Why do some Fire Departments send both a Fire Truck and a Rescue Unit to the calls they respond to?

Posted by admin on May 19th, 2010 and filed under fire rescue | 4 Comments »

In the city were I live Albuquerque, when there are Rescue calls the Fire Department sends both a Fire Truck and a Rescue unit a majority of the time to medical calls. Is there a logical reason for sending both units even if it is a sick call or down and out. I can see the reason for sending both to a car crash but for minor medical calls I don’t get it.

Many different reasons make up the logic. First Say they run on the medical call and the person is 600lbs+, alot of manpower is needed, second alot of time when somthing is called in you never know until you get there what it is, I have ran on a call that came in as "sick person" then you get there and it was a cardiac arrest. Third and best reason is that way if you get a fire or wreck call while your on the medical you have both units together, and have all the manpower from the station together without having to run back to station to switch units then turn around and drive right back the way you came. Hope this makes since, It does to fire personelle who have actually had to do this, saves time.

Search and rescue Fire fighter?

Posted by admin on May 15th, 2010 and filed under fire rescue | 1 Comment »

i have been thinking of doing search and rescue for the fire department. how long would it take to get to that position?

I’m a vol firefighter in IL, i have had at least 2 years of training to be certified,that probably is close to the min. but if you want this job plan on going to school off an on for your whole career

Is it legal for fire and rescue to post pictures and info from an accident scene?

Posted by admin on May 12th, 2010 and filed under fire rescue | 1 Comment »

My Girlfriend was in an accident and in less then an hour one one of the fire and rescue had posted pictures on facebook denoting the injuries of those involved

Pictures maybe because it is in a public place and an accident responded to is generally a matter of public record.

But reports of injuries MAY be medical records, and certainly the names and details would then be confidential under HIPAA. She should download the information, ask the person to remove it, and then talk to an attorney if she wants to take action.

Alternatively a complaint to the fire department would probably provoke swift action.

If this person is a paramedic or involved in treating her, then I’d say for sure they are deep trouble and likely to lose their jobs over it. If not, at a minimum it’s pretty unprofessional and the person is going to be ‘read the riot act’ by his superiors and told to take it down and never do it again.
