Recognize the Threat: What Meth-Labs Mean to
Emergency Responders
EMS Credit: Approved for 6.0 OE Instructor(s): Dennis Correll, Medford, Minnesota
Objective: Responding to a meth lab whether it is for a fire, explosion, or a medical
emergency could be very dangerous. They are not always what they seem. You could

could put your life and those around you at risk. Knowing what not to do could be the
secret to surviving. If you are the first to arrive, you could be held liable for public safety
and department injuries. The meth producers are not only using chemicals to produce
methamphetamine, but they may be using booby traps and other devices to control the
local drug market and protect their labs from outside intruders. Unsuspecting police,
fire, and EMS personnel could stumble into these devices and become the next victim. Long term health hazards are always a big concern. In this course, we will look at meth
labs and what chemicals are used. Then, we will look at how devices are used and the
reasoning behind them in an attempt to make you safer.

Stress Debriefing for Emergency Services
EMS Credit: Approved for 3.0 OE Instructor(s): Dennis Correll, Medford, Minnesota
Objective: Critical Incident “STRESS DEBRIEFING” is a necessary tool to use when the
confines of the job or scene create excessive emotional distress and/or mental fatigue and
goes beyond one’s normal mental coping ability. There are a number of things that can
set it off; from a tragic death of a child, to a line of duty death, or even just getting a call for
someone that you know. When this happens, many times these situtations become very
dangerous when the responding personnel lose the capability to think, focus, and work safely. These situations can affect one responder or the whole department, and the after effects can
last from weeks to years. The problems can range from a medical condition, to depression,
to suicide, and lead to family break-ups, loss of employment, and burn out of first responders. The goal of a stress debriefing course is to prevent these things from happening by allowing
those involved a chance to express their emotions and let their feelings out. In this class, we
will look at the indicators of stress, how to manage them, and some coping ideas.

The Art of Reading Smoke

firefighters a process to read smoke and predict hostile fire events.
