Very true! B)

None. Maryland doesn't allow the use of warning devices on pov's except for a limited number of line officers per company. :(

The worst part will be, when you say "shark attack," there will undoubtedly be people who believe you, and will want to know where the sharks came from! :lol:

Holy $#!^...what an incredible video! Can you imagine what must have been going through his mind as he tried to duck out of the way? Good grief!

I have found over the years that it is very difficult to be a female in emergency services and have a relationship with a guy who is not. I absolutely don't wish to stereotype, because I know that there are some guys out there who are the exception, but it seems like the guys who are not...

My name is Valerie, I am 34, divorced and have two sons. I work for the Red Cross in an administrative capacity, and have also been a Red Cross disaster services volunteer for 7 years. My educational background is in accounting, and I have worked at a local tax and bookkeeping service in one...

The sunshine part comes from high school, when I got sunburned and everyone said I was glowing "as bright as sunshine." The 1026 is my station number.

Loved the poem. Along with volunteering as an EMT, I also volunteer for the Red Cross as a disaster services responder and instructor, and I have rarely run into the problem that ffemt8978 did, but I do find that where I am teaching has a lot to do with the attitude people have towards...

Thanks for searching and posting. I knew that the oath existed, but looking for it was one of those things that I never got around to either.

Dinner = king size Snickers bar and a liter of Mountain Dew How true, how true.....and don't my kids just love me for it! ;)
