Chicago Fire: Leaving the Station (2012)
Injury on CTA tracks "throw the chain"
When the crew arrived at the station and proceeded onto the tracks, they were notified the 3rd rail might still be energized. They used a chain with an insulated pole other end grounded to a dead rail to test, rail was still hot. After the 2nd test rail was de energized thus Squads could extricate the injured, walk along the track way safely.
Given the equipment the Squad and Truck carry like the thermal image cameras, CO detectors, combustible gas indicators, Wonder why they don't have an induction voltage detector for DC since accidents do occur on the subways track ways and stations my input.
Chicago Fire: It Ain't Easy (2012)
Vargas transferring to different position within CFD?
After Vargas was injured in the machine plant fire, the CFD doctor offered him 75% long term disability and here this fire fighter has sixteen years on the job and maybe 4 more years before eligible to retire. I have to wonder why he was not given an opportunity to transfer into a non firefighter position like arson investigation or a similar administration position. Jose Vargas might have been able to complete the last 4 yrs of his career at CFD and receive his full retirement pension and medical benefits. Ought to been able to get in his 20 years at CFD in a different position. Seems more could be done.
