Rock crawling over high voltage lines intertwined in the trees... No thanks.

Eh the tires will absorb the electricity or something like that. You'll be fine

They must not care that much...

I'm sitting at my station without anyone to work with because they didn't approve overtime for anyone to stay as my partner. (I'm extra personnel regularly)

They don't put extra people as a third which is a bit silly too considering they pay me for 8 hours I may as well help someone out.

Who must not care? We have been sending out units left and right.

If someone (FDNY, SNF, Hospitals, other fire and ambulances) need something they get ahold of us. And within 5 minutes we have units heading out code 3 to where ever.

Where would out-of-state EMTs go to get temporary reciprocity to help out in State-of-emergency areas?

(Depending on your State this advice may or may not work)

You should look to join a disaster response team and if your state does not sponsor one, look to join a National Disaster Medical System team (NDMS, usually just called a DMAT team) in your region.

A number of Gulf Coast states and Southeast Coast states have their own teams too.

Come down to the Floyd-Bennette Base. I could use someone to talk to haha. It gets boring checking in units.
