Does anyone have experience with FEMA EMS Grant writing? What were some of the things said? I am looking to help my squad grow with equipment.

If you advertise you are an EMT, you do not have to act. Even if you do have EMT plates. Why, is it safe for you to control the scene? Plus, you are under the insurance of your company or ambulance squad. If you act on your own, you are at will to your pocket. I would suggest that you at least...

CLS/EMT/Medic Ok, that is the same as First Responder, EMT-B and EMT-P or Paramedics. The difference isnt much. Just a few classes. I like the CLS course, cause it saves me from having to do IV's or a lot of work. I love Paramedics cause they still have to do all the work. So, if you ask me, I...
