My very first call was the most memorable for me. Dispatched for a female who's water had broke, contractions 3 minutes apart for her 6th child. The two medics on the shift delivered the baby in the living room. It was also a breech birth, with the right leg by the head after the left leg was...

My service just bought a box of 10 for trial. $99 a piece, and they are a one time use item. Sounds crazy but we average 4 or 5 codes a year, so we don't need too many.

I actually do mow the grass for all those on my small street who wish, and shovel their driveways and sidewalks. Out of 10 houses on my street, I mow and shovel 7 of them not including my own. I also trim bushes for a few of the people. All of whom are the elderly. Also, for my Eagle Scout...

Amen. This is the same as my county. I am brand new to our service, I'm starting basic school in September, the reason I joined was not because in June we are going to paid-per-call, but to help my community. Our vollie EMS service was absolutely wonderful when they came twice for my dad in the...

This may be true, but you still need to make sure you are staffed 24/7.

We require one 12-hour shift a week and two 12-hour weekend shifts a month. However, if this isn't possible our director works with the person to figure something out. All certifieds must get the state (or national) mandated training hours a year, and if possible be at all squad meetings. If we...

With my agency we all get pagers. If we live outside of the city limits the department provides you with radios as well.

Just called my girlfriend into the room and told her to watch this video. She isn't talking to me now, well after calling me a son of a b****!
