As temperatures rise, so does bee activity, and that is why Glendale firefighters are refreshing their environmental emergency skills.
Approximately 175 firefighters will participate in a two-hour long refresher course over the next several weeks during the department’s regularly scheduled weekly medical training known as “EMS Wednesdays” that will cover things like bee stings and anaphylactic shock.
The Glendale Fire Department’s Emergency Medical Services Division is conducting the training, which will include up-to-date information, review of protocols and lifesaving drug dosages, an examination of recent bee calls, and an opportunity for firefighters to partake in a realistic anaphylactic shock scenario that includes a life-size mannequin.
