Walt Disney huh??? Thats a hoot!!!

We dont really have a confined space rescue team. EVERYONE that works there is a member of the rescue team. Just like EVERYONE is a member of the firefighting team.

congrats!!!

JEMS Connect is how I found this site.

This same thread is over on JEMSconnect. If you do the math, it works out to be ABOUT .00086 % of the TOTAL number of medics and EMT's working today. A really small percentage. I DO NOT condone the actions there people are accused of.. and the important word here is ACCUSED. Just making a comment

Thanks. After I posted that... the title made me feel like I should be riding the "short bus"

Not at our mine. We have an excellent safety record. Not saying no one gets hurt.. but we have not had any MAJOR injuries.

They actually tried to pass a "Seatbelts on Motorcycle" law here in Colorado.... it made it about 5 minutes then went away. I feel "Let those who ride decide" and as far as taking away my cert for not wearing it... I think not

I work in an Underground Coal Mine and I would consider what I do to be a "specialty type" of EMS. I am starting class in February. Glad to be here!!

After an almost 15 year "hiatus" I have decided to get back in. My work is sending me to class starting in February. I work at an underground coal mine. Glad to be getting back into EMS... i have missed it!!!

Ive been lucky I guess.... Ive never had any really long transfers. Blessing of living in a Metro area. Now that I am living in a rural area and the "big hospital" is 45 minutes away... that may change.
