Fire Department offers free training on new CPR technique
About 80 percent of all out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occur in private residential settings, so being trained to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) can mean the difference between life and death for a loved one.
Are you prepared and confident in your ability to perform CPR and use an AED when seconds count?
Scottsdale Fire Department offers free presentations on the new CPR technique called Continuous Chest Compressions (CCC). This technique is easy, safe, and does not require mouth-to-mouth contact. CCC takes only minutes to learn, is easy to perform and can dramatically improve a person’s chance of surviving a heart attack.
Free community workshops on the new CCC resuscitation technique will be held:
2-3:30 pm, Saturday, Aug. 1, 2009 at Fire Dept. Headquarters; 8401 E. Indian School Road
10-11:30 am, Saturday, Aug. 15, 2009 at the Mountain View Community Center; 8625 E. Mountain View Road
6-7:30 pm, Wednesday, Sept. 2, 2009 at Fire Dept. Headquarters; 8401 E. Indian School Road
9:30 - 11 am, Saturday, Sept. 19, 2009 at Fire Dept. Headquarters; 8401 E. Indian School Road
Scottsdale Fire Department staff and volunteers will teach you how to respond to a cardiac emergency including important tips for calling 911, performing chest compressions, and how to use an AED.
Please note: No CPR certification cards will be issued at these presentations. To register, visit www.scottsdaleaz.gov/fire/CCC-CPR or call 480-312-8000.
For more information or to schedule a group CCC presentation, contact Patty Jo Angelini at (480) 312-1815 or email pangelini@ScottsdaleAZ.gov.

Indecent exposure subject sighted again in Flagstaff
On July 25, at about 11:20pm, a heavy-set, hispanic man in a small, tan SUV drove into the Wicked AZ drive-thru. The man was masturbating in the vehicle as he sat at the window of the business. Minutes after this crime, a heavy-set “hispanic male with a big belly” in the same tan SUV committed the same crime at the other Wicked AZ location. These crimes match the suspect and vehicle descriptions of the crimes which occurred on July 15 on the east side of Flagstaff. If the public has any information on the suspect’s or SUV description, please call the Flagstaff Police Department at 928-774-1414 or Silent Witness at 928-774-6111.

Update: I-10 collision
On July 24, 2009, at 9:07 a.m., a semi-truck pulling two trailers was traveling eastbound on Interstate 10 when, for an unknown reason, the vehicle veered off the roadway causing the truck to overturn in the right shoulder. The commercial vehicle caught fire immediately. The driver of the semi was deceased on scene.
Driver/Deceased: Shari Wood Linder, 50, of Quinlan, Texas
Co-Driver/Injured: Ricky Keith Linder, 53, of Quinlan, Texas
The truck was carrying automotive products and cleaning products which included aerosol cans.
The fire was so intense it completely engulfed the semi-truck and came in contact with overhead power lines. As a result, Arizona Department of Public Safety (DPS) Officers closed both the eastbound and westbound lanes of Interstate 10 at Picacho Peak.
The westbound lanes were reopened at 1:09 p.m. and one eastbound lane was re-opened at about 1:30 p.m. All lanes of the interstate were open as of 3:40 p.m.
The truck is owned by Saia Trucking. The Linder’s, who were married, were traveling from Blythe, California to El Paso, Texas. They have been driving together as a team for about ten years.
Ricky Linder remains in stable condition with non life threatening injuries at UMC Tucson.

Yuma Fire had their hands full
From Thursday night (7/23) through Friday morning (7/24) the Yuma Fire Department responded to several significant incidents.
Shortly after 9:00 pm a fire was reported at 17th Street and Madison Avenue. Arriving YFD personnel found several pieces of furniture on fire in front of 1701 South Madison Avenue. The fire was extinguished but it had already destroyed two couches and done minor damage to the home’s exterior. This fire is being investigated by both fire and police as a possible arson. There were no injuries.
Shortly before 11:00 pm YFD personnel were called to the scene of a traffic crash on 32nd Street and Avenue 5E. Arriving personnel found the semi-truck and passenger vehicle involved in the crash to be completely on fire. The fire was extinguished but both vehicles were completely destroyed. Four occupants of the semi had escaped the vehicle after the crash and later refused treatment. The passenger vehicle had one occupant, the driver, who was deceased. The crash is being investigated by the Yuma Police Department.
At 1:45 am a fire was reported in the area of the Greyhound Park, 4000 South 4th Avenue. Arriving YFD units found flames and smoke coming from a large structure (once used as a kennel) and surrounding debris. The fire was extinguished but firefighters encountered downed live power lines and high winds. Significant damage was done to the structure, but it was contained to the immediate area of the initial fire. There were no injuries. The fire was believed to have originated at the power pole, which was also on fire.
At 5:15 am heavy smoke was reported in the area of 16th Street and 9th Avenue. Arriving YFD personnel found the source of the smoke to be coming from a home in the 1400 block of 9th Avenue. Smoke and flames were coming from the home at 1425 South 9th Avenue. Firefighters extinguished the fire. The home was not occupied. Significant damage was done to the property, but it did not spread to nearby homes. Fire and Police Department personnel are investigating. There were no injuries.
Arizona Department of Public Safety (DPS) Officers investigate an Improvised Explosive Device
On Friday, July 24, 2009, at about 6:07 a.m., Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) maintenance workers located an apparent hand grenade along U.S. 60, near Sossaman Road. The device was an apparent WW II style practice grenade, which had been modified into an improvised explosive device.
Arizona Department of Public Safety (DPS) officers, along with members of the Explosive Ordinance Disposal (EOD) unit responded to the area. Officers secured the scene and the device was remotely dismantled by EOD personnel. The device was located over a hill, near the sound barrier wall; therefore, there were no road closures along U.S. 60.
The device was rusted and appeared to have been in the area for some time. Anyone with information is asked to contact DPS at pio@azdps.gov
