I wouldn't say never, I definitely think there are some situations when it can be used depending on the situation, traffic, speed, car, road size. This street/area is pretty wide, 2 lane on both sides and a broken yellow center lane @ approx 35mph. My split second decision thought process...

On my way home, it's midnight and the road is dark and empty(or so I thought). I see a tiny stationary spec up ahead.. about 1-2 seconds later, I realized I was about to hit a bunny. I swerved hard to the left but the damn thing sprinted towards my trajectory and *thud* "I couldn't have ran...

+1 Rookie here, I did 1 week of orientation and class time. I've been on 2 shifts. My very first call was an emergency, near syncope/nausea and I was all alone in the back (why my company doesn't do a 3 man crew on my first day, I don't know). My partner had to tell me how to work the radio...

May 8. Matter of fact, I got this email from them. Dear Recipient: Thank you for your interest in Rural Metro/San Diego Medical Service Enterprises. A public-private partnership between Rural Metro and the City of San Diego. However, at this time, we are not actively hiring for...

I actually applied there first and I got an email back saying they aren't hiring (even though the website says they do). I'll call first thing tomorrow for another follow up. edit: I remember the day I got my license, I looked up the RM website and saw the listing. It sure got my hopes up hehe.

atleast you got an interview. about 8 applications and follow up calls later; none are hiring so far. :sad:

I was on the 08 fall class with a funny lady instructor, short hair (I dont think we can drop names in this forum) M,W 1-5pm.

wow.. lots of 70/80s here. I had 128ish and passed first try.

You might have saved me headaches down the road. I actually did ask about the contracts since I thought Rural and AMR are the big two, I didn't quite follow his response... along the lines of "Balboa is also one of the main companies here" (El Cajon city). Hehe, I don't know. Maybe I'm just...

I'll try that. Thanks for the tip.

Nice. Did you graduate recently? which school did you go to for your emt?

Thanks for all the replies, they're gold. I went to pacific yesterday and they didn't have an application handy, they told me to fill one out online. The guy also said they just hired a bunch of guys a week ago so I missed it basically. I'll keep calling though. I was suppose to have an...

Wow, I never even heard of them. I was planning on going to Palomar college for my paramedic studies. That changes things a bit. Thanks for the tip.

I'd love to go to medic school but don't you need to work full time in an ambulance for a year as a requirement? unless I'm mistaken.

Hey all, I had this grand plan to work for AMR or Rural metro after finishing my EMT class. 4 months after course completion, I've gathered all my paperwork and licenses for the DMV and the San Diego county. Reality hit me hard seeing that AMR and Rural metro aren't even hiring. So far, I've...
