Five for Friday (CRS Update, Free Stuff, Extrication Webcast)

No comments

Here is the new weekly column on BoronExtrication!  It’s called Five for Friday.  Five for Friday will recap 5 different extrication news topics and sometimes sprinkle in items like the Fire Critic’s 16 Days of Swag!

1. Firehouse.com presented a webcast by Michael Daley called Vehicle Extrication: Entry and Disentanglement Skills.  The great thing that Firehouse does is allow users to go back a watch the presentation again or for the first time if you missed it.

2. Download the latest Moditech Crash Recovery System (CRS) data update released on August 1st. The update contains a lot of new vehicles, such as the Audi A6 Hybrid, Dodge Dart, Fiskers Karma, Infiniti JX, Porsche 911 and Subaru BRZ. With the addition of the new Prius PHV and the Toyota Prius C the Prius family is now also up to date again. Make sure to update your systems.

3. 16 Days of Swag by the Fire Critic.  The Fire Critic is giving away free fire gifts every other day for 16 days straight.  Throw your name in the hat once per day and gain more entries.  http://woobox.com/cdtbx8

4. Jörg Heck will be hosting a chat on Tuesday August 14th from 18: 00-20: 00 UST (which is 14:00 -16:00 EST) and he will answer “Current vehicle technology” questions on Weber Rescue’s Facebook page.  Two small issues to work around for those of us in the United States is the language and the time.  However, the power of the Internet allows us to translate different languages with the click of the mouse!

5. A USA Today article titled Cars safer for passengers – but not first responders made the rounds on the fire service websites yesterday.  If you have not read through it yet, I would take the time to give it a once over.   The author, Chris Woodyard, did some homework and put together a good piece.  Not a bad article to have floating around city hall!

University of Extrication Vehicle Rescue Update for 2011 (Webcast by Ron Moore)

No comments

If you missed Ron Moore’s University of Extrication Vehicle Rescue Update for 2011 on Firehouse.com on 4/29/2011 you are in luck!  This free webcast training that was sponsored by Amkus Rescue Systems is available on Firehouse.com until 4/28/2012. 

It’s a known fact that the field of vehicle rescue and extrication is rapidly changing. The constant introduction of new model vehicles, new vehicle technologies, even new rescue tools and techniques have become the new norm. What’s the latest update with airbags? What do you really need to know about the Volt and Leaf electric vehicles? Are you able to tackle the challenges of advanced steels in vehicles today? Join Ron Moore as he presents a unique and interactive University of Extrication on the newest and most critical items that responders have to be aware of today. Bring your questions and Ron will bring the answers.

Moore broke the webcast down into three topics: Airbags, Hybrids, an update on changes in the use of steels in vehicles.  This was a train the trainer webcast and was worth every second spent listening and watching the carefully selected slides.

Responder Safety Visor Card for Emergency Vehicles

No comments

One of the FireEMSBlogs.com team that I was lucky enough to get to know a little was Tiger Schmittendorf. I noticed on Facebook tonight that a link was posted from the Emergency Responder Safety Institute that Tiger commented on about.  Tiger created the Responder Safety Visor Card. The card shown below provides a vital reminder for setting up temporary traffic control at a glance. Print it out and put it in the map book or in the visor.

The decisions made by the initial responders in the first 15 minutes of a roadway incident are critical to the safe operations and the quick clearance of responders and emergency vehicles from the roadway. This webcast examines the first arriving emergency unit’s duties and the importance of a “windshield” size-up. Jack Sullivan will discuss methods for developing an incident action plan and estimating the time required to clear an incident while coordinating with other agencies.

Make sure you also check out Firefighter Netcast tonight at 9:00 EST for Taking It To The Streets.  There were some server issues last night at Blog Talk Radio so the netcast was postponed until tonight.
