WDRB-TV FOX 41 LOUISVILLE City of Seattle to become first in nation with fire department EMTs administering buprenorphine medication in the field The Seattle Fire Department (SFD) is expanding its Buprenorphine Pilot Program and Seattle will be the first city in the nation with a program for firefighters/emergency medical technicians (EMTs) to administer the medicine in the field. SFD paramedics began administering the drug earlier this year, and now an initial group of firefighter/EMTs will be trained as well. This will expand the City's capacity to provide this potentially life-saving medicine to patients who are actively experiencing severe opioid withdrawal. "Providing treatment for people suffering from substance use disorder and addiction is the right thing to do and the smart thing to do. People treated with this highly effective and evidence-backed medication are likelier to agree to follow-up care and conversations, an essential step to breaking the cycle and getting them the help they need," said Mayor Bruce Harrell. SEATTLE OFFICE OF THE MAYOR Missouri firefighters unveil new fire safety video for kids VIDEO: Firefighters want to emphasize fire safety at a young age. The Independence Fire Department is introducing a new fire prevention video designed to inform the youngest students about safety in the home. The animated product is brand new, and will be shared with area schools soon. Firefighters in Independence have seen a challenging year, battling four deadly fires this year. Two of those fires happened on one weekend. Two of the incidents involved the death of children. The animated video is aimed at audiences as young as preschoolers. It's designed to teach the basics of fire prevention, including escape plans to avoid smoke and fire and the importance of working smoke detectors. "This knowledge will empower a child to not be afraid if a smoke detector goes off in the house that's full of smoke. They will have seen this video, hopefully, and instead of trying to hide from it, they will try to escape from it," Independence Battalion Chief Eric Michel said. WDAF-TV FOX 4 KANSAS CITY Milton moves off Florida's coast after lashing state with torrential downpours, deadly tornadoes VIDEO: After making landfall Wednesday night near Siesta Key, Hurricane Milton is moving off the east coast of Florida while continuing to produce damaging winds and life-threatening floods Thursday morning. Even before Milton made landfall as a powerful Category 3 storm, outer bands from the system washed over the state Wednesday morning, sparking up tornadoes and giving residents an idea of the wrath Milton packed. Milton lashed west Florida and surrounding areas Wednesday night, bringing torrential downpours and winds of 120 mph — strong enough to rip the roof off Tropicana Field, a stadium in St. Petersburg housing thousands of first responders. The system is forecast to keep its hurricane status until exiting the east coast of Florida on Thursday morning.
