S-3 : TODDrGORE PUBLIC WORKS 01/29/09;
Description of Incident: Todd was up in the bucket truck removing a parkway tree
about 30 ft. in the air. As Todd was cutting the branch, the chain was bound in the
crotch of the branch as the limb began to fall to the ground. The saw was stuck in the
crotch of the branch, which forced the saw out of Todd's hand and plummeted to the
ground along with the branch. Saw was damaged.
Supervisor's Comments & Recommendations: For safety reasons and serious
consideration, we have not been tethering the saws to the bucket. Through seminars
and talking with Stihl reps, it is more dangerous to tie yourself or the saw with a tether
strap. In that particular case, Todd could have been dragged out along with the
branch and the saw. Todd reacted like he was taught and nobody was hurt. The
ground crew was not under the bucket like they are trained not to do, so again nobody
was injured.

remove the snow and ice is recommended.

Description of Incident: The camera was being used by the Tower 7 crew while
interior on the first floor of 61 Avon. The fire conditions deteriorated rapidly and an
immediate evacuation was called. During the evacuation, visibility became zero and
contact with the camera was lost. The first floor was breached with a large ventilation
hole and multiple burn through areas. The camera is presumed lost in the rubble and
water in the basement. Under these heat and collapse conditions, the camera is not
designed to survive even if found.
Supervisor's Comments & Recommendations: An extendable lanyard on all
cameras would help prevent loss especially when there are multiple users during an
incident.

F-5 LANCE'HARRIS FIRE DEPARTMENT. 01/31/09::
Description of Incident: The axes were left in the basement of a house with rapidly
deteriorating fire conditions in the basement and first floor. Multiple hose lines,
personnel, zero visibility and equipment made it difficult to account for the axes during
the evacuation phase of the fire.

member to account for each tool in an unpredictable environment.

Description of Incident: Mr. Johnson was stock-piling trench spoil and debris into a bin (a
three-walled concrete structure) and he was raising the loaded bucket to dump atop the pile.
This action caused the right front side of the loader to sink into the debris more than the left
side. As the loader began leaning, the mirror bracket came in contact with the bin sidewall.
As the bracket was being crushed, it pushed the mirror into the windshield causing both to
crack/shatter.

Description of Incident: A large female patient (approx. 275-300 Lbs.) was lying supine on
the bathroom floor. Patient has hx. of M.S. and unable to control either leg foot. C-Spine
cleared and we began by moving patient into the sitting position. A lifting strap was applied
to patient (yellow waist strap/black leg strap) and made a lift on the patient. When the
patient was almost to the Y2 to 3/ standing position, the black leg strap (of the lifting strap)
slid off patient's legs and rear end, and patient started to make a rapid descent towards the
floor. They were unable to hold this patient from falling. Lifting strap was reapplied and
patient was transferred to here electric scooter. Both Lt. and employee injured their backs
during the lift. j
Supervisor's Comments & Recommendations: We are often put into difficult situations
for patient care. Crew used safe lifting techniques and.proper equipment, and there was still
an injury. The lift strap has been used many times and is an effective tool for difficult lifts.
This strap was applied properly, but with the shape and size of the patient, the black strap
slipped out of position and an injury resulted. A possible modification of the black strap, may
have prevented its movement (possibly having the black strap work in the same fashion as
our KED, with buckles).

F,78-: :. : 09/07 FIRE DEPARTMENT, 02/14109.
Description of Incident: Lt. was assisting in the lifting of a very heavy patient from the
ground. The patient was placed in a lifting strap and as the patient was being lifted, the
strap slipped off and the patient's weight shifted back towards the Lt., causing him to have
to catch the bulk of the weight all of a sudden. This caused him to have a painful twinge in
his lower back.
Supervisor's Comments & Recommendations: After talking with the Lt. and others on
the scene, the only recommendation that can be made to help prevent this incident from
occurring again would be to have all personnel aware of the strap locations, and to watch
carefully for any movement of the strap while lifting the patient.

special response vehicles (Hazmat, Dive, etc.) for doors, power cords, air lines, etc., prior to
pulling them out of the station. 2) A sign will be put on the steering wheel of Hazmat 8 to
