I recieved the following from thesecretlist.com and have posted it for anyone interested. It is a survey about dealing with critically injured firefighters. If you have the time check it out. You may have to cut and paste the links to use them. And if you haven't joined the secret list, you should.

Hey....
After nearly a year of researching, assessing, and discussing the
importance of caring for the needs of Firefighters who have been
critically injured in the line of duty, the Int'l Association of Fire
Chiefs Safety, Health and Survival Section (www.IAFCSafety.org

) has released a short survey (link to survey is below) to collect
more detailed and specific information on those needs. The survey will
assist the IAFC SHS in gathering resources in developing sample SOG's
for departments to use in the event of a critical firefighter injury.
While we have all been very strongly focused on the issues of LODD
(and will continue to be)...an area that requires additional focused
attention is critical FIREFIGHTER INJURY.*

Link to survey: http://www.zoomerang.com/Survey/?p=WEB228D3JXPZZ4

Please help the IAFC SHS spread the word about this survey so that
they can obtain as much information as possible. If you know of a
firefighter or emergency medical service worker who has been injured,
please let them know about this survey. It is confidential and the
information gathered will only be reviewed by the project committee.

By the way, even if you are NOT A CHIEF, you can JOIN the IAFC as an
affiliate active member including being a part of the IAFC Safety,
Health and Survival Section for just $100.00 total. If interested,

The IAFC SHS can certainly use those who are insanely focused on the
issues of firefighter safety, health and survival and who want to get
involved with the related IAFC SHS committees and projects...
Here, take a look at what you could become involved with:
