Doing good PIO deeds this morning here at NBC24 (WNWO) in Toledo.
It’s really amazing to see how much a smaller news station can accomplish especially with the right people and the right technology.
Special thanks to Angi Gonzalez (@AnchorAngi) and staff at NBC24 WNWO.
Still in Region-V baby!
City & County of Honolulu: Ambulance accident w/ patient on 07-12-14.
Here’s the initial picture from the incident.

Few things to review:
1. Good reminder to check your “Maximum height is ****” plate on your rig.
2. Law enforcement officials should really know the area, including height clearances.
3. Even if Police are leading you out, Fire/EMS should always be aware of your surroundings.
4. Social media is fast and information pertaining to your ongoing situations will always be faster than a PIO.
5. I can already see it now: “Dear Chief, I don’t know what happened…”
6. Crews should have their seatbelts on at all times while the vehicle is moving.

Thoughts and prayers to the initial victim of the first emergency call.
I hope the leadership in Honolulu figure out the issues at hand. Emergency Service Professionals need some rest.
Breaking down the social media mojo this morning in Miami County, Ohio in FEMA Region-V baby!
Lots of great questions so far…
…also a few questions about my T-Rex arms too.
After class, I’m looking forward to my detail at Tipp City Fire today.
Wait a sec…
You can get fired for posting an Instagram picture even without a patient in the picture?
Instagram post (Cort of ABCNews.com)
Apparently Katie Duke (RN) was fired from New York Presbyterian Hospital because of her Instagram post was deemed “insensitive”.
We talk a bunch about this my PIO/Social Media classes right?

Again I ask, can you get fired from your job because of an Instagram post?
Guess so…
Want to demo a bridge this Saturday?
Thanks my PIO friends at ODOT. #kaboom
Controlled Demolition of Old Innerbelt Bridge to Take Place July 12
Watch LIVE at Cleveland.com or wkyc.com
Hold on to your hats! The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) and Trumbull-Great Lakes-Ruhlin (TGR) are pleased to announce that controlled explosive demolition of the steel skeleton of the 1959 Innerbelt Bridge will take place at first light on Saturday morning July 12.
Controlled demolition will drop five (5) of the nine (9) steel spans of the old bridge. The team which includes Joseph B. Fay Company and Controlled Demolition, Inc. has used a mixture of both traditional demolition along with the “controlled” – or explosive – demolition method. The bridge railings, lights, barriers and concrete driving surface were all removed using traditional methods. Specific spans over the river and railroads were also disassembled in a traditional manner. Concrete piers will be demolished this summer using traditional methods.
The plan protects the businesses that operate from the Flats as well as people living and working in the Tremont neighborhood.
Members of the public are invited to watch the event live at www.Cleveland.com or www.wkyc.com. Due to limited view-sheds, only a small public viewing area near the corner of East 14th Street and Broadway Avenue is available. The area will be accessible beginning at 5:30 a.m. on Saturday, July 12. Paid, public parking is available in downtown lots – a short walk from the viewing area. Even better, ride with our friends at RTA! The #19 bus provides direct access to the site. Visit www.rideRTA.com for more!
A 1,000 foot perimeter will be set around the blast zone and many local roadways including I-90, the Lorain-Carnegie Bridge, Abbey Avenue and others will be closed during the event. For a map of anticipated closures and closures times, please log-on to www.Innerbelt.org.
ODOT is in the midst of replacing the 1959 bridge with two new structures – one to carry traffic in each direction. The pair have been named in honor of statesman George V. Voinovich. Replacement of the 1959 bridge is vital to the success of moving people in and out of downtown Cleveland now and in the future. It will enhance capacity, bolster our economy and ensure the safety of motorists. The first of the pair is now open and temporarily carrying traffic in both directions until completion of the second new bridge in late 2016.
Members of the public with questions or concerns are encouraged to call the Innerbelt hotline at 216.344.0069 or email info@Innerbelt.org.
In this view, Tremont is to the left and downtown is to the right. The spans marked in yellow will be demolished using the “controlled” demolition method on July 12.
Why do news reporters still say “tuned in”?
When was the last time you actually turned a dial to adjust your AM/FM radio frequency?
Stay tuned…
How about them apples!
If you aren’t monitoring social media…
Now do you believe me?
Where is @rusnivek?
