This fire has come unexpected to the community and has effects on the community’s hospital, senior center, school, and the Bley Household. The hospital is overloaded with patients suffering from many respiratory issues. With having so many patients that are requiring an inpatient status, this is putting pressure on the staff to have to work more hours, and pick up mandatory overtime shifts to help aid in the care of these patients. The stress of such an influx of patients is showing itself when it comes to the moral of the employees. With moral being low, the drive to work extra hours falls as well.
Their stress is unlike any other type of job stress. The stress that police officers go through can be long-term and it can result in high-blood pressure, heart disease, ulcers, headaches, digestive disorders, and it can also impair an officer’s mental health. Job stress is the harmful physical and emotional response that can occur when there is a poor match between the job demands and the capabilities, resources, and/or needs of the worker. Police officers work many types of different shifts sometimes on monthly rotations. When your body goes through changes like that constantly your body has to try and adjust to it.
On top of the long hours that the owners placed on it employees, many hazards existed in the building as well. Because of a theft problem many of the exit doors were kept locked from the outside in order to prevent the employees from getting out with stolen company property.

The start of the fire is still not quit known.

The pressure placed on them also makes them place intense pressure on the hourly employees, which results in low morale (hourly employees feel like the foremen don’t listen to them, are too harsh, etc.). • The plant is open 24/7 and uses 12 hour shifts, which is problematic. Due to the “strenuous nature of the long shifts”, employees show up late and call in sick often so line foremen constantly have to scramble to find substitutes at the last minute. • If they allow production to drop as a result of these problems, they get to be verbally reprimanded by their managers. Is it any wonder why turnover is a problem?

Peter’s past medical history showed Ischemic Heart disease, Angina, and Aortic Valve Replacement. Following Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) protocol Peter was placed on the cardiac monitors and his vital signs observed half hourly. Observations showed sinus tachycardia 120 beats per minute (BPM), pyrexia (temperature of 39.6) and hypotension (systolic blood pressure 85mmHg) (SIGN 2007).

Following an MI irreversible necrosis of a portion of heart muscle results due to prolonged ischaemia (Lilly 1998).
Case Study: “Wagner Dodge in Mann Gulch.” Even though Wagner Dodge had a lot of technical expertise and experience in firefighting, several of the firefighters he was supposed to lead, were killed in the Mann Gulch fire, because he failed to be a good leader. Most of the decisions Dodge made after they landed were logical, but it probably was a bad decision not to get away from the fire as soon as he saw that the situation was much worse than he expected. It is likely that Dodge made this decision, because he was influenced by the overconfidence trap due to the success during the past years in his firefighter career. Therefore, he thought that the situation was less dangerous than it actually was. Since he was uncertain about what the situation in the fire would be like, he should have considered the circumstances more carefully, taking into account, that he did not know the members of his team and their abilities very well.
