TEXTBOOK: Bennett, L. T. (2008). Fire service law. Upper Saddle River, NJ: Prentice Hall Unit II Case Study Case Study 1: Review Articles V and VI of the EMAC legislation Public Law 104-321. To do this, copy and paste the followin" rel="nofollow">ing web address in" rel="nofollow">into a web browser: http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/PLAW-104publ321/pdf/PLAW-104publ321.pdf Assume that in" rel="nofollow">in response to a request for support from a neighborin" rel="nofollow">ing state, your fire department decides to send one engin" rel="nofollow">ine and a crew of four career firefighters/paramedics. You are not selected. One of your best friends who has been selected urges you to drive to the site of the call in" rel="nofollow">in the neighborin" rel="nofollow">ing state in" rel="nofollow">in your own vehicle and hook up with the engin" rel="nofollow">ine company when you get there. From pre-EMAC and post-EMAC perspectives, describe what legal liability risks you are personally in" rel="nofollow">incurrin" rel="nofollow">ing when renderin" rel="nofollow">ing medical assistance as an out-of-state paramedic who is “freelancin" rel="nofollow">ing”. If the in" rel="nofollow">incident commander allows you to participate in" rel="nofollow">in response, is he or she and/or your home municipality facin" rel="nofollow">ing potential liability? Be sure to address each issue from both perspectives. Your response should be at least 300 words in" rel="nofollow">in length. You are required to use at least your textbook as source material for your response. All sources used, in" rel="nofollow">includin" rel="nofollow">ing the textbook, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanyin" rel="nofollow">ing citations. Case Study 2: The St. Louis Fire Department experienced a heavy drop in" rel="nofollow">in emergency vehicle accidents after issuin" rel="nofollow">ing an SOP that requires “on the quiet” responses (no red lights or sirens) for in" rel="nofollow">incidents such as automatic alarms, smoke detectors, sprin" rel="nofollow">inkler alarms, manual pull stations, carbon monoxide detectors, and natural gas leaks. Many fire departments limit “hot” responses to alarm drops to the first due engin" rel="nofollow">ine and, possibly, a battalion chief. Other departments will send an engin" rel="nofollow">ine company to accompany an emergency medical services squad, but the engin" rel="nofollow">ine company goes “on the quiet.” A couple of terrific studies of such policies in" rel="nofollow">in Anne Arundel County, MD, and Philadelphia, PA, are available via the U.S. Fire Admin" rel="nofollow">inistration’s website.
