Welcome to CTEX! On behalf of California State Firefighters ’ Association I want to welcome you to the inaugural California Training & Education Expo (CTEX) at the beautiful Pechanga Resort Casino.

NFPA addresses many aspects of the fire service, including job performance requirements, deployment, equipment and ap paratus, through its standards. NFPA also keeps track of fire loss trends through data analytics and researches emerging issues, from house fires to wildfires. This presentation will update the issues that affect first responders and responder safety. Paradigm Shift in EMS 3:30 — 5:00 pm Instructor: Marc Eckstein, MD, MPH, FACEP, FAEMS Fire departments across the nation continue to be challenged by rising call loads, an increase in low acuity calls for chronic medical conditions, mental health issues, and substance abuse problems. Many of these patients do not require ambu lance transport to an ER, but they do need assistance and ser vices. Paramedics are getting burned out responding to so many of these calls, making them unavailable to respond to the patients who truly need their life - saving skills. Real time telemedicine and patient navigation finally allows EMS to break from the “ You call, we haul ” model. Low acuity patients can be safely treated in place and then social workers will follow up to provide linkage to primary care and commu nity services. This model takes patient care and public safety to the next level, while reducing response times to critical calls and improving paramedic morale. Transforming emer gency care … the time is now!

AD5 Seeing What Others Don ’ t: How the Fire and Emergency Medical Services can be Trained to Identify Human Trafficking 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm Instructors: Heather Marques and Benjamin Thomas Greer The American Fire and Emergency Medical Services sit at a criti cal juncture of public health, public security, and public trust. As community based first responders, they have unique access to environments which would be otherwise inaccessible to law enforcement or social services. All available data indicates many of our communities have a significant human trafficking problem; one that is targeting and exploiting the most vulnera ble among us. Studies show firefighters and paramedics are likely to unknowingly interact with victims/survivors of traffick ing and or be exposed to trafficking related suspicious activity. By properly training and integrating Fire/EMS personnel in the national antitrafficking response structure we will significantly increase our ability to identify human trafficking related suspi cious behavior, victims of exploitation thus hold the perpetra tors accountable for their criminal actions. This class will pre pare agencies for responding to Assembly Bill 2130, requiring new EMTs and paramedics to undergo mandatory human trafficking awareness training, and create a pathway for train ing first responders statewide in intervention.
