In the process of building a national #fire #hydrant database, we would often get told by local governments that it would be a "national security risk" due to the ability to put poison inside of a hydrant. We'd run this by #firefighters and they would chuckle and say "no it's not -that's not how hydrants work." Here's what happens when you mess with a hydrant. Any yes, I remain obsessed by #hydrants - the unheralded champions of water distubution, firefighting success, and even #wildfire suppression. Go Team Hydrant! #insurance #insurtech

Check out this creative problem solving article posted by #partnerinpatriotism, ADS, Inc.!
At ADS, we’re always looking for faster, smarter and more cost effective ways to solve problems for our customers, and suppliers like Bambi Bucket help us do it. When a winter ice jam on a North Dakota river threatened to flood communities upstream, the state’s National Guard helicopters dropped buckets of water instead of conventional explosives to break up the ice and get the river flowing again. Water instead of explosives? That's unconventional problem solving, and we love it. Read the whole story here: https://brnw.ch/21wI8IZ

https://lnkd.in/g2rpRGWz This article I wrote recently address the differing and evolving models of this topic. It was also posted in Fire Rescue1, and Police 1.
Fire Department and Emergency Medical Services Coordinator at Oakland County Tactical Consortium
What's currently known as "Rescue Task Force" has gone through numerous regional iterations since 1997, including Extraordinary Deployment, Contained Threat Escort Tactics, High-Risk Extraction Protocol, and Warm Zone Care. Recently, other names such as Swift Assisted Victim Extraction and Rescue Strike Force have been used in some parts of the country. Whatever you call your active violence toolbox, please know that Protected Corridor is an extremely beneficial tool within it ... and one that continues to save lives. Strong work by Assistant Chief Steve Hamilton (a fellow member of the NFPA 3000 committee) and a travesty this video has less than 10 views as I post it. Let's change that, share this post, and spread the word.
