Oops - Better Pay Attention Next Time to the Cops!

I was the crew chief of our QRS unit that was responding to a call. The driver got "tunnel vision" and drove into 5 feet of water AFTER blowing past a police officer who was blocking the road.

Manual Stabilization? We Don't Think So!
   
Thursday, June 25, 2009
-
This photo shows a FF about an hour after the patient was transported to the hospital and the cops had finished their investigation.  The wrecker operator is slightly taking the pressure off the stabilization block so the FF can push it away with a 2 x 4.  This is just before the wrecker removed the car. While most hazards are secure, USE CAUTION when trusting the wrecker operator, the wrecker cable and the potential for any FF anywhere getting hurt well after the incident is essentially over.

Just A Reminder:
MAKE SURE YOUR INSURANCE FOLKS WILL COVER THEM BEING RUN OVER.....
......FROM A MEDICAL, LIABLE AND LEGAL STANDPOINT.
MAKE SURE ALSO THAT THE:
Driver
Officer
Chief
and the President and Board Members of the FD are totally covered, protected and without liability (Get it in writing).
Odd's are, they won't fall off....but what if they do.....

Trailer Home Turns into 2 Story? WTF
   
Wednesday, June 3, 2009

You won’t believe it. It is a 2.5 story site built home (complete with pipe chimney) built around a single wide mobile home. The last time we experienced it, we had a working fire. Obviously it posed some unique ventilation, fire attack, and overhaul problems.

Yes - that really is a life sized stuffed horse that was found in a recent fire by the Huntertown, IN FD.  Last year the nearby Fort Wayne FD found a life-sized YODA in a basement of a house fire.
