Here is a little animated story from the Freeway Patrol, Episode 6, The One with the Purple Unicorn. We all have had a "Dr Grandal" on a MVA scene! A driver who thinks they should be allowed to go whatever direction they want!

I wish I could say I found this very well photographed extrication scene, but FireGeezer here at FireEMSBlogs.com broke the story last night! How would you handle this scene? By all accounts, the Glenview Fire Department did a great job getting the occupants out!

So the title reads "Pipe bombs found after LA. man wrecks pickup truck". If this caught your attention read further into the story. Here are a few facts that we should all consider:

One of the FireEMSBlogs.com team that I was lucky enough to get to know a little was Tiger Schmittendorf. I noticed on Facebook tonight that a link was posted from the Emergency Responder Safety Institute that Tiger commented on about. Tiger created the Responder Safety Visor Card. The card shown below provides a vital reminder for setting up temporary traffic control at a glance. Print it out and put it in the map book or in the visor.
