Orem's public safety is enhanced with new, state-of-the-art equipment and a critical care paramedic program that provides for ground-based care usually reserved for helicopters.
OREM — Did you know that fire hydrants in Utah are plumbed differently than hydrants in Florida? Do you know what to do when you see flashing lights or hear the siren of an approaching fire truck or ambulance?
For fans of television shows and movies about firehouses, they do get some things right — such as the medical jargon — and, also, many things wrong. "One man's job in any structure fire is to get to the roof, the engine company below is going in with hoses, and when he cuts a hole and punches the roof to vent some heat and smoke, the visibility is improved a little bit for the teams below searching for victims," said Monahan., Monahan doesn't bark out orders when trucks pull up to a fire — which is typically a dramatic moment on TV shows.
Despite its length, the tiller is much more maneuverable than a traditional engine. The engine and ladder portions of the truck are separate, and it is steered from both the front and the rear. The ambulance at Station 33 is typically staffed with a paramedic and an emergency medical technician, in addition to all Orem firefighters being trained as emergency medical technicians.
There were multiple calls of people having strokes that day, one at a crowded wedding reception and one injured party at a traffic accident — one of two traffic accidents responded to by Station 33 that day.
