Hey....
A Texas Firefighter, who was injured while operating at a structure fire in Bulverde, received skin grafts Monday and is expected to be home from the hospital by this weekend. FF Monty Johnson, who works full time at the Kerrville FD and part time with the Bulverde FD, received 3rd degree burns Friday night at a two-story structure fire. FF Johnson was descending a staircase in the residence when a ceiling collapsed on him and he suffered burns to his neck.
MO. FIREFIGHTER LODD/TORNADO:
We have funeral service arrangement info for Firefighter Tyler Casey of the Seneca (MO) Area Fire Protection District. FF Casey was involved in assisting residents in emergency evacuation during storm spotting duties when he gave his life. He leaves behind a 2-year-old daughter and an expectant fiancée.
Tragically, he lost his life warning his area residents to evacuate from the very storm that took his life. While this is an unusual and very "locale specific" Firefighter duty, it is clear that FF Casey was trained, qualified and assigned this duty, and his actions clearly lead to the saving of lives. More details to follow.
Visitation for FF Casey is on Friday, May 16 from 6:00PM to 8:00PM at the Racine Christian Church, 12218 Highway K, Racine MO. Funeral Services will be held on Saturday, May 17 at 2:00PM, also at the Racine Christian Church. Burial will be in the New Salem Cemetery near Racine.
Firefighter Casey's service will be with Full Line of Duty Firefighter Honors and we will provide information on Wednesday afternoon for emergency responders who would like to participate in the service with apparatus.
Information Contacts will be Michael Banes at 417-388-1965 or Michael White at 417-483-2069 and you may also email at mww@mwhitefire.com .
WI. EMS HELCOPTER CRASH/FD MEDICAL DIRECTOR & HELO. CREW:
A public memorial service for two of the victims of the UW Med Flight crash will be held on Thursday at 7 p.m. at Monona Terrace in Madison.
The service was organized by the families of Dr. Darren Bean and EMS Pilot Steven Lipperer. Also killed in the crash was flight nurse Mark Coyne, whose family has not yet announced plans for a service.
A memorial fund will be established in Dr. Bean's name, and Lipperer's obituary suggested that memorials be made to the Dane County Humane Society. Dr. Bean was the Medical Director of the Madison Fire Department-amongst other community and medical related duties.
EXCELLENT DISPATCHERS:
"The head of the baby is already out"....the words of a very excited father in the middle of a rain storm on the Capital Beltway as his baby girl is born right next to him on Monday morning. Moments later he is screaming to the 911 call taker, "The baby is out"...as heard on the below audio recordings.
Montgomery County (MD) Firefighter Matt Markett, assigned to fire communications, expertly takes control of the situation. Firefighter Markett calms the father down, gives him instructions and stays on the line until crews arrive on the scene.
All are now doing well...thanks once again, to a professional and caring fire/EMS dispatcher-a responsibility many of us in the field have limited understanding and appreciation for...and thanks to Dave Statter911 for that excellent info. Here are the 911 call and the radio traffic recordings:
