The FWFD is saddened to announce the unexpected loss of one of our own. Lt Garey Pugh was killed today in a motorcycle accident while off duty. Lt Pugh served the City of Fort Worth for 34 years. He was 56. Our thoughts & prayers are with his family during this difficult time.
21:59 PM #CLESMedics & #CLESFire are responding to an Auto vs Moose accident at MP 41 of the Sterling Highway. Please avoid the area if possible and watch out for emergency vehicles! #MoveOverSlowDownAK
#ATCEMSMedics transported an adult trauma alert patient to Dell Seton with critical injuries. 2nd #ATCEMS ambulance remains on the scene in support of the @austinfiredept. No further information is available.
This evening a @HoustonFire crew was assaulted while working a MVA on 610 feeder Rd @ Scott St
Absolutely unacceptable! Attacks places the safety of FFs and those they serve at risk. I condemn this violence & support safety of all 1st responders who put themselves in harm’s way
Using lights & sirens increases the chance of an EMS vehicle crash by 50% and almost triples the chance of crash during patient transport. Read our joint position statement for tips on safely decreasing the use of lights & sirens: https://t.co/I8iyjVRSIA #SafetyTuesday#EMSweek
Using lights & sirens during EMS responses may do more harm than good. How is your EMS organization working to reduce use of lights and sirens? #EMSweek#SafetyTuesday

Great video announcement for the new field triage guidelines for injured patients. So humbled to represent @ACEPNow @EmergencyDocs alongside friends & colleagues in @acsTrauma @NAEMSP @NAEMT_ & other great organizations.
Just finished listening to the #StandardOfCarePodcast from @nickjadams1 and @srjattorney covering the #RadondaVaught story. One action item was to look for your "near miss" situations before they become a "3AM issue." I tagged this set-up for correction.
@EMSAvenger@nickjadams1@srjattorney At 3am it is a lot easier to grab the wrong vial. NOBODY IS IMMUNE! You never go wrong if you follow the “R”s and double/triple check with your partner!
