LODD Captain Bowen’s Story by Randy Mantooth #Firefighter
Definitely a worthwhile video to watch pertaining to the Asheville Fire Department Captain Jeff Bowen Line Of Duty Death (LODD) in 2011.
*Personal note: Capt Bowen was one of my students in my Firefighter class.
Video produced by Randy Mantooth and sponsored by Masimo.
Jeff: Keep an eye out for all of us at the elevated IC.
Statement on Hospital Wing / Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital (TN) crash #LODD
I extend my sympathies for the loss of life in Tennessee following this morning’s Hospital Wing crash in Somerville (Fayette County) Tennessee.
Initial reports show that no patients were onboard the Eurocopter AS350 during flight. Emergency crews on scene have reported 3 deaths including Hospital Wing Pilot Charles Smith, Pedi-Flite Nurse Carrie Barlow and Pedi-Flite Respiratory Therapist Denise Adams.
Local and regional authorities are leading the investigation and recovery as well as providing assistance as needed.
Numerous agencies have been in close contact with the Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital and Hospital Wing flight program and all stand ready to provide assistance as requested.
I encourage everyone to support the fallen flight crew’s families and those who work with them in their time of need.

Wait, the Yarnell Fire Chief Jim Koile dumped a dead girl’s body in the desert in 1973? #firefighter
Wait, Yarnell Fire Chief Koile dumped a dead girl’s body in the desert in 1973? But yet, they still allowed him as Fire Chief?!?!?!?!?!
That’s really really bad.

Yarnell Hill Incident Commander discusses investigative report #LODD
USA Today interviewed the Yarnell Hill Incident Commander (IC) discusses the investigative report after the 19 Line of Duty Deaths (LODDs) from Prescott Fire.
Opinion: I don’t think this report exonerates his command team.
My recommendations: Proper training for all responders will help better understand ever-changing and very dangerous conditions on the scene.
