Me and the Bay Guardian, seeing eye to eye... Link to Fire Dept article
what's most amazing about the issues that article brings up is that the solutions are really imbedded in training and cluture change... stuff that doesn't really cost that much.
I always wondered why, when someone fell and cut their arm and called 911, a Fire Engine and an ambulance showed up at same time, sometimes two trucks. Because they're required to have 2 paramedics around, and an ambulance only holds one, as does a fire truck.
As a NERT , I know how important fast response is, and what an important job Firefighters do... but all this stuff seems like it's time for some cultural changes.
