Dear Friend of the LAFD:
Chances are that your e-mail inbox has filled with messages like this:
"Make the Paramedics job easier with ICE. ICE stands for In Case of
Emergency . If you add an entry in the contacts list in your cell
phone under ICE..."
Since mid-July, the Los Angeles Fire Department has received
thousands of e-mail inquiries, all seeking to know "Is this true"?
The quick answer?
The "ICE" concept is indeed known to the men and women of the LAFD.
It is obviously an idea that gives people peace of mind - yet should
not be relied upon as a sole source for personal identification or
emergency contacts.
Our friends at Snopes.com offer a good deal of information about the
history of ICE and some regretful hoaxes that have followed. To
access this information, you can visit:

The Los Angeles Fire Department thinks of ICE as a potentially
helpful tool in the minutes and hours that follow an emergency.
However...
Contrary to several chain e-mail warnings, ICE is not something that
Paramedics will rush to look for the instant they arrive at an
emergency, and is certainly not required in order for LAFD Paramedics
to provide quick, focused and compassionate emergency care.
We tell people: Add ICE to your cell phone only after you've affixed
similar information to (or near) the official photo identification
you routinely carry in your wallet.
Why?
With so many types and brands of wireless phones, it can take
precious minutes to learn to how to access a phone's directory. Many
wireless devices are also found to be locked, damaged or have
discharged batteries following an incident, rendering ICE unusable.
Please do encourage your interested friends and colleagues to make an
ICE entry in their cell phone, especially if it will give them peace
of mind - but not at the expense of written emergency contact and
medical information.
Whenever you have questions about the policies and procedures our
Firefighter /Paramedics use in handling emergencies, please do not
hesitate to visit your Neighborhood Fire Station:

Respectfully Yours in Safety and Service,
Brian Humphrey
