Mann Gulch Fire On August 5th, 1949 what was thought to be a routine day in the lives of 16 smokejumpers, will be remembered within the U.S. Forest service as well as firefighting history. The Mann Gulch fire occurred in Montana’s Helena National Forest, and prior to this incident, no smokejumper had ever died fighting a wildland fire. The fire, which was caused by lightning strike, was originally spotted at 12:25 pm. Due to the remote location and lack of roads; smokejumpers were dispatched to the incident. Forman Wagner (Wag) Dodge and his crew made their jump a few hours after the call.

Possible Priorities & Responses The first thing I would do in this situation is raise the fire alarm to evacuate everyone out of the building. At the same time I would get somebody to close the kitchen door to prevent the fire from spreading and to prevent smoke inhalation I would also get them to phone the fire brigade. After raising the fire alarm I would help service users evacuate the building in a safe way so that they are not at risk of being left in the building and getting any injuries or even death due to smoke inhalation or burns. Whilst evacuating the building, if I came across a closed door I would feel the door with the back of my hand. I would not touch a metal handle because it would be very hot.
The purpose of this paper is to explore the role of the professional nurse and other healthcare professionals’ involvement, and the implementation of their clinical expertise during this type of disaster. In addition, the discussion of strategies that would help to prepare and improve the community’s response to said disaster should one take place. The Role of the Nurse On May 26, 1997 and F-5 tornado struck a rural community in Jarrell, Texas, at approximately 3:40 pm, followed by an F-3 tornado in Cedar Park, Texas around 4:00 pm, followed by an F-4 tornado that struck an area in Austin, Texas (my home town) at approximately 4:50 pm. It is astonishing that the level of intensity from said storms did not produce more fatalities than it did, however, it was foretold that damage to residential and commercial properties was exorbitant. Center for Disease Control (1997) reported the tornadoes caused 32 injuries, 29 deaths, and an estimated $20
It will assess the emergency disaster plan that was in place and how it affected the decisions of the “Neighborhood Community” members overall. The Neighborhood Community is located near a forest along the banks of a river where the weather is beautiful year round. The population consists of 64,200 people, of which 63% of the population had identified themselves as a white, non-Hispanic race. In season 2, episode 5 of the Neighborhood newspaper, a forest fire broke out five days prior the publish date. The fire increased throughout various areas daily, which caused the fire to maintain a steady pace that resulted in the destruction of countless acres of land.
Introduction Health experts face the challenge of rapid response to disaster, which is becoming very common not only in this country, but also in other parts of the world. Terrorism, natural disasters, major accidents are some of the possible cases that may require rapid response among the health experts as they struggle to save lives and relieve the victims of their pain. Rapid response to disaster is not a responsibility of a specific institution. All the healthcare institutions, both public and private, must come together in order to coordinate closely in responding to such disasters. According to Edberg (2006), regional health information organizations (RHIO) have become the common platforms for sharing relevant data in such cases.
Responding to emergency incident In this report I will write about one of the public services grading system and how they grade what type of call is put into a category and the response time in which they respond to the call. Also, look at the roles and responsibilities of the Uniformed Public Service (UPS). I will then go on to explain their roles and responsibilities the UPS during the Road Traffic collision (RTC) case. Additionally, I will speak about the inter agency co-operation during a call out and evaluate them when they were dealing with the April Jones case. I will start by talking about the police grading system.
