We had a structure fire on Riverland with 2 patients transported to RMH. This picture was taken well after the fire was extinguished and we were able to bring two of the firefighters back to the scene after they were recruited to drive medic units to the ER.

Recently we had the Beckner family join us for a weekend breakfast. As always, it was good to see Chief Beckner's "MaMa", his sister and brother in law as well as Zack and Kara.
We had EMS competencies this month which was hands-on skill based. Scenarios were given for first arriving BLS Engine to start treatment and then turnover to Medic units. Joe had airway Look, Listen and Feel with Miss Brock showing him where to start (Joe I am kidding)
As you can see Randy was wanting to get his hands-on since he was done setting the cones up in the street. I was actually surprised Randy got that close as he was convinced the mannequin was going to vomit.
Young Compton was back for half a day to assist Randy and Adam. It looks like Randy was still having some trouble with the hands on.
Randy turned out to be very useful in the hare traction scenario showing Compton what he would do if they were together on a Medic unit together. Don't worry too much Josh, Randy will get you all the equipment you need. You may have to yell and be ready to catch but he will get it to you.
Here Adam show Melissa a technique on using a cravat when you don't have a ankle hitch. I think Adam likes tying people up anyway??
As class was concluded Miss Brock ended with a video that "captured" Randy and Joe's undivided attention.
I want to apologize to all the readers of this blog for the large gaps between posts and hope to have smaller gaps in the future but no promises. A lot of things have been happening in the last month and I was not able to be there for it all. Until next time . . .
