Saftey Changes

I wanted to update everyone who some safety changes we have made to station one.

Crash Cart

We have added a crash cart at station one. It is located just outside the east door of dispatch in the closet across the hall. You old timers will remember it as the old time card room. It is a red craftsman tool chest similar to what is used in the hospitals. It is labeled so things can be easily found. Louis Moore is responsible to keep it majored.

Restroom Locks
The restrooms at station one have had no key until recently. The fear was, if someone passes out in the restroom, we would have to break in a solid wood door, with a steel frame. We have remedied this by getting keys, and changing the locks that had no keys on all the restroom doors. They are held by any supervisor or dispatch if one is needed.

I encourage everyone to look around your surroundings for any other potential issues that we have missed. Each outlying station should have make sure that the exits are still well marked, fire extinguishers are visible etc...
