Best places to find BDUs is at a uniform supply store,I believe you can also find the other equipment you need at that store too. If you buy pants make sure to keep the receipt,cuz I do believe you can get reimbursed for uniform purchases.

The red cross unit im with use to do first-aid stations but we got out of it due to liability issues. I agree with fyrdog,instead of asking for donations of money,should ask for equipment. I know that some departments do bill for standbys at special events,it just depends how long the crew is...

Its something called adrenaline and for newbies,its a normal thing. I use to get "the rush" everytime the tones went off but the longer you are on the service you dont get the rush as much.

I can remember this one call and it is one I will never forget. It was the summer of,oh hell,I cant remember,lol,anyways I know I was a probationary member of the ambulance at the time and was on call,when I heard our tones go off but it was for a fire call,because the ambulance and fire dept...

Sometimes in the heat of the action,people will do crazy things just cuz they are over excited.

It may seem strange that cops actually do pull over ambulances while they are going non-emergency status but in some towns it does happen,and they dont care that you are driving an emergency vehicle,they will ticket you.
