Doctors and nurses from Harborview Medical Center suited up for a first-hand look at what it means to be a first responder in Federal Way. "We spend time with our burn survivors in the hospital taking care of them and we don't really interface all that much with what happens before the hospital," said Dr. Dylan Jason, a burn surgeon with the Harborview Burn Center.
