It looks as tho that could pass for a decent QRS.
By the way, you can go here for the information for the QRS application in PA.

I have the form downloaded... Keep it in my file of 600+ ambulance pictures I "Borrowed" from the internet.
Some time I'll do an inventory of my supplies, and then decide. But I don't really think it's necessary for me to have one w/ three ambulances w/ in 5 miles of each other.
Surrounding areas of my photo have been whited out to hide my tax & business licenses hanging on the wall.
h34r:
My gear, Minus Kit 6 (In my SUV), and 8 (Handle broke off and the box smashed when I got it off the shelf-it wasn't supposed to be a medical kit-I kept my ventriloquist dummy in it before-Ralph is in a air-tite plastic bag somewhere in storage-He's worth about as much as half of the equipment.)

1 - I don't need a dummy - already have PARESCUEEMT
2 - if PARESCUEEMT and myself have almost everything for PA QRS cert. you have to have it all - worried youi don't have the 25 4x4s????
and the reason to get the cert is reat simple - "BECAUSE I CAN"

Reasons to do an inventory...
1. In case there is a fire... I do an inventory on the house every five years, why not my supplies?
2. In case it is stolen
3. In case I use it all
4. In case I use it for my dept, at an incident with them (they will replace what I use)
I believe the PA Ambulance code has always had Gauze Square listed as 2x2's and 3x3's. They just began to list them as 4x4's.
Have you ever seen Canada's requirements? They list everything as a "supply of etc-up to the owner as to the amount of each product"
I bet there are ambulances in Canada right now w/ 1 gauze square, 1 cravat, 1 bandage roll-6" that can be sized to 4", 3" or 2". Just because they had the choice.
Personally, 25 isn't enough... You should carry at least 200... But if you have the room, why not 2000?
I should buy another bag just for gauze squares!

Lets try to keep the personal zings out of this thread.
Today, after attempting to locate my wallet for an hour, I decided I needed to call in reinforcements. I went to my car, opened my whacker jump kit, and pulled out the mini mag light. I turned that baby on, looked under my bed, and found my wallet in less than a minute.
Sometimes it pays to be a whacker. <_<

I call people who show up to other peoples calls Squirrels.
OMGosh, they tick me off. You have an ambulance service that never responds, you have never even met their personnel. One day, we have a call for a shooting. Get to the LZ and there are half a dozen people in TOG standing there looking in the ambulance windows. I asked "Who the He** are you?"; "We're from Station XX" Who? What? You can get six EMT's to come to our call, but can't crew out your own ambulance for two straight years? Go... Away.
Call them either Squirrels, or Trolls.
