KATV Channel 7 - The Spirit of Arkansas: Fire department educated on sexual assault response

Kate Vincent gave firefighters information that may not be readily available, especially when emergencies involve rape and sexual assault.

Vincent is director of the sexual assault program, a division of the Women's Shelter of Central Arkansas,

"This is obviously a very uncomfortable subject to talk about," Vincent said. "But it's important to know the facts and to know how to deal with victims, especially if (firefighters) are the first ones on a scene."
