Is that the one out between 29 Palms and Yucca Valley?

On the subject of etco2, may as well move that to an EMT-B level, since EMT-B can place nonvisualized airways, such as king's or combitubes...

Can someone explain to me the process of a hospital trespassing someone off the property? I've seen it happen before, but never understood how it really works, and what happens to the individual after the fact...so they deem them physically ok, trespass them off...but if that person shows up a...

My EDC is a Zero Tolerance knife, spent about $160 or so on it...I carry one on me all the time, and have for years. My biggest thing about spending that kind of money on a knife was that I was looking for a much harder steel knife, the S30V steel holds up a lot better for what I tend to do, as...

I completely understand that a FF/EMT or FF/Paramedic acts more along these lines...our local fire department typically uses their squads (one FF/Medic and one FF/EMT) for SAR purposes during fires. My comment was more along the lines of someone who is solely an EMT/Medic, working for a third...

While I personally don't often use +p ammo, I do know Glocks are factory rated for it, and my take on most people using it is that the vast majority of us aren't shooting enough ammo to seriously wear down our guns fast enough due to the +p ammo. I reload all my handgun ammo, to include my...

Can't say anything about d50, as we don't use it in our service. As far as pushing d10, in my limited experience with it, I've only seen it pushed by squeezing the bag by hand through the line set. I wasn't on the run, so I don't know what the situation was, but I do know it was a cold day...

Where's your sense of adventure? It's like a shooting gallery-shoot between the highly reflective lines!

Our fire department is EMS trained...EMT/medics. It's not my place to fight with them on scene, and I'm not going to, as it does nothing for pt care. By your same line of reasoning, EMS crews should get turnout gear and scba's so we can go into buildings and rescue pts from structure fires...

Remember, it's not always the EMS crews call, and it's not a matter of us not want to get training in extrication. Try telling our fire department that we should be in the vehicles (in appropriate PPE) during extrications, and they'll either laugh you out or tell you to gtfo their scene...

Hey, as long as you know where your neck sock thingies is, you're good, right?:p

At least we both know what we were talking about, lol. Kinda like Kleenex. Not saying it's right, but that's what I've always called them; our volley department back in the day called them that, and when we used them in Iraq for facial protection from IED flashover, we used that term...It's...

It's a nomex hood

we got issued extrication gear, which I find to be completely ridiculous, since as an EMS system completely separate from our fire, we will never once be involved in the actual extrication here in our city. That being said, they work great in the winters here to help stay warm, when responding...

Highlighted a few things in bold... 2nd time taking the test...Did you not realize you were a bit weak on your knowledge after the first time and study again? You say you were near passing...nearly passing is another way to state definitely failing...And you listed a lot of categories you...

We were sworn in at the ceremony? Lol. I missed it

Here's my coyote gun. Started out as a stock Bushmaster OCR, mildly modified now. Optics are the Pulsar Apex XD 50A thermal scope. One note, from scanning through the thread, I see a lot of discussion about what shells people are using for their home defense shotguns. One thing I havent...

We don't carry hot packs, just the chemical cold packs. Our truck is the only one in our service that happens to have a warming drawer, so the quickest way to warm up the pts extremities was to use a warm bag of fluid. Winter time, we also started keeping a bag of d10 in there, as one of the...

Good to know...I didnt realize the shoei had that, and I'd guess the others have something similar...I always used icon full faced, and tbh, I dont think I ever looked into that. I'll have to pay attention to that.
