Hi, my name is Lars and I work for the fire and rescue service in Värnamo, Sweden.

I'm trying to get in contact with someone from Belgium and found you here.
I am collecting some educational material from different stations and countries to put them all in one place on the web, like a knowledge bank to use when creating exercises for your own station, something to draw ideas from.

Do you think it would be possible for me to get a hold of a powerpoint in tactical ventilation/PPV ventilation or what you might call it from you?

It will be added to a website translated into English, later you can find several other documents from other stations in return that you can use.

Best regards / Lars

Of course I always drive safely and utilize Due Regard. That's why I didn't just hop in front of the cars hoping that they would stop for me. It just irks me that people are either A.) THAT oblivious when operating a motor vehicle, or B.) That unc...

The incident hindered my response by a minute or so which could make all of the difference. In this instance - no, I still made the rig (it was an EMS call). However, the "What If" factor plays a key role - the other drivers passing me didn't know...
