    Firefighter Tim Jew


    Non-English Speaking Tool

    Firefighter Tim Jew developed the Non-English Speaking Tool (NEST) to help emergency personnel communicate with non-English speaking victims


    There are many recent immigrants living in Silicon Valley, and that means language barriers can often complicate the jobs of emergency workers. Santa Clara County Fire Department's new Non-English Speaking Tool (NEST) may be a solution to this problem. With the help of community members, Jew said, the fire department has translated key phrases into 13 different languages--Chinese, Farsi, Spanish, French, Tagalog, Portuguese, Italian, Russian, German, Polish, Armenian, Japanese and Korean.   More
