One Emt dies and 3 others were hospitalized following a Carbon Monoxide Poisoning, at their station. The Emt that passed away was new and was going through training. The new emt was 33 years old. No names have been released but we should try to send up our prayers for the families of the emt that passed and the others who are sick... This came from a running ambulance, you should be aware of it, because the protocols usually put us at risk for this alot... make sure you aren't at risk, keep your eyes open!

Very sad news to all in EMS the loss of a little sister.

Use CO detectors they do save lives.

"Thirty-three year-old Casey Steenland had been training to become an emergency medical technician since January.

Steenland along with three other workers with Champion EMS were overcome by fumes created after a generator was left running on an ambulance."
