Wildland Fire Season
Paramedics Unlimited

Tim Zimmerman from Wildfire Magazine  wrote that this year’s fire season is likely to be more complicated. Climate change discussions highlight worsening fire activities in terms of numbers, area burned, burning intensities, and duration of wildfire activity. Complexity of wildland fire over the last 5 decades has increased. According to the National Significant Wildland Fire Potential Outlook in June and July the focus is on two primary areas of fire activity. First, Alaska has begun to see significant fire activity. Recent moisture over the state has dried out, triggerin ..read more

What is the difference between ALS and BLS Medical Care? In Basic Life Support (BLS) emergencies, a single EMS provider can not deliver optimum care, such as when trying to hold direct pressure on a bleeding wound, while preparing bandages, to stop bleeding.

Football season is underway and we’re proud to be providing medical standby at football games at high schools and universities in the lower valley. As a full-contact game injuries are common in football. Equipment and experienced coaches can reduce the risk of injury, however when an injury does occur having an ALS medical team comprised of 1 Paramedic and 1 EMT onsite can reduce the risk of the injury becoming more serious. A paramedic and EMT together can deliver life saving treatment and if hospitalization is required, they can hand-off to emergency services with treatment already underway ..read more
