New to Fire Service? Follow these 3 (STEPS) First!

Are you new in the fire service? Wanting to Promote? It is key that you follow these three steps. In order to be successful on a fire scene, you must fall in one of these three operational camps: 1) Task focus: If you are a new firefighter, do this task and do it well. Focus on being the best at your single craft. If you are a new firefighter, you will naturally be task saturated in your assigned activity—fire attack, search, ventilation, etc. That is OK! Your role is critical to getting the fire under control or saving lives. 2)Tactical focus: If you are an acting officer, lieutenant or captain, you are the tactician. Take your assignment (Fire attack, search, ventilation) and make sure your task saturated firefighters have everything they need to be successful. More importantly, it is your job to ensure they stay safe—you have the wider aperture and can see the things they can’t. 3) Strategic focus: if you are an acting chief or chief officer, it is all on you to set the strategy for your tactical officers to bring the entire incident under control. Each piece of the fire puzzle must be in place to bring it under control. Stick with one, get really good at it and move up from there! Want more tips?

This FREE stress, anxiety and nervousness Guide will help! https://hyperacademy.mykajabi.com/10seconds Being a Paramedic is no joke! We have a ton of things to do on every call: document, interview, assess, treat, calm family and other responders. And that is just for a bloody nose! When you are working a trauma or cardiac arrest, things ratchet up considerably. One of the many things we paramedics must do that often can become an afterthought it the call to the Emergency Department. It is easy to punt on this one. Admit it. You have had, or thought about having, your partner or dispatch make that call to the receiving facility for you. You and I both know that isn’t the best thing for the patient though. Providing a full appreciation of the patient status, vitals, and cause of their plight will dramatically improve the treatment they receive when they arrive to the emergency department. If all the ED hears is that they have a COR0 coming in, they will be behind the game when they find out it is a STEMI and THEN activate the Cath lab 20 minutes late. Similarly, if that COR0 is a result of a gunshot, the trauma surgeon will not be the wiser until the ED attending makes that call to get your patient into emergency surgery. Making that call is Important! But it is also challenging and can be s source of anxiety for many—especially when you have 1000 other things to attend to. Here is how to not only make that call, but ROCK that call and help save your patient’s life in the process. It just takes three steps: -Meditation -Mental Rehearsal -Do your First Just Breathe Exercise. Listen in to make that call like a PRO!
