavioral health concerns? Root factors may be job related such as a firefighter dealing with the death of a small child at a motor vehicle crash, or factors may not be related to the job such as a firefighter having challenges in his or her personal life.
