Scott Nichols Unless I missed it somewhere they failed to point out the MCI Triage protocols dictate exactly what this medic did, as hard and heart wrenching as it had to be. Those of us in the field understand this, but this headline was obviously written for shock value and to generate more advertising clicks.

Wm Holman Risk benefit. It all comes at a cost to municipalities. Sad to see that the city had to take the measures they took and disband the fire service as part of cost cutting measures. When lives matter, what is the cost. Glad to see the efforts of Mr. Starling are getting out there, and people are healing. Need to keep in mind the mental health needs of the first responders. Job Well done brother.

Jack Kimmel Glad to have put my 25 in and got out. Old school was if your bunker gear was not crusty, you were at a slow fire house or a pansy. No telling what we came in contact with.

Tony Sirgedas The information is out there from multiple studies. It is time for departments to stop "studying" and take action.
