Pretty sure fire turnout gear isn’t rated for water rescue of any kind.
Additionally, your portable radios are not water proof either.
Again, please consider your situation and dress appropriately.
Fire gear is not rated for PFD use

Stay ahead of this! #SharkWeek
As we close out 2018 SharkWeek, the moral of the week is really to always be on the lookout for bad stuff in disasters.
Easy in peace time, disaster response is tougher than it seems esp when you have to stay ahead of mis-information or fake news. Your ability to operate ahead of the game and be the true voice of your agency will be critical in your success.
Let me say that again, your ability to be ahead of the game is critical to your success in an emergency or disaster.
How can you always remain ahead?
- Read about current issues
- Plan for situations within your AOR
- Train like you fight.
- Build relationships before the big one.
Keep it real my peeps….stay safe this weekend.
There’s some-fin special about your situational awareness
Always keep your wits about you!
Maintaining good situational awareness is critical for any professional. So to help illustrate this, I submit this Thursday gem.
I’d make some sharp joke about between two ferns…
I was out patrolling and arrested a street shark…you know, just some dorsal profiling…
No lie, he thought I was jawsome….
OK OK OK…I’m here all night!
Be safe my peeps and maintain good situational awareness!
Can Sharknado be real? Easy answer is…
It’s Wednesday – so on this fine hump day, I bring you this hump of a disaster…
…more like a movie that is a disaster. I can confirm, Sharknado isn’t real.
The possibility of a sharks flying around in a tornado are incredibly rare.
Don’t be a bozo.
Sharks in the HOV lanes? Cmon! #SharkWeek #2018
And for the second disaster trick, this picture….
IT AIN’T REAL!!!
Don’t be a dingbat, stop sharing this fake picture during disasters and/or flooding.
Aaaaaand yes, an easy twofer here too: TURN AROUND, DON’T DROWN!!!
Be a good steward of social media information.
Sharks in the subway?!? #SharkWeek #2018
Since it’s the start of 2018’s Shark Week, I wanted to share with you one of my more favorite shark pictures.
Again, this isn’t real.
Don’t be a chump, during disasters or flooding, stop sharing this picture.
Don’t be shark bait – hello #SharkWeek #2018
Did someone say SharkWeek?!?
This week, I will share my favorite FAKE disaster shark pictures. Awwww yeah baby.
So this week, get your chomps on!
Meter Maid?
I guess he didn’t like it when CPD called him a “Meter Maid” – yikes.
It’s Saturday so keep your head down!
Unidirectional mics and keeping it up! #PIO P26
Hello AlohaFriday!
Mic check! Sibilance. Sibilance. Check. Check.
As part of the ongoing P26 push…I thought this quick video about field mics might help out a few public safety colleagues.
Mainly designed for PIOs, PAOs, and External Affairs Officers….I think anyone could utilize these easy tips.
Reporting live from the 24-7 SEOC…
Another #PIO #PAO quick phrase to (possibly) use for later
Afternoon Law Enforcement leaders and LEO PIOs!
If you have employees, here’s another quick phrase you want to keep close.
“Law enforcement officers are peacekeepers whose core mission is to protect and safeguard the community.”
and
“It is our expectation is that employees do not engage in activities or associations that undermine or diminish our role as peacekeepers.”
Well done CCSO.
Where is @rusnivek?
