Fire-Rescue Critical Issues Discussion

The following medics responded to the group’s invitation, and participated in a lively discussion

Joe Aldworth, City of Madison Fire Department, (608) 266-4201, jAldworth.com.net

Mike Dobson, Sacramento County Fire Department, (916) 636-1800

Thomas V. Lyons, Jr., City of Clifton, NJ Fire Department, (973)471-7288, tvlyons@aol.com

Ken Hines, Garden City MI Fire Department, (734) 422-1416, khines@gcfd.org

Jerry Allen, Murrieta Fire Department, CA, (909) 677-5511, murrfire@e22.net

Keith Gault, Sacramento Fire Department, (916) 264-8100, gault@inreach.com

The discussion generated the following talking points:

Location is extremely important. The last/next sign seen can be the only location information provided. Tenth mile markers are useful, but clear standard signage is needed.

The mechanism of injury provides important information, and layman’s terminology is acceptable.

HAZMAT information is critical.

Information status boards are useful for informing motorists.

Route closure is a critical process, which is done to protect responders and victims.
