Breaking News: Young Girl Set On Fire In Salisbury
We stated that the young girl had been doused with a chemical and set on fire. We received this information from Firefighters and then confirmed that information within a Fire Department Website. The information is not accurate.
The young girl was standing very close to a stove in her home in which her shirt caught on fire and she was badly burned. Again, there were no chemicals involved and she was NOT set on fire.
How is she?!
ReplyDeleteShe is doing fine
ReplyDeleteThe farmin on the scene called for helicopter availability. Then waited on scene. Talked to Bayview Burn Center. Then requested Trooper 4 to meet them at the Salvation Army Football field. Called for a fire engine to standby. Fruitland Fire Department ambulance went to stand by(squireled the call). Utility 1, Assistant Chief 1, Paramedic 16, Paramedic 16-2 and then Engine 16 ended up at the Salvation Army. Think there was enough equipment there? Then when they met the helicopter, Trooper 4 they had to wait for the Fire Marshal coming from Fruitland. All this time the poor child is suffering from painful burns. They could have taken the patient direct to PRMC a Trauma Center and let them treat her until a decision was made where to transport her. So all this time the paid firemen are leaving this poor child away from the professionals at the hospital. Salisbury, especially where they picked that child up is only a few blocks away from the hospital. They could have controlled her pain much better. They wasted a lot of on scene time which is unheard of since the hospital is so close. They made that poor child suffer to long and that should be investigated. Although I doubt seriously and investigation would look the other way. The citizens of Salisbury deserve better care than that that is provided by some of the crews. This comes from poor leadership in the Salisbury Fire Department.
ReplyDeleteFunny you will not see the Black community applauding this great care and service this family received. There have been many cases where children are being burn in the kitchen. Three in last couple of months and all could have been prevented. All these children are scarred for life. They will endure months of pain.

ReplyDeleteSometimes accidents happen. It happened to me. When I was about 7 or 8 I jumped up to the kitchen table to eat dinner. When I did I hit the table and turned over a hot cup of coffee on the other side of the table. If it wasn't for the quick thinking of my Grandfather taking my shirt off as quick as he did it would have been much worse. My grandmother watched me like a hawk, but things happen no matter how well you tend to children. You can not prevent everything.
