The Secret List is an independent newsletter produced since 1998 by Chief Billy Goldfeder in an effort to bring forward the issues involving injury and death to us...often issues that are ignored, quickly forgotten or just not talked about.
TSL is e-mailed at no charge and produced as time allows. With the attitude that in order for us to survive the dangers of the job, they must learn how we have had "Close Calls" and even been injured or killed, TSL brings forward issues in an effort to enforce that philosophy-and get us to refocus on "what's important."

[The Secret List archives listing] EMS LODD-Helicopter Crash & Big Buck FD Payout (The Secret List)
May 11, 2008
Hey...
University of Wisconsin Hospital personnel are confirming that 3 people have died when a UW Med Flight hospital helicopter crashed near La Crosse last night. Med Flight left Madison around 2030 last night to transport a patient to a La Crosse hospital. After dropping the patient off, the helicopter left around 2230 hours. There was no other radio communication from the crew. The last message was a software signal sending confirmation that the aircraft took off. The crash site was found around 0845 this morning about 4 to 5 miles away from the area airport. Preliminary results show that the helicopter may have struck a hill or trees. Details to follow later. Our condolences to all affected.
FIRE TRAINEE INJURED-CITY PAYS $1.8 MILLION:
Seattle (WA) has ended its efforts to fight a lawsuit it lost in 2004 by paying about $1.8 million to a firefighter injured during training. Firefighter Kevin Locke, now a department dispatcher, was critically hurt after passing out and falling from a ladder during a 2000 training accident. His attorneys argued successfully at trial that those running the training class were negligent for failing to provide adequate breaks, including water breaks, during the warm summer weather, leading to the heat stress that caused Locke to pass out on a ladder and fall. Jurors awarded Locke $1.8 million at trial, but the city fought the judgment, appealing all the way to the Washington State Supreme Court. Here is a link to more information, details and opinion:
Take Care-BE CAREFUL.
HAPPY MOTHERS DAY TO THE SECRET LIST MOMS.
