| Juneau fire department prepared to transport coronavirus patients Capital City Fire Rescue is prepared in the event it needs to transport coronavirus patients to the hospital especially when the cruise ships start arriving in Juneau. Fire Chief Rich Etheridge said on Action Line that this situation isn't anything new for the department. "It's a different disease, but we've survived the SARS Flu and the Swine Flu and all those other ones, but anyone with the flu, we use these same kinds of precautions." The chief explained that they decontaminate between every transport and they have respiratory protection. The department received a state grant last year to fund hoods equipped with HEPA filters for ambulance crews. They are also equipped with an isolation pod that can be loaded into ambulances. Chief Etheridge said the hospital has isolation rooms that he believed could accommodate up to five patients. Emergency shelters acquired by the city and borough's emergency services office over the years provide the ability to set up a mobile hospital that would accommodate up to 150 patients.

| Fire caused $52M in damage; New Jersey town says new rules will prevent another arson Developers who are looking to build new projects in Bound Brook will now have to pay for increased security measures at construction sites after a destructive Main Street fire in January that investigators have said was purposefully set. The borough committee last week unanimously passed the new ordinance, which will be added to its construction code, that will require developers to have 360-degree motion detectors and video surveillance, along with a physical security guard, on-site at all times once there are flammable materials, like wood, at the property. "Because of the fire, I felt it was very important to tighten up security at the building construction sites," said Mayor Robert Fazen. The new ordinance, which was drafted by the mayor, comes about a month after a seven-alarm fire destroyed two apartment buildings that were under construction and two other buildings on Main Street on Jan. 12. NJ.COM Arizona fire station may close in May due to labor dispute A fire station south of Tucson that services about 5,000 residents is set to close by May unless union members and the company that owns the station come to an agreement. Nico Latini, president of the Old Pueblo Firefighters Association, the union that represents Rural Metro firefighters in Pima County, said Station 81, at 966 E. Hughes Access Road, south of Tucson International Airport, handles around 1,100 calls annually. Closing the station would double response times, Latini said. Rural Metro Fire does not have mutual aid or automatic aid agreements with the Tucson Fire Department, meaning other Rural Metro fire stations would have to respond to calls in the South Nogales Highway area. The two closest Rural Metro stations to the area are Station 71, on East Benson Highway near South Alvernon Way, and Station 82 in Sahuarita. Travel time between Station 71 and Station 81 is 12 minutes. ARIZONA DAILY STAR Southwest Ohio lawmakers introduce alternate PTSD treatment bill for first responders A pair of southwest Ohio lawmakers want any workers compensation claims for a first responder's post-traumatic stress disorder to be paid from the state's unclaimed funds program. A bill submitted for introduction by Ohio Reps. George Lang, R-West Chester Twp., and Niraj Antani, R-Miamisburg, offers an alternative proposal to the first responder PTSD bill overwhelmingly supported last month by the Ohio House. The bill will be formally introduced at the Ohio House's next session on March 24.The bill would provide full coverage for PTSD without an accompanying injury under the Bureau of Workers' Compensation (BWC) but the $44 million startup costs for PTSD coverage would be paid for by the Ohio Department of Commerce's Division of Unclaimed Funds. DAYTON DAILY NEWS Fire department in New Mexico aims to help firefighters with stress management after traumatic calls There were 103 reported suicides by firefighters nationwide in 2017. It's a startling number, according to the Ruderman Family Foundation, which last year published a study of first responder deaths that found suicide, not deaths in the line of duty, are the greatest peril firefighters and law enforcement officers face. That's why the Carlsbad Fire Department has begun to focus on how to provide support and resources to its personnel via Critical Incident Stress Management training. "This is a dangerous job, but suicide should not be part of it," said Carlsbad Fire Department Chief Richard Lopez. "We want to do what we can to help my men. We can't be oblivious to the issue." According to the New Mexico Department of Health, Critical Incident Stress Management — or CISM — refers to programs and interventions designed to address the mental, emotional and physical stress of repeatedly witnessing and responding to traumatic events. CARLSBAD CURRENT - METERED SITE Promoting literacy in the digital age; Utah firefighters read to students on Read Across America day To celebrate Read Across America day, St. George firefighters visited elementary schools Monday to read to students in an effort to help promote the importance of reading. In celebration of Dr. Seuss' birthday, Read Across America is a reading initiative held annually and was first incepted in 1997 by the National Education Association. According to a 2019 report published by the National Center for Education Statistics, one in five American adults are not sufficiently literate, which can cause lifelong consequences. Promoting reading at an early age is becoming increasingly important due to a number of digital temptations fighting for the attention of today's children, said Amy Mitchell, executive director of elementary education and Title I. "The digital age has also been a hurdle. A lot of children would rather play a video game than pick up a book and read," Mitchell said. ST. GEORGE NEWS PREVIOUS NATIONAL NEWS |
