Bucks Firefighters responded to the large plant at Routes
413 and State Road in Bucks County, less than a mile from the
Burlington-Bristol bridge. The county's HazMat team was also called to the
scene along with mutual aid HazMat.

&nbsp;

The fire started at about 0400 and a large black column
of smoke extended high above the fire. We'll post more details later. Our

 <![CDATA[According to local media, jurors in Longview (Texas) found the maker of a
 ladder truck from which two firefighters fatally fell â and the Kilgore
 Fire Department â equally at fault for the 2009 training exercise 
deaths.Wrapping up an eight-day wrongful death suit, the panel 
reviewed the case brought by the family of Kilgore firefighter Kyle 
Perkins four hours Monday before awarding more than $800,000 in damages.The
 finding that Perkinsâ department was half to blame for the fatal 
accident, which also took the life of fireman Cory Galloway, means all 
but $192,500 awarded as punitive damages will be cut in half.And 
that $192,000 in punitive damages might not stand as 124th District 
Judge Alfonso Charles told the jury the question leading to that verdict
 must have a unanimous answer. The eight-woman, four-man jury voted 10-2
 that fire truck maker E-One was grossly negligent.E-One attorney Randy Aiken said it was unlikely the company would appeal the verdict.âWe
 wish they didnât find liability (on E-Oneâs part),â Aiken said. âBut 
this keeps the damages way down, so weâre satisfied with that.âDuring
 the trial, which began May 3, jurors heard from both E-One employees 
and fire department staff that safety harnesses had not been worn or 
encouraged by company representatives in either sales or post-sale 
demonstrations.Jurors also heard competing opinions on whether the 
latches on the aerial platform doors used on the 2000 model ladder truck
 were sufficient. Galloway and Perkins burst forward through those 
inward-only doors and fell eight stories during the January 2009 
training exercise.Neither man was wearing a safety harness/ladder belt.During
 closing statements Monday morning, defense attorney Keith Slade 
recalled for jurors the 2008 delivery invoice indicating the department 
was aware safety belts had not come with the ladder truck but were 
needed.âBefore the truck was even delivered, the city of Kilgore 
Fire Department was aware and cognizant they were going to have to get 
safety belts and put them in this truck,â Slade said, later adding: âYou
 donât go to the worst-possible, highest risk scenario knowing you donât
 have safety belts.âSlade also noted that, when the four men went up
 in the platform, the overriding, base controls on the truck chassis 
were at the hands of a 6-month firefighter under supervision.âIf you
 hit the kill switch in the base control the power is lost on the 
platform,â he said. âIf someone is doing their job, if someone is being 
instructed to do their job â whenever the platform sits on the 
(buildingâs) wall, and you hear the scraping and the boom, you know 
somethingâs not right. You hit the switch, you take power from it.âPerkins'
 attorney Jack Walker reminded jurors of a string of E-One employees who
 admitted breaking company policy by not using safety harnesses or 
telling potential customers to use them.âWhy are the E-One personnel allowed to disregard their own policy, disregard their own instructions?â Walker asked.He also said the doors, which were redesigned to be stronger in 2006, remain a menace throughout the country.âThe
 city of Kilgore drew the black bean in this instance,â Walker said. âIf
 the doors stay closed, (Perkins) lives. They had one job to do, and 
they failed miserably. But, what we know will not do it is 8 inches of 
aluminum and a slap-latch. And thatâs all they gave these firefighters. 
... We know thereâs 30 more of them out there. You have the opportunity 
to protect the fire industry. (E-One) has a responsibility to those 
firefighters, and they completely blew it." This information provided

 	<title>SCOTT SCBA LEAKY O-RING ISSUES</title>
  	<category>Averted</category>
 <link>http://www.firefighterclosecalls.com/news/fullstory/newsid/162892</link>
 <description>
  
 <![CDATA[

Recently we were made aware of some SCBA Paks that were
becoming frequent flyers to the Repair Shop for air leak issues. The air leaks
were occurring at the point where the bottle and the air-pak come together. The
air leaks would occur upon initial charging of the air-pak and unfortunately
could test out perfectly fine under pressure on the morning inspection and
then leak upon the next actual use when initially charged. Several paks had
been sent in with leaks. A damaged or broken o-ring was found to be the cause
of the leak in each case. The paks had been repaired and sent back into service
only to reappear several days later with the same problem. The Repair Shop
investigated further, pulling the SCBA bottles for further inspection from one
of the houses having a great deal of these frequent leak issues. After
examining the probes on the SCBA bottle, the Repair Shop along with
representatives from Scott determined that there was a high likelihood that
there isnât a problem with the o-rings being used but rather the wear and tear
on the bottle probes was actually tearing up the o-rings very quickly. All of
the first line bottles from that house have had the bottle probes replaced with
brand new probes. Theyâve been in service for about a week now with no further
o-ring issues so hopefully weâve gone down the road of finding the correct
solution. A little more time is probably warranted to make certain.

&nbsp;

Going forward, and since this appears to be a new issue
even for Scott, we will need increased diligence on the part of both the
firefighter and the Repair Shop in addressing this issue.&nbsp; 

&nbsp;

On the Repair Shop side, weâll need to increase our
awareness when we get air-paks coming in for repairs that have damaged o-rings.
It will serve as an indicator that the bottle may actually be to blame.
Especially if it is a repeat repair on the same pack or if weâve seen multiple
paks from a single company it will be an indication for us to pull all the
bottles from that company and do thorough probe inspections/replacements.
Additional diligence will have to come from the Repair Shop as we cycle bottles
through here for hydro-testing. That will be the ideal time for a very thorough
inspection of the area of the probe that is wearing and will warrant a
replacement 

&nbsp;

On the fire house side, crews will need to also clean and
inspect the interior surfaces of the bottle probe. Cleaning will be the
easiest, most effective, and preventative part of that equation because trying
to find and identify the galling and scoring of the stainless steel probe
interior surface with the naked eye is somewhat difficult. Cleaning is
accomplished by wiping out the inside of the probe with a Q-tip dipped in soapy
water, follow by a wipe with the dry end, followed by blowing out any residue
by cracking the bottle and free flowing some air. Weâre seeing that these
probes are collecting quite a bit of dirt in the course of normal use which is
likely contributing to the overall wear.

First letâs start with the o-ring. Here is a photo of a new o-ring versus two that have been extremely worn.                The photo below shows the o-ring location after some air-pak disassembly has been done. The o-ring sits on a post in the air-pak and is not a field serviceable item by the members.The photo below indicates the tapered area of the probe which is there to assist in the alignment of the post o-ring and the probe, and also the actual straight cut o-ring seating area. This seating area is where we identified some substantial scoring and galling on the units that had repeatedly failed.  The last photo shows another area that can receive some damage during day to day operations. If the bottle is forcefully held out of alignment during installation of the bottle into the air-pak, a jagged lip on the internal edge of this face can possibly contact and damage the post o-ring. So try and be reasonably aligned before slamming a bottle home into the air-pak.   ...]]>

 <![CDATA[This comes from Long Island. (Wantagh NY, where Chief Goldfeder gave a great lecture 2 years ago). We were operating at the scene of a 2-car MVA involving a SMART Car and a Ford E-series van on the parkway headed towards Jones Beach. We were all wearing our highway safety vests. All 3 lanes were closed appropriately by an engine, 2 police cars, a chief's vehicle, a tow truck, and 3 ambulances (one of which was in the opposite side of traffic with another police vehicle). Myself and 3 other members were spreading speedy-dry on the road to clean up a spill, while EMS tended to the 2 injured victims, both of whom needed to be boarded and collared. Suddenly, out of the corner of my eye, I saw a civilian SUV coming towards us. Said vehicle had driven around our roadblock, onto the right shoulder grass, cut back into the middle lane (just missing the state police car and the chief's car), and accelerated through our accident scene at close to 60mph, kicking up a cloud of dust from the speedy-dry, and NARROWLY missing myself and the other members. He didn't even slow down to look. The worst part was the vehicle had a flashing blue light on the dashboard and a maltese cross sticker on the back window, indicating that he was a firefighter. Everyone froze in place for about 15 seconds. After making sure nobody was hit, we completed our assignments and "everyone went home". The state trooper asked over his P.A. if it was one of our guys, to which my chief replied "hell no!". The police DID NOT pursue the vehicle, choosing instead to remain at our scene and complete the necessary paperwork. The engine chauffeur (who had the truck across all 3 lanes) didn't even see him until he was past the truck, which was too late to warn anyone. It was one of the scariest moments I've ever experienced in my 11 years as a volunteer firefighter. We found out later that there were no active calls in the departments that served the area that person was heading toward. So he or she apparently just used the blue light to get past the accident, putting his fellows brothers at risk. It is unknown if the police ever caught up to the vehicle, but my chief made notifications to the surrounding fire departments about this supposed member.Just because the road looks closed and "safe", doesn't mean it is! If people want to get through, by God, they're going to find a way. EVEN IF IT'S A FIREFIGHTER. Always keep your head on a swivel, even into the oncoming lanes of traffic. If another car had lost control and struck the guardrail, it would've been VERY bad....]]>

 <![CDATA[A Buffalo fire truck responding to a fire collided with a
civilian vehicle and overturned on South Elmwood Avenue at Chippewa Street this
morning. The driver of the fire truck was taken to a local hospital, but
authorities said they believe he was taken there as a precaution after he was
extricated by Rescue 1. That fire lieutenant was treated and released.&nbsp;The
accident occurred at about 9 a.m., as two fire trucks&nbsp;drove down South
Elmwood toward a fire at 4 Cathedral Park, at Main Street. Both vehicles
approached the Chippewa intersection, but only the first one cleared the
intersection.&nbsp;"The other tried to go around a car making a left turn
onto Chippewa, but the fire truck and car collided in the intersection,"
Buffalo police spokesman Michael J. DeGeorge said.&nbsp;That second fire truck,
an "air truck" that supplies firefighters with their air tanks,
overturned, struck another vehicle and landed on its side against a building on
the west side of South Elmwood, just south of Chippewa.&nbsp;The air truck
suffered extensive damage, but authorities said the building that was struck
sustained only very minor damage.

The Accident Investigation Unit responded to determine
whether any charges could be filed. There have been no charges lodged, DeGeorge
said shortly before noon.

Fire officials said that the blaze at 4 Cathedral Park broke
out in the vestibule of that building, leaving an estimated $10,000 damage. The
cause remains under investigation....]]>

 <![CDATA[&nbsp;Angela Carella: Report: Dispatchers, not cops,  are slow to respond                 Published 09:37 p.m., Saturday, May 12, 2012            

Most urban police departments in the United States try to respond to  high-priority calls in five minutes or less.Rural police departments try for seven minutes or less.But the average response time for such calls in Stamford is  12 minutes.For low-priority calls in Stamford the average response time is  26 minutes.The delay appears to be happening not with patrol officers but in the 911  dispatch center, according to a report by Matrix  Consulting Group, a California company hired by the city to analyze the Stamford  Police Department."Queue time" in the dispatch center -- the number of minutes from when a call  comes in to when it's sent to an officer in the field -- averages eight to 10  minutes, "longer than desired," the report states.Some of the delay could be because Stamford, at 52 square miles, is a large  city geographically, which increases travel time for officers, according to  the report.But it's the queue time in the dispatch center that drives the delays, a team  of Matrix analysts concluded, citing several reasons:Dispatchers follow an "exotic" schedule in which A, B and C squads rotate day  and evening shifts and X, Y and Z squads work midnight shifts. Dispatchers are  not deployed so that more are on duty when call volume is high and fewer are  scheduled for quieter times of day. The lack of coordination "can result in  substantive needs for additional staff," according to the report.Research shows that it is "less productive" to have police, whose skills are  in law enforcement, in charge of dispatch centers, the report states. Centers  operate better when they are run by trained, professional dispatch managers and  supervisors. Stamford's dispatch center is headed by a captain and  five sergeants.The dispatch center does not have a procedures manual, creating  inconsistencies in how dispatchers record calls. If all dispatchers follow a  manual, "efficiency, effectiveness and professionalism" will be improved,  according to the report.One result of inconsistent practices in the center is that Stamford  dispatchers "take considerably longer processing calls in an effort to meet  community expectations," the report stated.A survey of employees showed that half the respondents rated dispatch service  fair or poor. Such a response is "uncommon" for dispatch agencies, according to  the report.There are "significant issues" with how dispatchers use Computer Aided  Dispatch software, the report found. Dispatchers are not trained the same so  there are inconsistencies in how information is recorded.With more efficient scheduling, common training and professional managers,  the center can operate with nine full-time dispatchers, the report concluded. It  now has 28. The Matrix report is preliminary; a Board  of Finance committee will get the final report at an upcoming meeting. Public safety Director Ted  Jankowski could not be reached for comment Friday. At some point police and  other officials will have a chance to comment on the findings.Stamford has enough officers who most often have enough time to respond to  calls, the report found, but patrol units are not being dispatched quickly. Many  police departments set response-time goals for calls, depending on priority, but  Stamford does not, according to the Matrix report.It points to studies that have shown that fast police response doesn't  necessarily increase the likelihood that a crime will be interrupted or a  criminal caught -- that's usually linked to how quickly a citizen  calls 911.The importance of response time has to do with perception, according to the  report. Citizens have more confidence in their police department if the response  is quick when they call.angela.carella@scni.com; 203-964-2296.Read more: http://www.stamfordadvocate.com/local/article/Angela-Carella-Report-Dispatchers-not-cops-3554403.php#ixzz1uwN9L3sT...]]>
