Chemical Suicide A property manager discovered the body while checking on the renter who had not be seen in awhile. A note was found nearby indicating a hazmat team was needed. The North Little Rock Arkansas Fire Department Hazmat Team responded. The team removed a bucket of chemicals that had been mixed together in an apparent suicide attempt. Although most chemical suicides occur in cars, responders should be on guard for a possible chemical suicide on all EMS, runs including man down or welfare check type calls. In many instances, but not all, the victim has left a warning note for responders. Although responders should always look for the presence of a note, don’t bet you life on the kindness of stranger. Stay alert, and when in doubt, don your bunker gear and SCBA.
Don't Back Down to The Cops, When Blocking traffic, Its the incident commanders job, to protect his crew.
Civilian death caused between 2 responding fire apparatus results in quarter million dollar settlement Thursday, January 28, 2010  - Houston City Council approved a $225,000 settlement to be paid to the family of a Houston cyclist killed in a crash between two fire trucks last year. Leigh Boone died two weeks after the March 2009 crash at the intersection of Westheimer and Dunlavy. The trucks, as it turned out, were speeding to a false alarm. Boone was standing on the corner with her bike when a ladder truck rolled onto her. The family's lawyer said his clients also have sought action on preventing future such accidents. “What we do know is that there has been a specific focus on the policies in making sure these type of incidents don't happen again,” said Donald Kidd, with Perdue and Kidd, LLP. “And there has been that level of assurance that gives some level of comfort to the family.” The family of the woman killed by two colliding Houston fire trucks will get a cash settlement $225,000. How lucky we got on 01/14/10 nobody got killed.
