Request for
Information
Hello, my name is Bob Bennett, I
oversee the Command & Control Programs here at the National Fire
Academy. One of the projects I am working on has a task order which
calls for a maritime simulation to be developed and inserted in our
Command and Control of Fire Department Operations at Target Hazards
course and in the Command and Control Decision Making at Multiple
Alarm Incidents course. This would just be one more simulation
inserted in these existing courses. After meeting with the subject
matter expert (SME), we arrived at the conclusion that the simulation
needed to be developed around a small cargo vessel, a small
freighter/tanker or a tug of some type.
My question is this, how many of
your departments/agencies provide coverage to some type of waterway
that this type of simulation would be beneficial? If your
department/agency provides some type of response assistance to
shipboard firefighting, would you please drop me a short note so I can
compile some information to determine the viability of proceeding with
this development.
Thanks in advance for your
assistance.

DHSS Releases
Study of New Jersey’s Emergency Medical Services System
|
The New
Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services today released
an independent, comprehensive review of the state’s emergency
medical services (EMS) system that had been mandated by the
state legislature last year, Health and Senior Services
Commissioner Fred M. Jacobs, M.D., J.D. announced today.
The study,
“EMS System Review,” was conducted by
TriData Corp. of Arlington, Virginia, a nationally
recognized emergency services consulting firm.
In January
2006, the Legislature passed a resolution requiring the review
of the state’s entire EMS system, including ground EMS, the air
medical system, the EMS workforce, and the structure of the EMS
system, among other issues. The purpose was to determine
both the immediate and long-term needs of the system.
DHSS is currently reviewing the study to determine what
recommendations it will make regarding the future of New
Jersey’s EMS system.

“A GIFT FROM CAPTAIN BUSCIO”
My late husband Captain Dominick Buscio was a dedicated fire captain of the
Jersey City Fire Department. Dom was a wonderful husband, father, brother and
son to his family, and a true friend to all who knew him. At the age of 39, his
life was unexpectedly taken when he suffered a heart attack during our ski
vacation. Dom was the picture of health. In fact, the results of a complete
physical he had only 10 months before his death were normal, except for the
presence of moderately high cholesterol level. Since he was found to be healthy
at that time, he decided not to return for his annual physical the following
year. While many people his age made the decision not to seek regular checkups,
in his case, it resulted in an inconceivable loss to all of us.
I am sharing our experience with others because I have found that my husband’s
death was not a rarity. Heart attacks are the largest single killer of
firefighters. For that very reason, I created the program “A Gift from Captain
Buscio,” which began in Jersey City and now spans across the State of New Jersey
to offer strictly confidential comprehensive medical evaluations with no
out-of-pocket cost to all firefighters and officers.
My intention is not to instill anxiety. On the contrary, it’s to provide an
opportunity for peace of mind. I’m quite certain that this program would have
had Dom’s full support, given the current limited opportunities for firefighters
to obtain physicals.
For me, this program, which was founded in Dom’s memory, is an attempt to keep
your occupational risk limited to fighting fires.
Sincerely,
Donna Buscio
