Why Do Firefighters Continue To Die?
Posted on Leatherhead Mafia 11 hours ago
We routinely say that we would lay our lives down for our fellow brothers and sisters. We sometimes take certain things for granted. When people ask us how many firefighters die each year, we routinely say 100. Let’s think about this number… over the next 10 years we can potentially lose 1000 brothers and sisters and close to a million will be injured. Why have we accepted these numbers?

Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation for EMS
Posted on Fire & EMS Leader Pro 14 hours ago
The use of UVGI in the fire station environment for sanitizing and decontamination has several attractive features. UVGI light is clean and green (no potentially harmful chemicals that require special use and protective equipment). There are no dangerous odors or residues from harsh cleaning agents to affect staff or patients and offers decontaminated spaces can immediately be reoccupied (less downtime for ambulances).

Changing the Fire Service Culture
Posted on Fire & EMS Leader Pro 2 days ago
But changing a fire service organization’s culture is not as easy as changing the type of hose that your department carries on its fire apparatus. That’s because making changes to the culture—that mix of rituals, values, and traditions that defines a group—is tricky business and frequently messy. The current culture persists because it’s one of the main ingredients in the glue that holds the organization together. Culture exists in the “space” between people, not just in any one individual or small group of individuals.

Video: House Fire…The Fire Critic Weighs in on Improper Ventilation Technique
Posted on Fire Critic 2 days ago
I have something to say. Many ask why I don't weigh in on actions and tactics I see in videos I post on FireCritic.com. This is one of those times I CANNOT stay silent. Fast-forward to 3:50 in the video for what I am talking about. This is NOT a correct way of ventilating a roof. Most of you know I am not a "Safety Sallie". Our profession is inherently dangerous, we need to operate as safely and effectively as possible.

Cellphone Searches and Stipends
Posted on Fire Law Blog 2 days ago
Today’s burning question: My fire department gives firefighters a stipend of $125 dollars a year to cover the costs of various text messages they send us and any work related calls we make/receive. Does this give the department the right to search our personal phones?Answer: No, a simple stipend would not – in and of itself – authorize a fire department to “search” someone’s cellphone
