Alcohol-Based Hand Sanitiser Warning
• This report is in relation to a Company customer with an employee who used alcohol-based hand gel sanitiser, as per the current recommendations for COVID-19 personal hygiene requirements.
• After application, but before the liquid sanitiser had fully evaporated and dried, the individual touched a metal surface where a build-up of static created an ignition source and the sanitiser ignited, resulting in an almost invisible flame on both hands.
• The individual managed to extinguish the flames but was left with first and second degree burns.
What Went Wrong?:
• Hand sanitiser gels contain concentrations of alcohol. Once the hand sanitiser is applied, individuals must make sure the gel has suitable time to dry.
• In the interest of safety, remember that alcohol vapours can ignite if exposed to an ignition source, such as light switches or cigarette lighters.
Corrective Actions & Recommendations:
• When using the alcohol-based hand gel sanitisers, ensure the gel is given suitable time to fully dry/evaporate.
• Avoid touching any surface until the gel has fully dried. Any form of ignition source has the potential to cause the same issues as experienced by the individual.
• If unsure about using the alcohol-based sanitisers, washing hands with hot soapy water has the same effect as the hand gel.

On October 29, 2019 at the annual Sun City, Az. Elks Lodge #2559 “Fire, Law & Order Night” the Peoria Fire-Medical Department recognized Firefighter/Paramedic Jennifer Schroeder for her dedication and hard work to help develop and implement our Community Paramedicine Program.


Community Paramedicine utilizes the skills and experience of the firefighter paramedics in a preventative health care model.

Some roles the firefighter paramedics may fill include: providing follow-up care for people recently discharged from the hospital to prevent unnecessary readmissions; providing community-based support for people with issues like diabetes, asthma, or other chronic conditions and providing preventative care in underserved communities.

The ultimate goal is to reduce hospital readmission rates, help discharged patients stay on the road to good health, reduce emergency room visits for preventable illnesses and reduce 911 calls for when emergency services may not be needed.

Community Paramedicine reduces health care costs by providing the right level of care in the most appropriate place based on individual’s medical needs.
Firefighter/Paramedic Schroeder received the award from Deputy Fire Chief Jim Bratcher. Also in attendance were Firefighter Schroeder’s mother Mary Landa, and her wife Nikki Nagle.

We have not forgotten.
