065 - Improving Fire Scene Cooperation

In this firefighter training episode Darren Dake and David Soler talk about the field of fire death investigation, and what we, as firefighters, need to know about how we can help medical examiners preserve evidence and get the answers that they need.

We discuss:

• What are some of the biggest mistakes/issues you see firefighters doing in terms of the Medical examiner?
• What are, maybe, the top priorities that we need to have in our minds as firefighters or EMS personnels on a scene like this?
• How can firefighters / EMS work with the Coroner / MEs at fire scenes?
• How can we have better cooperation and scene management?
• How can we (fire service) do a good job preserving the evidence and scene while still doing our job?
• What else should we as firefighters/EMS know about to help?
