Run like hell?!?! #Fireworks

Posted on July 3, 2018 by rusnivek

I’m no genius, but if your fireworks say this…

…then you likely could get hurt. So please PLEASE be careful this 4th of July holiday.

Also, fireworks are expensive. Leave it to the pros.

Here’s a quick news story with my friend Euclid Fire Capt Jay Northup on the dangers of fireworks who was injured a few months ago in NE Ohio. (click on the picture)

Fire Captain Jay Northup suffered a severe head injury, two ruptured eardrums, second-degree burns, and multiple bruises and cuts requiring 35 stitches after an accident involving fireworks. / AMERICAN ACADEMY OF OPHTHALMOLOGY

Again, I would highly recommend that you leave the fireworks to the pros.

Sooooo, is this like a winter condom for your fire hydrant?

Glow in the dark reflective so you can find it better in the dark!!!

I love the extra effort people make to support their local fire department.

Aeromedical crews are a strong part of #EMSWeek2016 #EMSStrong

Posted on May 19, 2016 by rusnivek

Pilots and Nurses are also strong part of Emergency Medical Services (EMS).

KaitoAndGayle

Aeromedical crews work especially hard because they are dealing with the most complex patients and of course…time is of the essence.

Left to right: 117KC and 118WS with Mike-Bravo on the fins.

Not going to lie, I do miss flying.

EMS Pilots, Flight Nurses, Flight Paramedics, Critical Care Nurses and Critical Care Paramedics are all a part of your Emergency Medical Services.

Thank your local Emergency Medical Services Professionals for a job well done!

Chicago Fire 51s

Posted on May 14, 2016 by rusnivek

Station 51 from “Chicago Fire”

Yes, I do not watch the show. Too much Hollywood. However, I do appreciate the nod to Emergency!, Squad-51, and Engine-51.
