Join us in recognizing a team of first responders from the Dayton Fire Department for their above and beyond care for one of our patients this summer! 👏

Lieutenants Derrick Wilcox and Joe Cloud, and firefighters Rusty Ashley, Zach Heitkamp, Matt Thomas, Erik Neal and Brandon Adkins received a special “challenge coin” for their response to a call in July.

A child suffered severe injuries after she was struck and dragged by a truck while riding her bike with her family. The crew navigated the high-pressure situation with precision and speed. By stabilizing the child and getting her to Dayton Children’s Level I Pediatric Trauma Center within the first hour, they gave her the best chance at an optimal outcome.

“We are so grateful to have partners like the Dayton Fire Department,” says Tami Wiggins, senior director of emergency services for Dayton Children’s. “While they are trained to handle tragedy, less than 10 percent of the calls they get are for children. It takes another level of rigorous training and deep commitment to be ready for the unique challenges that come with traumatic injuries in kids.”

Thank you for your continued partnership and dedication to providing above and beyond care to children across the city! 👏💙

🚨10 QUICK FIREWORKS SAFETY TIPS!🚨

1. Always use fireworks outside and have a bucket of water/hose nearby in case of accidents.

2. Designate a safety perimeter.

3. Ditch faulty fireworks.

4. Supervise children when they are handling sparklers.

5. Don’t forget about your pets! Fireworks can be extremely stressful for pets. Keep your pets indoors.

6. Soak both spent and unused fireworks in water for a few hours before discarding.

7. Never place a part of your body directly over a firework or hold a firework in your hand when lighting.

8. Only light one firework at a time.

9. Avoid alcohol consumption when handling or using fireworks. This should be pretty self-explanatory.

10. Consider safe alternatives to fireworks such as party poppers, bubbles, silly string, or glow sticks.
