Although this event was a little thin for help, those that did make the event had a great deal of fun. R1 headed off to the Great White North about 9am and stopping at the A&W for lunch then met up with Kim and Jen at the hotel. Having been requested by the Rally master to go run the roads and look for downed trees on Thursday (he REALLY had to twist arms for that...) Paul and Jen headed off for the woods. It was soon readily apparent that Jen was a "keeper" that could navigate. Kudo's to Kim for a great "find". Paul also found that the "fail-safe" on the passenger side was adjusted a little light so instead of looking for the "giggle factor" he opted to look for the "wooh's" and "Ahh's". Having never got giggles he did get a number of Woohs, and panicked Ahhh's from Jen. This yielded the adjusted name of "Screaming Keeper".

BMW Gets a wet weekend

Monday, May 15 2006 @ 11:07 PM CDT

The BMW event this last weekend was pretty much eclipsed by the News from the Scholes family. But for the record...

The event was complete with rain for the first day and a half. with rain dissipating (but still overcast at noon Saturday R1 decided for a change of venue with R5. This would later prove to be a point of glee for R5 as a late afternoon a brief heavy downburst provided the needed wetness for a sufficent lack of traction in a porcshe. Three walls later (R-L-R) the car came to rest against the right wall and R5 was first on scene from the base of the tower. R1 provided backup and track clean-up operations from the point of first impact.

Weekday Update

This was to be about the Slowpokes event on Monday but because of other news today I'll keep it to a mayday "off" at 9 into the gurad rail (no injuries and minor body damage to the car)

The real news is being relayed as recieved. Scott is a member of Red Light and has worked hard for us in the past. Please put this request at the top of your "to do" list. (Don has also worked with RLR in the past, and a number of us have worked with both Don and Scott at CRA events)
Thanks.

Subject: Scottie's son

I just got off the phone with Scottie (Safety 1) and his son Chris might be
on his last days of survival. A few weeks ago Chris came down with a serious
bacteria and spread fast though out his body.

Scottie was driving up here to be here within a few days but Chris took a
turn for the worst and may not be around for the weekend. Scottie was at the
Mexico border when he got a phone call from the hospital saying the he needs
to get up here ASAP. He turned around and started to head back home to grab
a fight to Mpls sometime today.

He wanted to to pass this onto the CRA family and make sure everyone's
thoughts & prayers are for Chris right now.

Please pass this everyone that might know Chris or Scottie.

Chris is at Methodist Hospital (St. Louis Park) in ICU #19.

If you have Scottie's cell phone number you might want to wait a day or so
before you call him, he has been over helmed with calls in the last day or
so.

LET'S ALL KEEP OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS FOR CHRIS.........

Racing/Towing Story

This message is intended as an FYI. After reading the story Al found (see below) and his logic I would re-iterate that I not only concur with Al, but will continue to state that vehicle extrication is the second most dangerous job in rally/racing. The first being that of driver/navigator. (even that could be debated as they have more safety gear on)

Item passed on at Al's request and with my concurrance.

Pre-Season Meeting

Saturday, March 04 2006 @ 03:20 PM CST
Contributed by: RLRescue
Views: 917

Wow, how fast a winter can go...It's already time to get thinking about next season.

The annual pre-season meeting for the Red Light group was held on Saturday (3/25) With good attendance, we covered the items on the agenda and watched a few crash videos. Minutes for the meeting are part of this article. For those not present there will be little change from last year. We are looking to expand on our "durable goods" supply and should know better about that in a few weeks. RLR is investigating the manufacture of 12 set of flags and will be purchasing some Sterile wash and a "hats off" device for events.

Many thanks to all attending. I'll adjust next years start time to accomidate this years schedules.... ;-)

Monster Garage does IIRA @ Garrison

Views: 744

Monster Garage brought the show to Garrison, MN for a IIRA event sponsored by the TCIRA. The Winter Carnival event was the inaugural event for the latest creation from Monster Garage. The 'Monster' Ice Cream Truck came complete with a 600hp 455 and the coolers needed to serve the best ice cream around; Cold Stone. Red Light Rescue was there to assist with the filming and as part of the crew for Original Productions, Inc.

That brings to 5 the number of RLR folks that have moved onto other larger venues based partially on training and experience thru RLR. Scott is at Phoenix International, Jerry has NHRA, Laurie just got asked to work Texas International and Paul and Brian just handled a production company. Not bad for the little company that could.

Former EMT guilty in defibrillator prank death

*Associated Press*
Last update: January 24, 2006 - 12:51 PM

LEBANON, Va. -- A judge convicted a former rescue squad worker of involuntary manslaughter for zapping a co-worker with defibrillator paddles in what turned out to be a deadly prank.

Joshua Philip Martin, 25, faces up to 10 years in prison when he is sentenced in March. Circuit Court Judge Michael Lee Moore, who found him guilty after Martin entered a no contest plea, said Monday he likely will order prison time.

Martin had been on the job four days when he carried out the deadly prank on June 1.

Courtney Hilton Rhoton told Martin not to touch her with the paddles, but moments later, he placed the device on her chest and shoulder and activated it, prosecutors said. The 23-year-old mother of two small children went into cardiac arrest. Her body first stiffened and then went limp. Rhoton, who had been an emergency medical technician for one year, never regained consciousness and died three days later.

Martin was not yet qualified to use the defibrillator, which is used to restart a patient's heart with an electric current. Martin's mother, Diane White, said he meant no harm and "just made a mistake." Rhoton's sister, Chanda Lawson, said, "They're crying because he's going to jail, but my sister's not coming back."
