The term first responder is lazy reporting. My department for awhile was calling trapped and rescued occupants patients. Which is just incorrect. I did inform them of such. Thats the only way we will get change. I think Firefighters deserve that much.
Whenever cops screw up we never hear end of it. Sometimes rightfully so. But let's just make sure heroic actions of @MNPDNashville is talked about just as loudly. Running without hesitation into active shooter situation is hero shit. Thanks to all officers who risked their lives.
Incredibly proud of everyone involved in this gripping documentary #Burned—Diane Cotter's valiant fight to bring awareness to harmful PFAS in firefighter turnout gear. It's time for this story to be heard to protect the heroes that protect us.

Today’s ##iaffcdnleg conference activities included the Canadian premier of the documentary #BURNED. A film about the cancer epidemic in today’s fire service. Changes are needed to prevent more deaths.
