I've seen a few pictures of ground ambulance crews having headsets, and just kinda wondering what is going on, because i can't see a reason for it? Anybody have anything on this?

because these are like full flight headsets
We have some ambulances where it is unbearable. You can barely hear the radio if the siren is on and talking to your partner is next to impossible. Luckily those rigs are now on our BLS fleet so the lights and sirens don't get used much.When I work on a cct type III it's not that bad tbh, and my hearing isn't shot. L&s gets a bit difficult at times, but nothing that's intolerable

That and I've heard that some older rigs had the sirens mounted high on the box, I.e. on top of the cab, while newer ones mount the sirens down low on like the grill or front bumper so they're not quite so loud from inside the cab.I guess it has to do with insulation now? Not edumakated on the vehicle itself

Yes, and it makes a huge difference with sound traveling to the inside of the cab. Honestly head sets are a good idea, and I wish we had them.That and I've heard that some older rigs had the sirens mounted high on the box, I.e. on top of the cab, while newer ones mount the sirens down low on like the grill or front bumper so they're not quite so loud from inside the cab.
