| Posted about 1 month ago personal Injuries A good group to check out for help is CISM. They can direct you to help in dealing with such a wreck. Help someone is some way everyday. Standing at the ready, Tail wagging; ready to run !! |

| Posted about 1 month ago Aren't all injuries personal? Do you mean personnel, as in fellow FF's? Jeff Draper

| Posted about 1 month ago Good question, but personal injury makes more sense. Personnel injury would infer that it was a member of the responding dept or organization involved in the accident. personal- of, pertaining to, or coming as from a particular person; individual; private.
personnel- a body of persons employed in an organization or place of work.
infer- to derive by reasoning; conclude or judge from premises or evidence.

| Posted about 1 month ago All I know is that when "PI" is used by our dispatch , in a call , then an ambulance would be sent and medical attention possibly rendered. This also helps us know how bad the wreck may be. A head on or roll over as opposed to a fender bender. Help someone is some way everyday. Standing at the ready, Tail wagging; ready to run !! |

| Posted about 1 month ago Copy! Yea when we get an MVA call in western Colorado, dispatch usually states Injury accident, Non Injury Accident, or unknown if injury accident. "Unknown" because the general public love's their cell phones but don't like to stop and see if their are any injuries. |

| Posted about 1 month ago PI...refers to Personal Injury Accident...... PI's get police AND medical responses... opposed to a : PD or PDA....PROPERTY damage accident......no injury...police only response... |
|
| Posted about 1 month ago when i respond to a crash with a possible P.I. we call it a fatality accident.. |

| Posted 24 days ago There is nothing like a one vehicle MVA , you arrive on scene to find five vehicles all over the interstate. That get your heart a pumping..Got to love them people on them cell phones. |

| Posted 24 days ago Guess I was way off. I was thinking PI was Pin In since we were talking about MVA's. Never heard of Personal Injury............. Ross Caston
