The Gray Area: Firefighter Rescue and Hazmat
Fire Engineering
See publicationFor 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. When weapons are involved, we correctly stage for obvious reasons and defer to law enforcement experts. However, should we be as cautious with chemicals as we are…
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. When weapons are involved, we correctly stage for obvious reasons and defer to law enforcement experts. However, should we be as cautious with chemicals as we are with weapons? This is an important question because as the number of calls for suicidal individuals grow, so, too, does the choice of chemicals as a means of death. The answer to this question is yes—we must exercise caution, but we don’t always have to wait for hazmat experts.

A Mysterious Gas Emergency
Firehouse
See publicationNatural gas leaks that result in explosions are a real and present danger in the fire service. 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.

University of Colorado School of Medicine
The University of Colorado Firearm Injury Prevention Initiative (FIPI) is taking new approaches to educate on secure firearm storage after research shows that firearm owners often trust law enforcement, military personnel, and firearm retailers to share messaging on responsible firearm ownership and injury prevention compared to physicians or medical professionals. To expand the conversation, FIPI is now working on two new projects with firearm businesses, industry professionals, and military installations.

University of Colorado Firearm Injury Prevention Initiative
A primary focus of the University of Colorado Firearm Injury Prevention Initiative is to work closely with communities, including firearm owners, to prevent firearm injuries and deaths. Research shows that firearm owners often trust law enforcement, military personnel, and firearm retailers to share messaging on responsible firearm ownership and injury prevention compared to physicians or medical professionals. These findings have led FIPI to take new approaches for partnership and education on secure firearm storage. FIPI faculty and staff are working on two new projects with firearm businesses, industry professionals, and military installations to expand the conversation on the role secure firearm storage plays in saving lives and preventing injury.

Firehouse Training
Honored to have spoken at the Continuing Challenge Hazmat Conference in Sacramento, California last week, where I discussed key elements of terrorism response for firefighters, including the coordination of services and resources.💣 We explored the complexity of deploying multiple apparatus and specialized units to urban centers during suspicious package incidents or white powder threats. 🚒 The discussion emphasized the importance of having the right balance between fire, hazmat, law enforcement, and medical units to ensure a safe and effective response. A coordinated multi-agency effort is crucial for navigating these high-risk scenarios and protecting our communities. 🇺🇸💥 #FirefighterTraining #ContinuingChallenge2024 #HazmatPreparedness #UrbanSafety

Stone Busailah, LLP
Did you know? ↓ Armed Correctional Deputies (ACDs) can carry concealed firearms nationwide under the Law Enforcement Officer Safety Act (LEOSA). But there are specific rules you MUST follow to stay protected… LEOSA supersedes California state law—so no need for a CCW! However, you still can't carry on private property (or in places) like Disneyland or Dodger Stadium if there are restrictions posted. For our Correctional Deputies (CDs), LEOSA doesn’t apply, but you can still carry with a valid CCW. 👉🏼 Just remember to stick to California’s concealed carry laws: • Always ensure you're in compliance with your department's firearm qualifications. • Stay clear of private property or places with posted firearm restrictions. Stay safe, stay informed. 💙 #DefendingThoseWhoProtectOthers #lawenforcementofficers #policedefenseattorney #policecommunity
