What's going on here. Explain it to me like I'm five. Better yet, send me a private message.

EMT. There's a full 7-8 Week NR EMT class part of the Academy (part of why it's a 32 week Academy)

Yeah third service, City and County of Honolulu EMS Department.

(Though I live down the street from a hospital and my apartment overlooks the freeway, and I see plenty of AMR units running around, code 3 even, so idk if they do backup? Or private emergencies out a SNFs and urgent cares? Or something else, but they are out here...)

Yeah, I want to say they're in Maui (County?) and are considered "Maui County EMS".

 

[Jim37F]

I know they're on the Big Island too, but I don't think they're the primary EMS out there (could be wrong though). One of the islands, their FD is a transporting dept, but not HAD, no ambulances here, and County EMS is the primary

A three-day CPR class sounds like torture.

sippy cups of the Kool-Aide already went around today when one of the instructors was saying CPR is our "bread and butter" and that "we do it better than even the EMS guys"......

 

[RocketMedic]

Well yeah...I've got other things to be doing lol. Those mai tais don't make themselves!

Vent, I'm not really seeing any weird shenanigans threads. Looks pretty normal.

No they do not lol.

Yet I'm the pensionless penny-pinching single-role who isn't "stuck" on a gorgeous island as a career firefighter.

Eh, movin' on. I guarantee you missed nothing.

So I saw BakerTaylor28's EMSA truck in another thread and I had to giggle. I dunno how they assign them now, but when I was there, it was very much the luck of the draw, and I spent more than a few shifts in the old pink rig, #373. That truck was like some weird death magnet. Stabbed in the heart with a poker-thingie? 373. Massive GI bleed? 373. Terrible burns? 373. Open pediatric humoral fracture? 373.

That's the new Frazer replacing the 2010 Braun E450 I'm in at the moment. Hopefully we put it in-service soon.
