Ok, pretty run of the mill story about CO poisoning, we usually have a few incidents nationwide as temperatures start to drop... but this quote leaves me scratching my head.

"One emergency medical worker suffered a broken leg during the evacuation after jumping from a wall to get to another part of the school, Bailey said. He had no further details on that incident."

Excuse me. But say WHAT? What makes you think it's a good idea to jump off of walls during an MCI/exposure incident? Hello?

Thoughts, anyone? I know it's not much to go on... but it makes me go "wait... really?"

Someone please smack that provider with a 2x4

My initial thought was, "What a dumbass." Then I thought a little more. What exactly do they mean by a wall? Was it one of those 2-3' walls that surrounds a garden and the provider was just stepping over it and tripped? I enjoy some of the what if's we develop around here but I don't think there is enough info in this case to really come up with anything valuable.
