That was hilarious, it actually scared the crap out of me as well a little bit. Thank God no one was in the house because she could have easily pulled the trigger :sad:

CNN^ Okay so the mother left with the kid to go out of the country. This is wrong, I mean if the kids survival rate was like 90% with chemo, he has got to have it. The kid can't think straight, I'm a kid and I know I can't think straight, let alone make life and death situations. The mom...

Thanks for the response, appreciate it. :)

Oh okay, good luck on the book! I have a question about water rescue. 1. When you guys get calls, how do you get them? Usually in the mountains phone reception doesn't work. 2. Do people usually survive the rough waters? I was thinking if it takes about an hour to get to them how do...

Oh okay, cool. Is this SAR Manual I hear you talking about going to be published and released to the public? I would like to have a look at it. Yeah yosemite's geological features are incredible, a bunch of tourists as well. I don't like how its become a place where everyone goes with cameras...

Yeah that would probably be a good idea to take those classes. Although the only rivers we have here in San Diego are either completely dry or dripping water after it rains. But we definently have high angle rescue in the summer when alot of people are at the beach. Notice the high cliffs at...

I learned this from an instructor while going white water rafting in or around the Sierras. I actually fell off in a big rapid but I put my feet up, it is so you don't hit the rocks and you break your legs right?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_Safety Core public safety services * Police * Fire * Emergency medical services (EMS) * Security agency

Ahahaha, you make me laugh man :lol: Fire is actually closely related to EMS. Its all public safety.

Oh okay, Thanks for the clarification. I actually go to school near a fire station and hospital so we get alot of the emergency response. When ever a fire truck goes by code 3 everyone thinks there is a fire.

That is what I am wondering what the difference is in the medical field. My local fire department runs almost 80% medical calls, so what is the big difference?

Hello, I want to be a firefighter paramedic but I am curious what the difference is of a firefighter paramedic and a paramedic working on an ambulance. Apart from the obvious stuff (ambulance paramedics don't go into fires) what is the difference? Why don't you guys work on fire trucks...

Was the lamp on? In school we grew a vegetable (forgot what it was) and we used lamps. The seeds did sprout and grew as long as the experiment lasted.

Its better than high school.

Actually, you are right about #1. In the Sierras last summer we were out on a river right after a water fall that was about 5-10 feet high. There were rocks everywhere. You could actually get right under the waterfall and it would feel really good. A little while later an adult male walked...

I attached a chart from Wikipedia showing the Richter scale and the damages from the different magnitudes.

Do plants grow in moonlight? My science fair project.

Hello, I am 15 and want to work in Fire / EMS, interesting to see that there are alot more males than females in the poll.

Well actually in Yosemite during the summer it can get very warm, sometimes in the 90's. Going in 40 degree water is painful. At camp what we did was run on the sand for 1-2 minutes to warm our bodies then jump in. It is not comfortable at all but after a while you get used to it. It is all...

Thankyou for the reminder, If my mom decides to send me to Yosemite summer camp then I will definitely be careful. I have been in their rivers before and let me tell you, they are VERY VERY cold. I have seen many idiots at Vernal Falls swimming across the river onto the cliffs. You do not at...
