and medical Center team Recognizing that falls are consistently among the top three causes of emergency medical calls to the Vancouver Fire Department, and the number one source of traumatic injuries treated at Southwest Washington Medical Center, the medical center and fire department are teaming up on a series of safety commercials that will be aired on Comcast channels beginning in 2006. The public service series will feature local citizens as well as members of the Vancouver Fire Department and the Southwest Washington Medical Center trauma team. Some of the 1,198 “I’ve fallen down and can’t get up” calls to which Vancouver firefighters responded, some were serious, some even life-threatening, but all were very often preventable, according to department spokesperson Marilyn Westlake.
