Well they really didnt interfere but it bothered the crap out of me. Cardiac arrest inside a resturant. I was on the first arrival piece(rescue-engine), and we walk in and start CPR and prep for the AED. These two guys are sitting at the table right next to us, watching and still enjoying...

Reading all these humor stories has reminded me of this one. It happened a few years ago when i was a JR FF but I remember it like yestorday. Got toned out of high school around 10 AM for Forcable entry for EMS.(Yes before i get this question, my high school released us for emergancy...

Arrived on scene at a local nursing home for chest pains. The LPN buzzes the door open for us with a very confused look on her face. EMT: Good morning, we are with ***** EMS, which room are we going to? LPN: uh....you were requested to come here? EMT:.......yeah, for the 78 y/o F with...

:rolleyes: ...and we wonder why we never have the full support of the community.

It would be hard to start that kind of thing in the volunteer service without losing volunteers. My volunteer FD has a policy on being fit enough to "pack up" but other than that...nothing.

Is this a rural department? I could see a good use for that vehicle in that case. Like others have said using it to get the pt out to road. So many times we had to place the PT in the bed of the FDs brush truck. Also use for in the winter at a multiple PT accident. Put a PT in the tahoe while...

Yes, we have many females(Military police unit) many of which are gunners. Many dont understand that this day in age MPs are nothing more than grunts. We complete combat patrols(mounted and dismounted) and run missions with the iraqi police on a daily basis. Ive been in the military police...

The original poster stated they had mutial aid dispatched after three tone outs. Being from a rural 100% volunteer service I understand it usually takes about three dispatches to realize if you will have crew or not. This is because volunteers can live up to ten miles out from the station...

Im currently deployed in support of operation Iraqi Freedom. As for the geneva conventions, my platoon medic carries an M4 and a M9. Shes usually safe and sound in the back of an MRAP. Whenever she does dismount we usually have atleast two shooters with her for protection. They took all of...

I drive a Chevy Colorado! Its a smaller truck but it does great in the snow and gets better MPG than most trucks. I have the crew cab which is bigger than I thought but it is still uncomfortable for taller people in the back seat. Although my wife has been driving since I deployed and she fell...

I apologize for the double post.

You never know what to expect until you get there. Also keep in mind that the dispatcher only knows what he/she is told via phone. Ealier this year a volunteer EMT was shot after responding to a call for chest pains. http://watertowndailytimes.com/article/20090201/NEWS03/302019939/-1/NEWS

Hello all! I'm Nineteen and currently deployed in support of operation Iraqi Freedom as a army grunt. Ive been a volunteer firefighter for five years(started as a junior at age fourteen). I also spent two years running on a volunteer ambulance service as a "attendant" with a First responder...

I used to run with a very rural BLS service that ran into that same kind of thing alot. Being that we were so small we had trouble finding volunteers and most of them who did step up to the plate worked during the day. Usually, if we couldn't make crew the members who were there would respond...
