Currently I am only a seasonal USFS Wild land FF so not much chance of being called out of state, but I was wondering about the what if. As a USFS employee EMT/Wildland FF it is conceivable that I could be called to duty in a state outside of Ca. Now I wonder what my scope is from state to state, I have been told by supervisors that we follow state protocols.
Now this does not sound right to me as some states EMT curriculum is more advanced than others. Now if I were asked to drop an IV line I would most likely drop my jaw instead as I have never learned this procedure even though EMT's in other states may have this training.
So does anyone know the real deal here?
