Can't you just turn the siren off on the control unit for the siren?

I guess theoretically you could...but that's not generally what happens and rookies scare the hell out of themselves when they set the siren off with the horn.

Button pushing for the siren and lights are not a medic skill. It's purely an EMT skill :p

I can and do sleep like that in the truck. I guess I should bring my own pillow and stop stealing from this disposable ones....

I have slept like that and did "self extricate" but I have never been so stiff at work ever. 6' 2'' might be a little much in height for that small of a space.

It's one of my OCD things. If I'm not using it, it's turned off. Just tooling around town? Sirens off, siren/horn toggle set to horn, power switch for the back turned off.

But then how will I use the electronic air horn to express my displeasure with poor displays of Bostonian driving?

Did this. Same result lol

Don't get me started on Boston driving... especially Boston EMS.

That Lexus got bought out from under me. I got a 4runner instead. I think I'll be happier with it.

10 cars backed up at red light, but lanes in opposite direction clear? No problem... blare siren and horn until cars run the red light for us!


Don't get me started on the number of ambulances (albeit not Boston EMS) I saw running up the 93 with lights and sirens, but going the speed of traffic.

i'm 5'9'' and it takes me some finagling to get out of that position...I couldn't imagine another 5 inches on top of that.

I feel like you and I would either have a fantastic partner ship or a great friendship and not be able to work together :lol:

Take it back and get a Jeep :eek:)

HEEP HEEP HEEP HEEP! I love my Jeep. She's my baby.

Why is it that whenever I'm coming up with acronyms, the ones I remember best are the dirty ones?

My current acronym for the secondary assessment of the head is particularly... inappropriate. :eek:

Whether you like it or not they are way easier to remember that way.

Well I found some info on Ada County for you. Apparently they really like to hire people who drive Evos...so this could be a problem...
