NEW: A group of Good Samaritans save a driver in Minnesota from his burning car after he got in a crash on the I-94 highway. The driver was stuck in the burning vehicle and couldn't get out. The group who pulled him out said they were getting hit in the face by the scorching…
I'm hanging on to this video to illustrate something important: when your vent is the right size, the pressure will be relieved in other openings. So this one is too small. Maybe it was good at first then progressed to this. So it also illustrates another important point btw...

Bill speaks up for kids. Some things should transcend politics. This is a critical issue that calls out the insanity going on. This has zero to do with respecting all adults to make their own choices & treating them with respect.
I'm half happy that Elon is out there informing Americans they should have kids. But the other half of me is like: it's even more important to stay married, put your family before your work, and accept Jesus. I think it's just economics to him.

I've said this before and it's not my original idea but it's worth saying regularly. Spend 20% of your time training. This means in a 24-hour shift, you need to get almost 5 hours in. This is much more than most fire fighters are used to but 🥺. It's what has to happen.
🫣 This is thought provoking. Apperantly the LEO had a strain or sprain leaving him helpless on the curb. If he was putting in rigorous training time he would have identified this injury earlier. But then the chimers would be like "the training is too dangerous".
"At first, members would complain when they were called to the training grounds..."

1. Executives in DFD are hourly? 2. Execs need to be judged on their effectiveness as leaders, not their time usage. But those 2 things are probably correlated. cbsnews.com/amp/colorado/n…
Is this called "excited delirium"?

The answer is both.

"You can't manage up." This quote is making the rounds in my department. 🤮
Various medics I've worked with have a tendency to lecture patients about mistakes they've made in life, how they keep making them, and how they keep leading to medical emergencies. I don't know why this made me think of that 😉.

Whenever people spill their guts, you have to do some work to figure out which part his heart and which part is shit. It all comes out bundled together.
At some point(s), on this journey called life, you discover that you haven't been pulling your weight. Not enough quality time with the family, not enough training, too much social media, not eating well, etc. It's called being human. There's nothing wrong with you.

@FireMedic40NJ @TalkChock You’re not wrong, but I can say the same thing about cable television. Micro-learning can be an effective way to reach young generations on mobile devices. We should weaponize these vices to reach the members. They aren’t going away.
@TalkChock Yes Yes Yes as well as lawyers and Human Resourses!
@490910W @TalkChock I get the LPG. Those other things aren’t in OUR HazMat response SOP.
@firestopper77 @TalkChock You don’t run hazmat tech level then bc we run white powder calls, unknown liquids, etc. I’m talking about operating in that area as a hose line trying to grab victims to remove get a needle through the glove..
@firestopper77 @TalkChock Drugs, needles, human waste etc..
@Eason011 @FireMedic40NJ I miss paper charts....electronic was supposed to be easier....but its just easier for the admin. Side of things
EMS is a grind. That’s the nature of it. It’s work. WORK! It’s dirty, bloody, exhausting, physically and mentally demanding. The hours are long. The pay is mediocre. You’re exposed to disease, violence, and death. What did you think it was when you signed up? The job is the job!
Just surreal. I'm so stoked to see this in print in April's issue of @fireengineering. Special thanks to the entire FE Team, @smokedaddy5, @DianeRothschil1, and my big brother @frankriccidc for co-authoring this with me. #fireengineering #fdic2024
@TylerLayneMusic @CBS6 I have a great idea for monument avenue. A police monument, a firefighter monument, and each branch of the military monument. Adds value back to the district and is something all citizens can be proud of. Problem solved.
