You immediately leave the scene. First off, dispatch should make you stage and wait until the PD get there. YOU NEVER ENTER AN UNSAFE SCENE. The PD need to clear it first, no matter how injured the patient is. If they die, they die. Your safety and the safety of your crew is the most important...

Oh my goodness. my fellow crew members got into some retarded heated debate over this stupid little question... you pull up onto a collision scene on a very big hill. one of the vehicles is letting off some sort of unknown gas into the air (let it be whatever you want. smoke, whatever. doesnt...

that's pretty cool. here in VA, nobody under 18 can drive a truck period. no exceptions. you can take EVOC at age 18 and drive a truck in non-emergencies only. once you turn 21, you can take EVOC 3 and drive in emergencies.

Geez!!! does the patient have room to breathe!?!? yall must either have a huge crew to fill multiple trucks up like that or your district is out of luck if more than one call comes in at once!

Here, is depends on the circulstance. Our station protocol says: The minimum staffing on a BLS truck is a driver (not required to be EMT certified) and an EMT in the back who is over the age of 18. In the case that there is an EMT driver and an EMT in the back who is under the age of 18...

hmmm.... That's a good question. So far as I know, here, it's not going to be required. BUT, I did hear talk at the crew hall that if it comes into our valley, the local schools will close for a week and that the EMS providers will be high priority to receive the vaccination because of the...

Answers: 1. Finding someone experienced in the EMS field in Seattle should be a breeze. Either call a local rescue squad or just walk in when someone is there. Tell them what you are looking for and you'll probably have several people willing to help. 2. I would be completely surprised if...

Wow. I love it and I'm going to pass it along. Thanks. Texting and driving are so stupid when put together. Completely illegal here in VA and is a primary offense.

Hello Well, first off, welcome! Second, it normally takes 7 to 10 days for you to get your results for your EMT cert. Talk to your instructor and they may be able to help you speed up the process.
