Just thought I should show off my squad in our new building, because thats what the forum said, lol anyways here are our rigs and we are going to have 2 brand new ones with complete LED lighting packages by Feb. of next year. Because the 2 we have now are living very limited lives, we run about 2200 calls a year with those 2 rigs, and this year we are already at 950 calls.

Wait, you wrote this post on Jan 20th. You're telling me that in 20 days, you've responded to 950 calls? Just amazed at such a spike!

yea, sorry about the number there, I was talking about this year, I was talking with my crew in the EMS room at our main hospital and they had said we have *** number of calls this year already, and I may have misheard them but I was a pretty high number as some nights my pager goes off 4-5 times just 0000-0600..but yea this year we will easily clear 2000 calls and some people are saying if we keep going at this rate we may hit 3000...most of our calls come in the summer time as we are a large tourist area...so we will see I guess.
