We want to send out a sincere thank you to members of the Dubuque Drug Task Force. Tonight they went over different drug-related hazardous situations that we may encounter on a fire scene or medical call. This is a good reminder to be diligent when responding to scenes, with observations and wearing our appropriate PPE (Personal Protective Equipment).
Thank you to Craig Enke for spearheading our confined space entry and rope equipment and procedures.
Thank you to Chris Tigges for updating our apparatus maintenance forms for more accuracy and accountability.
Thank you to Lisa Latham for updating us on some EMS equipment changes.
