South Charlotte Today

Charlotte Fire Department is participating in the 2022 Firefighter Safety Stand Down. Today we highlight EMS Resources: “Scene Safe, BSI.” 

These words have been uttered by every first responder who has ever received medical training. 

In fact, any responder who has performed a practical exercise for certification knows the first two mandatory skills to be completed on the evaluation checklist are: (1) Ensure the scene is safe before entering; and (2) Don protective gear (BSI – Body Substance Isolation).
