Two LAFD stations (both bordering our area, so we got to see them at the hospital often enough) were/are testing power cots to (potentially) replace their Ferno Pro-Flexx's. One has a Stryker power cot and power load (same system we're supposed to get) and the other the Ferno INX. The City guys all pretty much say they dislike both in comparison and would rather keep the Pro-Flexx....but it was the INX they all universally seemed to hate because it was so complex (paraphrasing their words...basically you can just push in/pull out...phrasing lol....the Pro-Flexx and be good to go, put it in chair mode and you can easily get it just about anywhere you need it....meanwhile watching try to figure out the right combo of controls to unload the INX at the hospital was...humerus lol, def took longer even once they seemed to get the hang of it)

It took about a week to get used to. Now I can't use regular cots. There is no lifting. It really does go down a few stairs and curbs. It's heavy as a sin (or something), however.

I'm surprised at Hall with all it's Cult following and glory doesn't provide helmets.

I get a helmet. Lol, if it helps it's probably only good against bird strikes. Helmets are overrated.

I liked my blue brain bucket that was adorned with my last name on the back; and large magnets, one on each side, that said EMT. Hahahahaha.

Cuz it protects you from the flies, moths, and other "potential hazards" one is faced with in the "cold zone"?:confused:

We weren't limited to the cold zone in my other company. We'd be right in the mix of things (situationally dependent of course).

This was one of those mornings when you wake up two hours before you have to and lay there awake until 10 minutes before the alarm goes off when you're finally in a nice deep sleep.
 
Not ever day you pull into a Starbucks and in the parking lot see a Sheriffs Deputy load a guy in handcuffs into the backseat of his cruiser lol

FWIW, I have seen that happen at a Tim Horton's. Not a SBUX, though.

Maybe it's the clientele - it's more like Dunkin's!
