So this was drilled into my little head today, all day, for 8 hours. There are degrees of safeness but never completely safe. Our instructor shared a story with us today that happened to one of their friends. 60 y/o female found on the floor in a back bedroom. No pulse, not breathing so they start CPR. There is one paramedic, two firefighters and one sheriff deputy on scene. There is also the 60 year old females son. Well they work her for a while but end up calling it. The son flipped out and threw the paramedic threw a window which severed his brachial artery. He then went after the two fire fighters. The deputy tried to deploy his taser but there was such a struggle that he didn't want to tase the fire fighters. Eventually they were able to get the guy under control and hauled of to jail. I just thought this would be good to share with everyone especially the students like myself. There was also another incident where a paramedic that went through the school I am going through was held hostage with a gun, not sure on specifics of that one though. So anyways just keep your heads up and make sure you know the scene has degrees of safeness but is never completely safe.
