| We Key the Mic for Liquid CO2 Decontamination
Author: Key the Mic Staff
Exposure to toxins while on the job is a certainty for firefighters. Rinsing turnout gear on-scene, using disinfecting wipes and showering, along with washing turnouts in detergent are all important steps to removing toxins that may adversely affect firefighter health. According to NFPA, traditional methods for washing turnout gear removes 15%-40% of carcinogens from turnouts. But what if there was a way to remove 99% of the toxins that get on firefighter gear? Now there is. Join us for a conversation with Mike Duyck, Vice President of Emergency Technical Decon (ETD). He’ll share the science behind liquid carbon dioxide (CO2) cleaning and how it removes 99% of the carcinogens left on turnouts, masks, helmets, SCBA and more. read more |

| Sitka Fire Department extinguishes car fire on Halibut Point Road A Chevy Suburban caught fire and burned on Halibut Point Road on Friday evening (2-19-21). The owner had just returned home after having the Suburban's alternator replaced and saw smoke coming from under the hood, according to Fire Chief Craig Warren. The man turned off the engine and went inside to grab tools. When he returned, the car was on fire, and he dialed 911. Warren said when the three emergency response vehicles and 13 responders arrived on scene, the Suburban was "engulfed in flames from one end to the other." They extinguished the fire, but the damage was too extensive to determine its cause. No other property was damaged, and no one was injured. KCAW 104.7 FM PREVIOUS STATE NEWS |

| 30 years ago: 3 Philadelphia firefighters killed in One Meridian Plaza fire VIDEO: Today marks 30 years since one of the worst high-rise fires in Philadelphia history. The deadly fire at One Meridian Plaza took place on February 23, 1991, across from City Hall, where the Residences at the Ritz-Carlton now stands. Firefighters David Holcombe, Phyllis McAllister and James Chappell lost their lives battling that blaze. The cause of the fire was traced to rags soaked in linseed oil left by workers. The fire started at 8:23 p.m. on that Saturday night in 1991. Arriving firefighters were met by flames shooting from the 22nd floor. They were also met by a series of mechanical failures inside the 38-story building. Elevators stopped, backup generators failed and a crucial internal water distribution system called a standpipe actually choked off water pressure. "They had a complete failure of all the fire protection systems and the electricity to the building, which allowed the fire to spread unchecked," said then-Philadelphia Fire Commissioner Roger Ulshafer at the time of the fire. WPVI-TV ABC 6 PHILADELPHIA 75 firefighters dispatched to blaze in Louisiana, two vacant homes destroyed VIDEO: Crews with the Shreveport Fire Department were called to put out a fire in the Highland neighborhood on the morning of Tuesday, Feb. 23. The call came in just before 6 a.m. to the 400 block of Jordan Street. That's in the same block of Woody's Home for Veterans. The first crew to get on the scene arrived within three minutes. At the scene, crews found two vacant homes on fire. A second alarm was called. In total, 75 firefighters were called in to fight the blaze. A total of 25 fire units were on hand, including five south Louisiana fire tankers. Crews from St. Tammany Parish, Lafourche Parish, West Feliciana Parish Fire Protection, and Bunkie Fire Department were on the scene to assist, according to Shreveport Fire Department Chief Scott Wolverton. The fire hydrants on the street, which would be normally used to fight the fire, do not currently have enough pressure due to the severe winter weather that passed through the area the week of Feb. 15. WAFB-TV CBS 9 BATON ROUGE Minnesota company earns verification, becomes only cleaner to use CO2 to clean toxins from firefighter gear A Twin Cities company is doing something that hasn't been done anywhere else in the country, and it's all to take better care of our first responders. Emergency Technical Decon (ETD) uses a new cleaning process using liquified carbon dioxide to get rid of toxins from gear that firefighters wear, including boots, leather gloves, jackets and helmets. Jon Wikstrom started thinking about the idea three years ago. He built the lab in a warehouse in Eagan. Last month, he says ETD became the only verified cleaner in the country that uses this process after being certified by a third-party, nationally-recognized laboratory. "We need to do something good with the technology," Wikstrom said. "We knew this firefighter industry needed it." Wikstrom says cancer is the number one cause of death among firefighters. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) says chemicals are emitted from even regular household products when they burn – toxins that end up in firefighter gear. KARE-TV NBC 11 MINNEAPOLIS MetroHealth System part of new Ohio pilot program that puts doctors in ambulances, virtually A new nationwide pilot program is putting doctors inside ambulances virtually. The MetroHealth System has partnered with three EMS agencies that provide emergency care to bring virtual care via video visits with a doctor in the back of an ambulance. The Emergency Triage, Treat and Transport (ET3) agreement between MetroHealth, the Brecksville Fire Department, Life Care Ambulance and North Central EMS, is designed to offer more focused care for patients who call 911. It could mean a trip to the emergency room or a virtual visit with a MetroHealth emergency physician. MetroHealth officials believe the result will be better care for patients, fewer ambulance trips to the hospital and lower out-of-pocket costs. When a patient calls 911 and an EMS crew responds, typically that patient is taken to a hospital emergency department. Under ET3, the crew on the scene will complete an assessment of the patient to determine the immediate needs and what level of service is needed. WEWS-TV ABC 5 CLEVELAND Kentucky fire department honors high school shooting victims with new truck VIDEO: There is not an expiration date for honoring those lost to tragic events. That is why a local fire department has come together to honor victims of the Marshall County High School Shooting in 2018. The Possum Trot-Sharpe Fire Department dedicated their new truck to Bailey Holt and Preston Cope. It happened behind Sharpe Elementary School Saturday morning. The new truck has both of their pictures and signatures designed onto both sides of the big red truck. Fire Chief Rick Pershing said his team had the idea after buying the truck from South Dakota. "Being able to see a tribute on this truck that services this community especially Sharpe Elementary where both Preston and Bailey went to school, it will be a healing for everybody," said Pershing. "Those that have looked at it so far have agreed." The fire department invited the families of Preston and Bailey to a private viewing of the truck. WPSD-TV NBC 6 PADUCAH PREVIOUS NATIONAL NEWS |
