WXII-TV NBC 12 WINSTON-SALEM Related: Barn used for wedding reception burns in Lewisville Dream Job: Man brought love of firefighting from Czech Republic to Kentucky county When Pavel Zboril moved to Owensboro from the Czech Republic, he thought he left his life as a firefighter behind. Zboril, who comes from a community near the Czech city of Olomouc, was a volunteer firefighter, from a family of firefighters. "We have a long family history of volunteer firefighters in my family," he said. "I had been around firefighting since day one." By law, every community in the Czech Republic has to have a volunteer fire department, he said. Zboril moved to Owensboro to marry his wife in 2016 who he'd met through the Sister Cities program. Zboril thought he wouldn't work as a firefighter again. "I told myself, ‘I'm starting a new life in a new country, probably firefighting is part of my old life in the Czech Republic,' " Zboril said. But, "when I would hear the sirens and see firetrucks, I missed the life." MESSENGER-INQUIRER Washington fire department adds new emergency medical system for sick and injured children The Spokane Fire Department is implementing a new way to care for sick and injured children. SFD has partnered with Handtevy, a company that specializes in EMS pediatric technology, to create a new emergency medical care system for kids. It offers a pediatric resuscitation system and a mobile application to reduce the stress that comes with pediatric medical emergencies. The mobile application provides medical treatment information for firefighters and paramedics within seconds, as well as pediatric medication dosing and tools to help responders perform CPR and defibrillation and document care. "This new system puts critical, life-saving tools and technology in our Paramedics' hands," Spokane Fire Chief Brian Schaeffer said. "Pediatric and neonatal emergency calls are incredibly stressful and emotional for clinicians due to the unique medical needs of children." KXLY-TV ABC 4 SPOKANE Massachusetts Firefighters Will Cut Up A Brand New Volvo XC40 Recharge In The Name Of Safety Volvo is obviously a very safety-oriented brand. It's consistently ranked as one of the safest automakers out there. Now, some firefighters are going to tear up a Volvo XC40 Recharge in the name of safety. Volvo says it's donating the fully-electric SUV to the Boston Fire Department so that the department's crews can learn more about electric vehicle fires. This isn't the first time Volvo has done this either. A nearly-identical XC40 Recharge was donated to the New York Fire Department last year- we say nearly because the XC got a mild refresh this year. Regardless, the aim here is the same as last year- to educate first responders on EV fires. These fires can be particularly nasty due to the batteries, which often don't stay put out after they've gotten crispy, in addition to the toxic nature of the battery's cells. Volvo says first responders need to adapt their extraction procedures to safely work around an EVs large batteries and high-voltage wiring. CARBUZZ Pennsylvania fire department celebrates 3 generations of firefighters One York County fire department has generations of moms and families to celebrate on Mother's Day, not to mention the traditions they've passed down. Three generations of Micki Rife's family have worked in the West Manchester Township Fire Department, going back decades. She said firefighting is in their blood. "It is kind of like a family business," she said. Many firefighters say the firehouse is an extended family, but for Micki, it really is. "My uncle originally was the first one that joined the fire department," she said. Micki's dad followed, eventually serving as chief. Her mom and aunt joined the social committee, helping run fundraisers and other community events. "I made a lot of lifelong friends," Micki's aunt Barbara Irwin said. At 14, Micki took her place as a junior firefighter. "I do remember my first fire when I turned 16, it was a barn fire," she said. WHTM-TV ABC 27 HARRISBURG PREVIOUS NATIONAL NEWS |
