EMS responders were thrust into physical danger. Both cities were set afire and gangs of people rushed to loot local stores (Feiner 10). EMT's and other EMS personnel put their lives in direct jeopardy to perform their jobs. .
Besides rioting and gang violence, EMS personnel are often faced with other more maniacal acts of violence, such as domestic terrorism. The most gruesome example of this is the case of the bombing of the Federal Building in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The direct targets for this disaster were the civil servants that worked in the building. EMS workers suffered emotional trauma from the shear devastation of the building. News reports depicted the various branches of the EMS workforce as relentless in their search for survivors. EMS responders appeared to be exhausted, but yet somehow were able to continue their tasks in victim recovery. .
Lastly, the weather conditions or the climate the rescue is being performed can be a natural danger to EMS personnel. For example, one can evaluate the recovery effort by rescuers of ValueJet Flight 592. The plane crashed into waters of the Florida Everglades. The crash took place in murky waters and hampered all recovery efforts .
(Macko 1996). The search for the plane and the body recovery was difficult due to the location of the crash. The crash site was inaccessible because it was far from any road .
and could only be reached by airboat or helicopter (Macko 1996). Secondly, one can also evaluate the efforts of the rescuers of the more recent crash of SwissAir flight 111. Although the response of rescuers here was swift, the darkness and stormy conditions limited the recovery efforts until daybreak. By early morning, only 18 bodies were recovered from the 229 passenger's list (ERRI Emergency Services Report 1998). .
What can EMS personnel do to protect themselves? The following are some recommendations made by the Clark State, EMT-P, Assistant Chief Paramedic (retired) for the Chicago Fire Department.
