Fire Fighters and Swine Flu
As you know, the World Health Organization
has raised its pandemic alert for H1N1 (swine)
Flu to Phase 5, indicating that a global
outbreak of the disease is imminent. It has
advised all countries to immediately activate
pandemic preparedness plans.
To ensure members are aware of and take the necessary precautions for responding safely and effectively during this outbreak, the IAFF has developed a Remember the Basics tip sheet, an Interactive Resource Guide and a comprehensive database of additional resources.
Stop, Drop, Control® is a high blood
pressure community outreach program developed
as a partnership between the International
Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) and Novartis,
a global leader in the treatment of cardiovascular
diseases for over 40 years.
The goal of Stop, Drop, Control is to increase awareness and encourage the successful management of high blood pressure control among fire fighters. In turn, they become advocates and educate their communities on the urgency of treating high blood pressure.

It's Time To Prepare!
Midland City Council is looking towards police and fire for budget cuts in 2011 according to the Midland Daily News...
"Faced with a projected $2.6 million general fund shortfall in the coming fiscal year, the Midland City Council has directed City Manager Jon Lynch and staff to explore deeper service cuts rather than raise property taxes when preparing the 2010-2011 Midland city budget. Those cuts may include previously off-limits areas such as public safety."
