Bainbridge Island Fire Dept. hosts Mega Code training for Medic One student paramedics

There were 48 heart attacks on Bainbridge Island last Saturday — and all in the same location. But that’s OK. It worked out as well as it could, because there was plenty of help around. Actually, if you were going to have a massive heart attack last weekend, Saturday, at the Bainbridge Island Fire Department’s Station 23 on Phelps Road, was kind of the ideal place to do it.

DECON/pak

Task Force Tips DECON/pak self-contained agent proportioning and rinse application system was developed specifically for gross decontamination of firefighting personnel donned with gear and their equipment. Throughout 2017, TFT field-tested the DECON/pak at fire stations and training academies across the nation. The feedback received helped to refine the final version into an easy-to-deploy system to perform gross decon operations at the fire scene. The DECON/pak uses a simple, three-step process: add cleaning agent, connect to hoseline, and wash/scrub/rinse. The system includes a 2.5-gallon container for detergent, a 12-foot hose with fan spray nozzle, and a simple built-in eductor that allows water from the truck to be used in a mix or rinse application.
