From the desk

Cold is back on the board — treat it as an operational hazard, not weather

As the season turns, falling temperatures change how long you can work, how your patients present, and how your gear performs — plan for it on every call.

Cold-season hazards are shifting in — heating fires, CO calls and black ice ahead

Early November moves the risk picture from storm response toward heating fires, carbon monoxide and the first hard freezes, and your call mix will change with it.

The clocks have turned and the hazards that come with cold, dark, closed-up houses are back on your run card.
