I'm keeping my eyes out for a local Intermediate class as well. I've been toying with the idea for far too long & just need to go for it. Get yourself signed up!

I almost dropped my beer... The brutal truth in some cases is the only way to set someone on the correct path.

The point is the shock factor for teen drivers so they know what could happen. Its the same with the mock drunk MVAs that local high schools do every year. For some it hits home and they change their reckless driving behaviors. For most, they think its a joke and laugh it off. That is, until...

I've always found anything on my belt gets caught on something & then I have to waste time looking for it. If it can't go in my pockets, I don't carry it on my person. Or, I just look around for the nearest probie or wacker FF. :P

Make sure it has really good mirrors. I don't know the model off the top of my head, but one of my ambulance has the worst mirrors in the world. We actually had them replaced so many people complained about them. I will get back to you with more info.

That much is very true. And I said it was the one we don't use. It's not empty, just filled with stuff we don't use much, like oxygen, and splints and blankets. ;) Actually, it was in the back of the cabinet behind the child seat. We didn't look there at first because we didn't take any...

Now that sounds sexy...

It all depends on how your department is set up. My department (fire ems) requires that in the least the chief be at least FF2 and an EMT-B, with a certain years of experience in both, including in the department, etc. We do that so they know both sides of a response and the obligations that...

My default is Linkin Park, but 99% of the time my phone is on vibrate. My text alert is some obnoxious generic tone that came with the phone.

It all depends on where you work. We have companies offering shifts ranging from 8 hours to 24 hours, 36 and 48 hour shifts are typically frowned upon, although I know a few people that work for multiple companies and do it all the time. I love my 12 hour overnight shifts, but I have always...

It seems like someone should be reviewing the information people edit in Wikipedia & not post something that may be interpreted as defamation. But that obviously doesn't happen.

And why you should consider keeping a spare set of clothes in your car.

Hellooo! Glad things are sorted out.

Hey, now, I love my wacker plate TYMV. Haha. But I also live in an area where it still means something to belong to your local volly FD. In fact, a lot of the local commercial techs also belong to their local FDs. Which forever ensures that the argument about paid vs volly being better/worse.

I've been trying to read the same book for over a year. Every time I pick it up I have to remember what I was reading. I only have a few chapters left.

I lost 50 lbs on South Beach. All it took was a $5 book and my making a conscious change in what I buy & put in the house. It is a great program for a lot of people because its about re-learning what good foods are & re-introducing them into your diet. I've been on a modified version of the...

I still find it strange that I can run the bloodly, :censored::censored::censored::censored:ty, gross calls without even thinking about it and then be grossed out when I accidently eat food with mold on it. Guess its just one of those things. Great job on the call. I'm sure that both your...

I wouldn't change it for anything, but I'm also moving forward from here.

Left a collar bag & bls jump bag on scene of a multi car mva in the pouring rain... checked the fire department's trucks, the cars at the junk yard (luckily the drivers were still hanging around) and finally.. the back of the ambulance. Someone had shoved the bags in the one cabinet we don't use.
