I'm an AHA CPR Instructor... I will have to find out when the AHA will offer this "UPS" Course. It might be some kind of Tactical CPR! lol

EMTBravo.net The ORIGINAL & Local Emergency Services Forums & Online Community For NYC's Northern Suburbs Celebrating Our 5th Year Online! THANK YOU SETH and EVERYONE who has played a role in our Online Community.

While hard at work last night... I watched an old episode of CODE RED. I noticed all of the Fire Apparatus including Helmets and Turnout Gear ALL said LAFD and not Fire Authority as mentioned. That must have been another show? CODE RED was without a doubt LA County Fire.

Nothing like a MACK! Great Fire Apparatus, I wish MACK would go back to Fire Apparatus. GOOD NEWS!

God bless the AirCare EMS crew - RIP!

The team had been deployed to the home after a suspect inside called 911 and claimed to have murdered three family members. As the team entered, the suspect opened fire, striking Officer Simmons and a second officer. Both officers were immediately transported to Northridge Medical Center, where Officer Simmons succumbed to his wounds approximately 30 minutes later. Officer Simmons had served with the Los Angeles Police Department for 27 years. He is survived by his wife, two children, parents, and three sisters. Agency Contact Information Los Angeles Police Department 150 N Los Angeles Street Los Angeles, CA 90012 Phone: (213) 485-3586 Our Thoughts and Prayers go out to the Police Department and the Family of Officer Simmons!

Very Sad, RIP!

Oddly enough he has NO Martial Arts training what so ever as The Journal News and News12 reported. He was a Champion Wrestler for Hendrick Hudson HS. I know we have a member of EMTBravo who is a Mount Pleasant Police Officer. I hope he and any other PO's involved are OK? Dealing with EDP's are very dangerous! More Police Departments should issue TASERS to Officers. BE SAFE!

RIP Edward P. Mueller

GREAT PICS!!!

Canceling Responding Units? POLICE: Should a Police Officer/Police Dispatcher cancel a responding Ambulance or Fire Apparatus to the scene of a call if he/she feels they are not needed? FIRE: Should a Fire Chief who is responding and not yet on scene cancel responding units to a report of a structure fire,smoke in a structure, car fire, car accident, etc if notified by dispatcher the alarm has been downgraded? (i.e. reported structure fire extinguished by the homeowner) Should you keep everyone coming in? What happens when you do cancel a unit or all units and you get on scene to find smoke showing or a working fire? Whoops! EMS: Should a Fire Chief who is not a CFR, EMT, or Paramedic cancel Advanced Life Support? Another question... Should an EMT cancel Advanced Life Support that has been dispatched to a call because they feel it's BLS? As EMT's we can however why not keep them coming in? Obviously a broken right toe I might cancel ALS. lol But maybe the broken toe was because of a 35 FT fall? HMMMMMM Yes, a bit extreme... but do you get a feel for what I mean? Any liability involved if you do cancel ALS that was dispatched and the patient condition goes bad? Why not CYA and let the Paramedic evaluate the patient if ALS is dispatched and responding? We have a lot of Fire Chiefs, Captains, Lieutenants, and Senior FF/EMT's both Career and Volunteer here on EMTBravo, I asked the questions just to get a feel of what YOU would do? Some agencies have a policy once a unit is on the road and responding you CANNOT cancel them. Your thoughts? GO GIANTS!

As NYPD would say "KEEP EM' COMING CENTRAL"
