First In Rescue Training

No comments

I recently started working with a local firefighter who has started to branch out in developing his own training company.  With the mass amounts of companies and organizations needing  CPR & First Aid training and fire departments looking for reasonably priced rescue training this seemed like a great idea.

First In Rescue Training exists to provide advanced safety and rescue training through real-life techniques and strategies, following OSHA mandated guidelines and independent company procedures; in order to create the highest level of employee preparedness and safety within the workplace.

FireEMSBlogger Needs Your Support

1 comment

RE-Posted from EMS12Lead.com…Help a fellow fireemsblog.com blogger

In case you didn’t know, Matt McDowell is the author of the S.A.F.E. Firefighter blog here at FireEMSBlogs.com. He’s a lieutenant with Bluffton Township Fire District (BTFD) which is just over the bridge from Hilton Head Island.

While I don’t know “Jeebs” as well as I would like, we have many mutual friends and I can tell you that he’s a class act and well respected by his peers.

A friend of mine forwarded an email to me yesterday. I’m cutting and pasting it here with Captain Dollahan’s permission.

Good morning everyone,

If you haven’t heard by now, Matt and Elizabeth McDowell are expecting a little girl by the name of Juliann McDowell. With the joy of Juliann’s arrival coming soon (Dec 28), there will be some major expenses due to the heart defect that they have already found in the multiple ultrasounds. Baby Juliann will require numerous open-heart surgeries, just after birth, in order to correct this heart defect. I have listed a link about the nature of the defect HERE.

In an effort to help McDowell (Jeebs) and Elizabeth, we are doing a 50/50 raffle to offset the major expenses coming their way. We will draw the winner of the Raffle on November 20.

I need your help to get this raffle information out… I attached the sheet with the raffle information so you can forward onto friends and family, even people you don’t know… It’s time for us to help one of our own brothers!

THANK YOU… In advance

Please don’t hesitate to call or email me with any questions!!!

Pregnant 9/11 Victims Pass on PTSD to Child

I recently listed to an podcast episode from Stuff You Should Know called, Can your Grandfather’s diet shorten your life. The podcast was about Epigenetics.  Epigenetics, “is the study of inherited changes in phenotype (appearance) or gene expression caused by mechanisms other than changes in the underlying DNA sequence”

In simple terms, I understand this to mean that I can change the look of my DNA without actually changing the DNA itself and that this change can be made by external (man controlled) circumstances. (more…)
