We just posted one more thing you may want to read from 3m:

This is not the Alvin Ward known to so many people all over North Carolina. I am disappointed that this needless and uncalled for slaughter is continuing. * To discontinue the practice of reducing employee salaries while requiring them to work as a disciplinary measure
This is legal, call Dept of Labor.
Editor’s Note:
If you are trying to see if your existing Highway Safety vests are compliant, here’s what to look for:
- Fluorescent background material of yellow-green, orange-red or red.
- Garment labeled as compliant with ANSI/ISEA 107-2004 or ANSI/ISEA 207-2006.
- Also recommended is the optional breakaway feature.
Editor’s Note:
Our policy in situations such as this: if a victim/patient’s face is visible, we will typically blur their features to protect their privacy. That was done in this case.
If the license plate on a vehicle is visible in a crash photo, we will also blur it for privacy reasons.
The mission of FireNews is to cover the activities of the state’s Fire and Rescue services. As such, the stories are not about the “patient” as much as they are about the fire service.
Traditional media covers what happens to the victims. We see our mission to report on the fire service side of a story, so we try and insulate the public from the story where appropriate.
Thanks.
For this to have been such a hard impact this driver is lucky to have survived. But I dont understand why it is that the picture has the patient still in the car. This is one of the most unprofessional moves I believe a department can make. Not only is it not professional, but think of the general public who may see this photo and it be one of there family members. Some people dont deal well with seeing there family and friends in such a situation. I urge all departments state wide to be careful posting pictures of the patient, lets keep our profession professional guys.
