NEW YORK (AP) — A U.S. Marine killed this week in Afghanistan was honored five years ago for rescuing a woman from a burning high-rise while serving with the Fire Department of New York, the city's mayor and fire commissioner said on Tuesday.

Christopher Slutman, a 15-year FDNY member, was among three American service members killed by a roadside bomb Monday. He leaves behind his wife, Shannon, and three daughters.

"Firefighter Slutman bravely wore two uniforms and committed his life to public service both as a New York City firefighter and as a member of the United States Marine Corps," Fire Commissioner Daniel Nigro said in a written statement.

"The decorated 15-year-veteran of the department is truly one of New York City's Bravest - running into danger to protect and defend others, both in New York City and in combat overseas," Mayor Bill de Blasio wrote.

"Christopher was a distinguished firefighter who had a profound impact on both of his firehouses, Ladder Companies 27 and 17," wrote Gerard Fitzgerald, president of the FDNY-UFA Firefighters Association. "Together, all firefighters grieve the loss of our brother, Christopher, who dedicated his life to protecting the people of this city and our nation."

In 2014, Slutman received a medal for pulling an unconscious woman from a high-rise apartment fire in the Bronx.

Slutman and fellow firefighters "forced open the door to the fire apartment and were met with a high heat condition and dense, black smoke, from floor to ceiling," the department said when his medal was awarded. They crawled along the apartment floor, and Slutman found the woman in a bedroom. He and another firefighter "dragged the woman past the fire" to emergency medical workers.

Slutman saved the woman "at peril to himself," a battalion chief wrote in endorsing his honor.

Slutman was the fourth FDNY member to die while serving in Iraq or Afghanistan since 2003, the city said.

"Through this trying time, we will remember Chris for the father, husband, brother, son and friend that he was, the moral character he di

April 10, 2019, Bellingham, WA – Emergency Reporting (ER), a leader in cloud-based Fire and EMS records management, is pleased to announce its partnership with PSTrax, the industryleading system for paperless operations checks and inventory management. 

ER’s Fire and EMS Records Management Software (RMS) serves as a platform for many first response agencies to house all of their data, from personnel files to patient care records and occupancy information.  The new integration with PSTrax now also makes it possible to seamlessly share operations checks and maintenance data to ER.  This saves personnel time and greatly increases visibility into an agency’s compliance and operations. 

Traditionally, first response agencies have managed checks and inventory on paper, spreadsheets or disparate systems.  PSTrax integrates all these checks and inventories – Vehicles, SCBA, PPE, Critical Assets, Stations and Narcotics – into an easy-to-use system that is proven (since 2009) and highly adopted by crews.   

PSTrax recognizes each department is as unique as the communities they serve, and most departments don’t have time to take on another project.  PSTrax provides a “full service” solution and manages the entire implementation for you.  The PSTrax team takes your apparatus, equipment and inventory checks and builds a turnkey system that is customconfigured for your department’s requirements.  PSTrax also recognizes how fast things change for first response agencies, so their team acts as your “administrative assistant” and makes ongoing changes to the system when needed.  

 “PSTrax builds long-term relationships with each of our client partners.  As part of that commitment, we constantly work to improve the client experience we provide and to bring the most value through our solution.  We are very excited about the integration with ER because it accomplishes both these goals.  With PSTrax, you can rest easy knowing checks and inventories are being completed and a full history is being documented for every task and inventory.  Ultimately, this ensures a safer work environment, reduces crew labor and provides the necessary information needed for compliance, audits and litigation, all for an affordable price that is often 5X less than the cost of paper checks,” says Ryan Larson, Vice President Business Development at PSTrax. “Now our clients who use ER will have an even more efficient and streamlined experience thanks to this new partnership and integration.” 

With the integration between PSTrax and ER, first response agencies are able to automate the completion of their operations checks and sync the creation and management of maintenance tickets.  As crews complete their operations checks in PSTrax, they can create “alerts” that will automatically sync with the ER Maintenance module and create a maintenance record for that apparatus.  As updates are made to the maintenance record in PSTrax, those updates automatically sync back into the ER Maintenance module as well. 

“Many ER customers also use PSTrax, so we’re thrilled to be able to team up with them and offer this integration,” says Dave Adams, Co-founder and Chief Revenue Officer at Emergency Reporting. “ER and PSTrax users don’t have to worry about entering the same kind of data twice into two separate systems. This is why we are continuously expanding our network of partners and integrations – so that we can make things much easier for customers and save them time and money.” 

The ER Partner Community makes it easy to discov
