Firefighter could be fired for saving lives A firefighter has been warned he could be fired if he uses his medical training to save injured people while carrying out fire calls.
Joe McMahon, a former paramedic who is now a firefighter based in Wimbledon, helped ambulance workers who were struggling to treat five casualties. But instead of being praised, his employers told him he could be fired for misconduct if he used his medical training again.
After a disciplinary hearing he was told he might be sacked and sent a letter which warned: "When you are working as a London firefighter you are ordered not to give any medical treatment except first aid."

Parents Sent Detention Notice After Wrong Button Was Pushed
February 12, 2008
PALM BAY, Fla. -- The parents of all 2,550 Palm Bay High School students received a phone call informing them that their child was due for weekend detention.
There was no coordinated uprising at the school. An accidental push of a button sent the automated call to the homes of the entire student body instead of the intended 16.
One parent didn't believe her son's protests that he had done nothing wrong and took him to school Saturday morning anyway. When they learned of the glitch, Amy Stewart took her son Jimmy to breakfast to make up for it. Assistant superintendent Steve Muzzy called the problem "an unfortunate human mistake."
