UL FSRI and IFSI release a NEW online course: Evidence Based Approach to Reduce Your Cardiovascular & Chemical Exposure Risks

Access the course here: https://bit.ly/2DZKWQ6

Smarter decisions and healthier habits can help reduce your risk as a firefighter to both cardiovascular and chemical exposures. Due to today’s construction practices, and the use of synthetic materials in furniture and building products, firefighters are being challenged by a different fireground hazard than in previous generations.

UL FSRI and IFSI Research have designed this FREE 1.5 hour course to help you better understand how to operate in today’s Fire Service while also reducing your risk to the two leading health issues facing firefighters; namely cardiovascular events (heart attacks) and chemical exposures related to carcinogenic risk (cancer).

After taking this course you will be able to:
- Recognize how thermal and chemical exposures on the fireground can have an impact on your health as a firefighter.

- Relate tactical choices and conditions on the fireground to possible cardiovascular and chemical exposure risks.

- Examine how firefighting operations may impact potential trapped occupant exposure and survivability.

- Discover how firefighting assignments and activities on the fireground can influence physiological responses.

- Develop ways to reduce exposure by using evidence-based techniques and decontamination methods on turnout gear and skin.

Thanks to our research partners from NIOSH National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health and Skidmore College for their contributions to this project!

MN Firefighter Initiative shared Yorktown/Mt. Pleasant Twp. Fire Department's video.

2 weeks ago

Take a few minutes to watch this amazing video.

https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1435509953246764&id=104290189350

Yorktown/Mt. Pleasant Twp. Fire Department
Over the past month Yorktown/Mt. Pleasant Twp. Fire Department has worked in conjunction with Hayden Goldsworthy owner of Hayden Goldsworthy - Wedding Films. He was an absolute pleasure to work with and is locally owned and operated. PLEASE share this to your personal page and ask everyone on your friends list to do the same. We want it to reach many.

We have produced a film that is a take on the Lip Sync Challenge. For those of you that do not know this is a challenge going around between many different fire departments and police departments. We then used this format to hopefully bring awareness to a very real, emotional, and shocking truth going on in public service right now.

The only thing we ask is to please help us make this message span as far as possible. If it helps one person, regardless of who or where then it was well worth all the efforts put in by everyone. There is a Public Service Announcement and Thank You page at the end so please take a few minutes and watch all the way through.

A special thank you also needs to be given to Delaware County Emergency Medical Services, Yorktown Police Department, Salem Township/Daleville Emergency Services, Richland Township Fire Department, Farmland Volunteer Fire Department, and Bvfd Stoneycreek.

Thank you as always for your time and consideration, Yorktown Fire Department Membership and their Families ... See MoreSee Less
