Gee, what a great concept... a guy like you comes to a rural department like mine...works the one or two call's a day and a student like me goes to a department like yours for experience/ride time....
You get a paid vacation, I get education everyone wins!
There's something in the air, telling people to do things that get us called out, even my service which is extremely slow compared to Newark is getting called out more than average for acts of violence.
North Brookfield and Warren (little towns in central MA) are going bankrupt because our call volume is so low. I guess if you want a vacation I would suggest coming here for a while.
