The Gray Area: Firefighter Rescue and Hazmat
Fire Engineering
For many responders, calls for a suicidal person are becoming more the norm than the exception. Ingestion, hanging, laying across train tracks, electricity, and weapons are common methods people employ to end their lives. My neighboring agency has trained a team to deploy an air bag at their local bridge, which is famous for jumpers.

For many responders, calls for a suicidal person are becoming more the norm than the exception. Ingestion, hanging, laying across train tracks, electricity, and weapons are common methods people employ to end their lives.

Most municipal jurisdictions dispatch several units for an alarm of "smell of natural gas" inside a structure – and for good reason. The consequences of a leak finding an ignition source in an enclosed structure can be catastrophic.
