每月五月天星期一消防员填补您收件箱或您在社交媒体上看到的消防员员工旨在解决壁炉生存和抢救被困/下行消防员。最终，Mayday星期一旨在帮助消防员存活任何和所有的火花危险。最近，我们看到了涉及消防员的暴力问题。上周，6月25日星期一，长滩（加利福尼亚州）消防部门的两名成员被枪杀了after extinguishing a fire in a senior facility. One of the firefighters, Captain David Rosa, died as a result of the shooting. The gunman, a resident of the facility, reportedly started the fire, but a motive in the fire and shooting of the firefighters is not yet known. Here is alink to a news story about the shooting from theLos Angeles Times。Please take some time to learn about the life and death of Capt. Rosa and the injury to Firefighter Torres.
From the U.S. Fire Administration: Fire Captain David Rosa was assigned to Engine 10 and was working a regularly assigned shift that began at 0800hrs on June 24, 2018.
At 0349hrs on June 25, 2018, Captain Rosa and the members of his engine company were dispatched to a report of an explosion at a multiple residential building.
当罗莎船长到达现场时，他和他的船员被分配到建筑物，爬到火地板上，并攻击火灾。正如罗莎队长在二楼的工作，他被枪声所震撼。
Captain Rosa was removed from the building by other firefighters and transported by the Long Beach Fire Department ambulance to a local hospital. Despite treatment at the scene, in the ambulance, and in the hospital, Captain Rosa was pronounced dead at 0523hrs. His death was caused by the gunshot wound.

虽然这是一个可怕的事件，但让我们留下的人留下了困境，却为什么和这种情况发生如何，这不是消防服务的新问题。以下是2004年2月在国内暴力事件期间对肯塔基州消防队员的死亡和伤害的NIOSH报告的联系：NIOSH-Ky. Lt. Killed
What can firefighters do to survive the violence against us? There is not a magic answer to keeping us safe during these incidents but maintaining good situational awareness may be the most important step. This can start when you are off duty by paying attention to the news reporting on tensions in your response area or a planned protest or demonstration. When reporting for duty, check with the off-going shift to see if they witnessed of were aware of issues in the area. All of this preincident information can help prepare you for a future response.
During the response, gather as much information as possible. Use your dispatchers and make sure to check the computer for updates to response information.
When arriving on the scene, get the BIG picture and avoid tunnel vision. Call for help early and use the “10-33” message, if needed. If conditions indicate the need for police assistance, stage and await their arrival. Leave yourself and your crew an escape path if tensions flare and conditions change. Don’t get blocked in.
Please take the July Mondays to review procedures for response to violent incidents. Here is one more article for you to read and help with your situational awareness:Situational Awareness to Potential Violence
