So many people waiting til last minute. Just wrapping up my shift at work this morning and watching the news. They interviewed the "rider's of the storm" smh. The lack of brain cells in these people and the responses were absolutely ridiculous.
We are the primary water & dive rescue resource for two counties where I work for FD and are on standby for deployment if needed. I love helping people in need, but as I get older I have a real difficult time putting my life in jeopardy for total idiots who have been told to evacuate... I digress, we shall see what happens. Stay safe NysEms!
HH-60 pavehawk helicopter- Fueled and ready for taskingBeing that I will now be on the bad side of the storm (to the right) this means high winds and tornadoes.....my area has had tornadoes before....I am ready!
Kind of a sweet patch one of the Pj's gave me.. won't ever wear it, but will be cool to have.
No jolly green giant?
I saw it but a quick google search (very quick) didn’t show any results and I doubt my company would give me the time off sadly.Any EMTs or Paramedics watching this thread...be sure to see the post I just made in the EMPLOYMENT section ASAP.
What?anddddd we have floridas first casualty.... from looking at a helicopter....
Kids and their phones, really getting aggravating.

I’m fairly sure AMR is going to regret not sending out more resources in the initial stage. Instead they are going to be reactive instead of proactive.So excessively understaffed from what I can gather so far.

Agreed. On Thursday we drove a convoy of FEMA rigs from Houston back to Phoenix where they are staged... and then we dispersed home to our local ops...I’m fairly sure AMR is going to regret not sending out more resources in the initial stage.

After 10 days on the Harvey deployment and halfway to Florida we got the order to demobilize.
We were very much hoping to go right on to Florida.
Now I'm on standby again for a redeployment.
