The Secret List www.FireFighterCloseCalls.com

It is with deep regret that we advise you that a crash in West Union, Clark County (IL) has killed EMT Richard Poorman, 52, in the Line of Duty, patient Stephen Daugherty, 45 and critically injured others.

EMT Bill Crumrin with West Union EMS was driving the ambulance, transporting a patient and another EMT, Richard Poorman. A pickup truck entering from a side street slammed into the ambulance. Both the patient and EMT Poorman were thrown from the vehicle. Poorman was transported to Memorial Hospital in Crawford County where he was later pronounced dead in the Line of Duty. The patient was airlifted to another hospital. That patient’s condition is unknown at this time. Stephen Daugherty who was in the pickup truck was airlifted but was also pronounced dead. A second person in Daugherty’s pickup truck also had to be airlifted to an area hospital. As always our sincere condolences to all affected.

MARYLAND FIREFIGHTER FALLS OUT OF RESPONDING APPARATUS

A Volunteer "red hat" Firefighter (probationary who rides but cannot operate interior) from Prince George’s Fire-EMS, Chapel Oaks VFD, fell out of Engine 838 while they were responding to a reported building fire this afternoon. The Firefighter was not wearing a helmet or bunker coat but thankfully has suffered only NLT injuries. Apparently the apparatus was a Seagrave with some claiming it is an historic door latch issue, but, odd’s are, the use of a seat belt would have prevented the problem of the FF falling out, door latch problem or not.
