Helping First Responders

The article “Ill-Equipped Rescuers Digs Out Volcano Victims; Aids Slow Reach to Colombian Town” written by Bradley Graham provides information on the eruption of a volcano taking place in Columbia. Moreover, the eruption caused a major outcry in the city Armero, Columbia leading to the deaths of thousands. Throughout the article Bradley Graham described his sightings throughout his journey from people dying one by one and how the city was completely devastated during this event. However, he sought to see something that had inspired him to write this article. It was a female child stuck within the depths of the water fulfilled with mud and water shown on “The article also relates the

The word “Hero” has many different labels. In “ Heroes Versus Sociopaths” Andrea Kuszewski explains what she thinks the word “hero” means to her. In the article she also talks about sociopaths and what they mean to her. Towards the end of her article she starts to compare and contrast heroes and sociopaths so you can have a better understanding. She quoted, “ They are people who possess extraordinary traits of altruism - selfless concern for the well-being of others - even at the expense of their own existence”, talking about heroes. A hero could be any person in any type of situation. If someone says “You are a hero”, or “You are my hero”, those phrases have two different meanings. Being a hero has 3 different meanings to me; first, a hero could be someone who is willing to put themselves at risk to help others, someone who is willing to sacrifice anything to help others, and finally a hero could be someone who has changed or affected your life in any positive way.

Good afternoon. I am here to help fight for the cause to save your lives. Imagine this; you are taking a test in one of your classes. Then you hear a gunshot and the entire school goes into lockdown. Your friend, or sibling gets shot, while in the hallway, but for your own safety, you can’t leave your hiding spot. When the criminal is finally arrested, there a dozens of people who have been killed, injured, or fatally injured. All because of one man with a gun. Do you really want your life to be at risk because there is no law banning assault weapons? Do you want to walk down the hallway in fear of someone coming at you with a gun? According to an article from the Washington Post, written by Christopher Ingraham, the president/founder of a public opinions research, the ban on assault weapons lapsed, or expired, in 2004. This resulted in an increase by 183% of shootings and by 239% of deaths by guns. Obviously, this is a problem, that both puts people’s lives at risk and makes some live in fear.

The major response objective for the fire department is to provide initial response to all emergencies of one engine company consisting of a minimum of three firefighters within five minutes and not to exceed seven minutes 95% of the time. A second objective for the fire department is to provide a second engine company within 10 minutes from initial response 95% of the time. For this to happen, it is fundamental to ensure that fire department vehicle maintenance process is always effective. This can be achieved by developing a comprehensive program that takes

George Mason, the co-author of the Second Amendment to the Constitution once stated, “I ask, Sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people. To disarm the people is the best and most effectual way to enslave them.” Freedom from slavery is the reason many people came to this country, and the right to bear arms is a fundamental part of this freedom. Gun control is a type of slavery that many people do not recognize. Civilian possession of handguns should not be banned in the United States.

The first attempt and success to climb Mt. Everest occured in 1953. Since then, almost 4,000 people have been able to scale the mountain, but over 230 people have not been able to climb it successfully. There is a chance of accident or death when climbing this mountain or any dangerous activity. All people should should have the right to rescue services even if they knowingly put themselves at risk because there is always a chance of an accident happening, rangers are there to save people in danger, and there are rescue vehicles being produced to be used in case of an emergency.

The definition of a firefighter is “a person whose job is to extinguish fires”, however that just scratches the surface of the many responsibilities of a firefighter. A firefighter can fight a fire and also make an emergency medical call if need be. The work of a firefighter is dangerous, it can include collapsing buildings, emergency medical situation, and in extreme cases, even death. A firefighter needs to have a variety of skills such as evacuate fire structures and treat victims, suppress and extinguish fires with hoses pumps and additional apparatus’. Not everything a firefighter accomplishes involves fighting fires, and saving people, they also act as role models for the younger generation, and the community. A firefighter may have to participate and give a lesson in

Could we have had less casualties if we, our nation, was better prepared? After having several years to research and look back many would agree that yes, we could have done better. A few problems that arose during 9/11 included being unprepared for large incidents, not being able to communicate with various locations and multiple people frequently, and not meeting standard operating procedures at the ports.

Me: Hello Mrs. Salvarez my name is Daniel Fermin, and I wanted to know if I may ask some questions.

3.Which of the following is typically NOT a responsibility of most emergency medical responder s?

First Responders put their life on the line for innocent people everyday. They are the first ones to arrive on scene bring help or supplies to those in need. Those responder are Police Officers, Paramedics, Firefighter, Emergency Dispatchers, and Military Personal. Many people do not realize the amount of stress that being a first responder can put on a person.

On 6/19/16 at 2341 hours my partner, Officer Acosta #0044, and I were working patrol assigned to unit 3A22. We responded to a radio call of “shots fired” in the area of 101 W. Washington Bl.

Often we are faced with an A or B decision. How do we truly decide which one is better for the greater good? If you were asked, who is the best NFL Quarterback in NFL history? Tom Brady or Joe Montana. The reality is both are great and both deserve high praise. The or in the question makes people choose between two things that often both are extremely critical, or in the case of the QB question, both are great, no need for an or, it should be an and. The same argument can be used for this question. The bottom line is both all-hazard first responder preparedness and R&D efforts will be critical for the success of DHS and how terrorist hazards are handled.

Support is plentiful as to why West Coast Post Trauma Retreat is the proper solution to choose. It meets all of the criteria that was set forth. It is able to treat not only the mental health issues associated with PTSD, but they are also able to treat any co-dependencies that may also plague the Responder. It is the most cost efficient, especially for the types of services offered. The fact that insurance is accepted pushes the program over the top. First Responders are extremely low paid and most work several jobs to make ends meet. Time away from work will be costly enough, they certainly don’t have money to pay out of pocket for many of the other expensive programs that are offered across the nation. They will

others, whether we like it or not. This does not make the way people in
