Where in Colorado are you?

There really aren’t any wildland fire EMT jobs. Most crews have a couple EMTs on them, but the primary job is fire. Most Fireline EMTs and medics work for cooperating agencies or contractors. There’s a few that are regular agency employees and some ADs (casual-hire government jobs, you have to...

I don’t remember the exact figures, but it was actual item costs.

We’ve been looking into doing more saline locks, rather than hanging bags on all our IVs. According to our admin, as of 5 years ago it was dramatically more expensive to use a lock and flush rather than a bag. As of last year, it’s now marginally cheaper to use a lock and flush, so your info may...

Jeeze. We never use them (or any other HEMS agency) so most of what I know is from friends that work/have worked there.

Man... we haven’t had Valium for years now!

We’ve been getting extra 1:1000 Epi and 10 mL saline vials to mix 1:10 since May or June, I think.

I'm glad you had a good experience there. It's pretty drastically different from that of other people I know.

Denver’s a pretty cool place to work. Good pay and benefits. All 911 and ALS. We’ve been hiring a lot to keep up with population/call growth. Downside is housing is pretty expensive.

That seems to be pretty standard.
