    Horrific scene haunts first responders

    For Ray Corbo, first assistant fire chief at Newtown Hook & Ladder, the horrific images from Friday’s shooting rampage have taken a toll.

    There was the Newtown police officer who ran by him in the school’s parking lot, carrying a boy, limp in his arms.

    “The police officer’s uniform had blood all over it,” Corbo said.

    There were the teachers who, despite the chaos, kept order as they led their students away from the school building to the Sandy Hook firehouse.

    Please keep those responders from the dispatchers that took the call to the police officers, firefighters, EMS & medical examiners in your thoughts and prayers.

    Some discussions have been about putting a LEO in each school - who pays for it? In the end we do. I suggest get our soldiers out of other countries that do nothing but kill them dozens at a time and station one in each school.

    Better yet do more to care for and determine mentally ill people.

    Now on a different note, I hope a fund is established to provide years of mental health counseling for everyone in the school. It's really scary to think of how things can turn out 10 - 15 years from now.

    Very sad day 18 Children & 9 adults dead several injured in a Elementary school WFT???

    Edit 16:50: Updated total is 20 Children & 6 Adults and the shooter (who apparently took his own life) at the school. 1 offsite at a separate location.

    Words and prayers could do little for the families and the responder's who are are suffering.

    I hope that the responder's accept the help that will be provided, we need you to get through this.

    I will pray for them.

    Modern technology has developed Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) that is widely used for dispatching emergencies. Iit is based on several modules that work together that help you set up your basic alarms and more. It is common knowledge for people that work on CAD's that most are under utilized. There are many things that can be programed too including building information to hydrant location to equipment availability.

    It takes people to contact their dispatch centers and ask what can be done and then to gather accurate information to be entered....and ....keep it regulary updated.

    Maybe some dispatchers or people that work with CAD's can discuss what type of things are available.

    This $200 iPhone Case Is An FDA-Approved EKG Machine

    Most iPhone cases just protect your phone from drops. If you’re getting fancy, it may have a fisheye camera lens or a screen-printed back. But what about diagnosing coronary heart disease, arrhythmia, or congenital heart defects? The AliveCor Heart Monitor is an FDA-approved iPhone case that can be held in your hands (or dramatically pressed against your chest) to produce an EKG/ECG--the infamous green blips pulsing patient-side in hospitals everywhere.

    “We think that EKG screening can be as approachable as taking blood pressure,” AliveCor President and CEO Judy Wade tells Co.Design.

    There are several other people in the residence with Lembhard. It is not known whether they are hostages.
