Nah, some of the more frontier EMS agencies here in TX have some old, remodeled, FEMA trailers that they use as crew quarters when there's no station to house them at.

Ive heard a couple people made $13,000 for a two week deployment. I only know two that have been on disaster deployment and 2 that went to California during a strike.
Everytime we go on standby they page out for interested "part timers". We havent been activated in my 3 years there

We send out full and/or part timers. I was full time when I went out. The pay in national average (so a lot more than my usual pay). I believe the last time we sent anyone out from my area was Sandy

Well got a email and talked to the hiring Captain the other day. No uniform voucher and I have to buy about a weeks work of clothes which I'm not really looking foreword to buy oh well (3 pairs of pants 2 uniforms shirts and 5 t shirts should suffice for now). PPE ie. turnouts structure and wild land will be issued. Also got the "projected" readiness academy which is looking like May 5th and they will make arrangements for me to stay at a fire station for said academy since I live about 6 1/2 hours away. So all and all I will obviously have to move up and spend some money but it will all be worth it.

Although everyone says I dodged a bullet there, and word is my department is planning internal promotion from EMT to Firefighter at the end of the year so there's that...

I just had the absolute sweetest old lady I have ever met. I just wanted to take her home with me.
88 years old. Called at 3am for dizziness. We get there and she is dressed in her Sunday best. Complaining of chest pressure.
I ask why she was so dressed up, and she says...
"Sweetie at my age you never know what is gonna happen during the night, and I want to look good".
I just wanted to hug her lol
