The fire extended to the siding of the neighbor s garage before it was extinguished. Companies responding to an activated medical alert alarm, found an elderly female with exposure to carbon monoxide. Upon entry into home, the sole occupant/patient was found to be disoriented and weak. A passive "CO detector on one of the Fire Department medical equipment bags activated shortly after entry into the home. At this point, the occupant and all crew members were evacuated from the home to the ambulance, where advanced life support care was provided to the patient and she was quickly transported to Lutheran General Hospital. Upon further investigation, it was determined that the flue of furnace had become disconnected and furnace was expelling exhaust byproduct into the home. The mechanicals were disconnected; the house was ventilated and further secured. Additional family members of the patient were notified of the situation. Engine #35 responded into Norridge to assist at a fire in a detached garage at 4100 Overhill. Tower #36 responded to a fourth alarm fire in suburban Stone Park, IL.

10 Training Battalion Chief Scott Sankey Quick Drill Throughout the month the Training Division assigns various quick drills to be discussed at the morning roll call. The May Quick Drills covered: Exposure Protection Single Family Dwelling Fire Scenario Strip Mall Fires Map Grid 3684 Review After Action Reviews METRA Passenger Loads Word of the Week Throughout the month, shift members at each station are assigned a word. The member researches the word as it relates to the fire service and presents his/her findings to the rest of his station during the morning roll call meeting. The words for May were: Cementitious Containing or composed of cement Has cement like properties Psychological Decontamination The process performed when persons who have been involved in a situation think they have been contaminated and want to be decontaminated Responders who have identified that the persons who have not been contaminated should still consider what can be done to make them feel better Report of the Week Throughout the month the shifts are assigned a report from the National Firefighters Near Miss web portal. The site provides firefighters a place to anonymously document and share their close calls and near miss experiences with other firefighters around the country. By sharing these reports we hope to prevent similar situations from happening in the future. The following report was covered in May: Chief nearly runs over hose roller (firefighter rolling hose behind vehicle) Job Performance Requirements (JPR s) Triple Layer Load Single Firefighter Ladder Raises Two Firefighter Ladder Raises Automatic-Aid Training Station 35 personnel participated in a walk-through of the new outlet mall behind The Park in Rosemont.

Monthly Tip Senior Administrative Assistant Jennifer Steurer Recycling Information EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS In a disaster, local officials and relief workers cannot reach everyone immediately. Help may not arrive for hours or days. You and your family -- and don't forget to include the needs of those with disabilities -- need to be prepared ahead of time because you won't have time to shop or search for the supplies you will need when a disaster strikes. Most disasters are natural disasters, the result of some force of nature, such as tornadoes, hurricanes, and floods. Some natural disasters can be predicted, such as hurricanes and severe winter storms, while others, such as tornadoes and earthquakes, happen with little or no warning. Some disasters are the cause of human actions, intentional or unintentional. A disaster plan will help with safety, security, and comfort. Regardless of the type of disaster, there are things you can do to prepare. Contact your local Red Cross chapter, visit the FEMA Web site, or Ready.gov to make sure you are aware of the potential for natural disasters in your community. After you have identified the types of disasters that could strike where you live, create a family disaster plan that can apply to any type of disaster natural, unintentional, or intentional. Prepare an emergency supplies kit Disaster can occur suddenly and without warning. They can be frightening for adults, but they are traumatic for children if they don't know what to do when these events occur. Children depend on daily routines. When an emergency disturbs their routine, children can become nervous. In an emergency, they'll look to parents or other adults to help. How parents react to an emergency gives children an indication on how to act. They see their parents' fear as proof that the danger is real. A parent's response during this time may have a longterm impact. Including children in the family's recovery plans will help them feel that their life will return to normal. Families should prepare an emergency supplies kit and develop a plan. Practice your plan so that everyone will remember what to do in an emergency. Everyone in the home, including children, should play a part in the family's response and recovery efforts. Remember: make the plan simple so everyone can remember the details. 13
