FR1video — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 15:08:22 GMT

he force of a large television falling from tipping furniture can be staggering. A 50 lb. TV falls with about the same force as a bowling ball striking at 80 mph or a child falling from the third story of a building. That kind of impact can kill a child or cause severe injuries. About 16,000 (mostly young children) were treated in emergency rooms for tip-over related injuries in 2006, thats about four times more injuries than from exposed electrical outlets.

Firestorm trailer

FR1video — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 13:05:58 GMT

Every minute in the United States, an ambulance gets turned away from an emergency room because hospitals are simply too full. In Los Angeles, where the wait time in some ERs is as long as 48 hours, the entire 911 system is being challenged in ways that are alarming. FIRESTORM is a feature-length documentary that examines the health care crisis through the prism of the Los Angeles Fire Department. The LAFD handles all emergency medical services for the city of Los Angeles, and currently 82% of the department's work is medical, rather than fire-related. Eleven hospitals have closed in just five years in LA, and the challenge of delivering more than 500 patients per day to a shrinking number of hospitals is overwhelming to LAFD paramedics. With resources strained, and 911 being used for everything from heart attacks to stomach aches, LAFD paramedics have become virtual 'doctors in a box'. FIRESTORM asks, who will rescue the rescuers?
