AMR Palm Springs

Fair enough. When I interned in Rivco, I found the Sun City guys a tad salty. Granted, their call volume had to been two to three times what it was I was seeing during internship at the station we were housed at.

I've heard some pretty not so good things about Mo Val crews. Like Desertmedic said we get along pretty well with everyone except this one crew.
 
Cool deal, that always makes for a better shift.

Does AMR still have 24 hour cars in-house with any of the fire stations in Riverside?

Not to my knowledge. I believe there were too many issues having crews in-house with fire. We only have a couple 24hr shifts left and they are in the south end.
 
I couldn't imagine being in house with Riverside Fire. Theres a couple crews out here that I think wouldn't be to bad, but still probably not the best of ideas.
 
I did my internship in Murrieta. They were a great bunch of guys. Very inviting, and never had I seen such a laid back, yet, productive approach to training their probationary firefighters; no hazing whatsoever.

I had a blast while there, and most, if not all of their FFPM's were all squared away as well.

There has been major issues with murrieta vs AMR for years. Murrieta wants (or at least wanted) AMR to be kicked out of riverside county and were raising hell about it with the city and county.

That's too bad. I don't know what politics are, or even were like back then, but in house, and amongst the crews at that time, everyone jived real well together. They never stepped on my toes, and they allowed me many opportunities to grab contacts, and do my work ups.

Ha.. Well they were talking about possibly going in-house with a couple Cal Fire crews up here near Roubidoux area but who knows
 
Glen Avon housed an AMR 24 when I did my internship, so did MoVal.

My, how things have changed, lol.

Cal Fire ain't as bad. I've heard other when it comes to Riverside Fire.
 
How's Corona Fire treating you guys these days?

Yeah.. Theres a few Riverside guys that are a pain but the majority get along with us fine.

I personally like Corona. I only had 1-2 problems with those guy that i recall. They are very professional. I try to avoid the Corona Crawl as much as possible though.
 
Interesting stuff guys. Maybe we should rename this thread the "AMR Riverside" thread, or perhaps even the "AMR I.E."

I would be curious to know if there are any AMR San Berdoo folks on here as well. I worked as a paramedic in Redlands for just under a year before relocating.

Interesting to see how things have changed, or haven't?...

Well I can tell you that SBCoFD took over for SBFD. Other than that, I don't really know.

I saw that. Ironically enough that is where I got my feet wet as a wide-eyed, green paramedic.

San Bernardino City was a lot of stress, but also a lot of fun. We averaged 10-15 calls on a 24 hour car, the busiest being 22 transports in 24 hours. Definitely not healthy, nor smart for the longevity of one's career.

In retrospect I learned a lot of what to, and what not to, do as a brand new paramedic. I got fairly confident with trauma, particularly shootings and stabbings. "The Ol Knife and Gun Club", or "Stab and Fight Friday Nights" as one of my supes called it is ever so prevalent in, and around that city.

Trucks are staffed BLS. You'll have a FFPM on the truck, but no toys.

I figure I'd give a update on this info. Can't speak for certain on the west end but here in the Coachella Valley Truck 33 and Truck 86 are now staffed ALS.

I worked in San Bernardino County with AMR for a few years before transferring to Santa Barbara. Going from shootings and stabbings in the extreme ghetto to running on people living in multi-million dollar mansions by the beach has been quite interesting.

I also did my internship with AMR- Riverside, in Moreno Valley. All the fire guys were cool and I don't remember having any issues with them.

Riverside County has some awesome AMR divisions. It's amazing how well they are ran compared to the nightmare that is Redlands, Rancho, and Victorville.
