Ditto for us. It's unfortunate we're socked in by smog being on the valley floor 10 months (maybe 11) out of the year, but when our mountain areas get snow, and we have a good winter it truly is a gorgeous view.
Today is a prime example, perfect weather for a run.

So on NREMT you can recert online via the refresher route, but if you choose the exam you must mail it in. HOW DUMB.

You can also email it, but mail a copy as backup. I emailed it and was good the next day.
They need to have the skills verification/med director signature sheet.

When I first looked at this pic, I thought it was a rear view of a jacked topless blue-hair leaning on the dashboard.
(Imagine the hail ball is hair and everything else will fall into place)

So I'm officially "1&1" certified now. Which is my company's lingo for "I sat through a 2-hour class so now I chauffeur a Paramedic around and do ALS level Interfacility Transfers in addition to our normal BLS 911 response" (Dual Paramedic staffing is required for an ALS unit to respond to 911 as the lead Paramedic unit....so if a smaller FD calls us for backup services a 1&1 staffed rig can't respond).
I picked up an open "1&1 EMT" spot on an ALS rig on the schedule for tomorrow....but a medic hasn't picked up the open shift yet either....so here's hoping I don't end being "half crew" and paired with a normal BLS unit...the only other half crew I see on the schedule is a shift I kinda don't wanna pick up OT on lol (the city that station covers literally requires us to respond to every. single. call. Code 2 [no lights, no sirens] even if it's a cardiac arrest or a traffic collision blocking us in the normal traffic flow....bleh)

Hey, so I know you're dead and all because your heart stopped beating, but I am stuck in this 5 o'clock rush hour traffic and we might be a while, so if you could just...not, that'd be great. K thanks. -Jim and partner

ROFL!! Wouldn't be the first time I've busted the response time requirement sitting behind a red light and staring at Fire on scene on the other side of the stupid intersection lol or worse, had to pull over for the fire engine because they still go Code 3 to all calls...speaking of ETA's..we have a contractual requirement of 7:59 with County Fire (and we go Code with them), but only 6:59 in this particular city, (oh and it's 8:59 for our new Compton contract) so even with two stations in the city with 3 units each and 7 "day cars" on 12 hour shifts (low of 1, high of 6) roaming.....street corner SSM posting is impossible to avoid and I think that's a big part of why people don't like working there, vs my normal area, yeah even when we do a lot of move ups, far more often than not we end up moving to another station (though street corner posts are far from uncommon though, maybe a 70-30 split depending on the day).
