Red spineboard on 2541

A red spine board with pre-attached straps has been placed back on 2541.  In certain aerial rescue scenarios spider straps are too cumbersome.  When this board is used from time to time it needs to be retrieved and placed back on 2541.  Thank you.

Elkhart Rapid Attack Monitor on 2523

Several people have commented recently that the Elkhart portable monitor on 2523 was buried behind the SCBA and fire extinguishers in the right front compartment.  There was some discussion of standardizing with 2522 and attaching it to the working hose in the hose bed.  Upon examination that really isn’t feasible.  It is too high and there isn’t a lot of room to work with.  As an alternative I have moved it on a trial basis.  It is now in the right rear compartment on the slide out tray next to the PPV fan.  Give this a good look.  If you identify a problem with this or have a better solution in mind please let me know.  Thank  you.

Airway kit on 2523

The red airway bag on 2523 has been changed substantially.  The contents and arrangement now closely resemble the newer green airway kits on 2522 and 2541.  The King airways were added to 2523 a few weeks ago.  The top has been marked with a Sharpie.  This kit  is very different than the kit on 2521.  Please take some time to familiarize yourself with it.  I think that we will use our resources for a new large orange bag.  We will probably continue to use this red bag for a while.  Thank you.

BLS EMS kits 2561 & 2571

We have reduced the EMS equipment on 2571 and streamlined it with 2561.  Please take a few moments to familiarize yourself with these kits before you need to use one of them.  Thank you.

Basic Advanced Life Support Strategic Action Case

The cached yellow balssac (Basic ALS Strategic Action Case)has been moved from the top of the EMS cabinet and put on 2523.  It’s contents were updated.  Where feasible we are working toward consistency between 2522, 2541, 2523, and the Durango.  We may decide to purchase another large orange kit and green airway bag  in the not so distant future.  Thank you.
