what is your trigger for runs

Red or white?? lol! ^_^
 
I Like It!!^_^
 
when im on duty its when my partener goes to sleep
off duty everytime im in the shower
 
Mine is either using the restroom or thinking that i need to use the restroom. I always have the thought of "hmm...i should really go right now while it is quiet" and then the tones go off on the way to the restroom.
 
I just figured dispatch had direct sensors to the bed/bathroom/movie channel which triggered our line...
 
My trigger is by saying that its slow and tones come out from nowhere.
 
how about recieving a call from another services to cover there area because there truck is out of service or out on a call. they usually let us know and then the calls just start rolling in.

last tuesday we covered for them because there truck broke down for about 2 hours we did 4 calls in that time. when we usually only do 1-2 a day 2 runs for that station is a busy day lol.
 
Every time I start for the restroom. It gets a little ridiculous after a while. It's like the door shuts behind me as I walk in and *tone* "....OH COME ON!"
 
i tend to be the white cloud around here...the guys of shift before me had a bad wreck on 10-79 on scene and 2 critical transports...since then when i'm on shift nothin but BLS hospital-to-hospital transfers...but give it an hour after i leave work the guys get a code or wreck or something of the sort...been kindof ridiculous around here when i'm here...crazy slow...:ph34r:
 
Anywhere from 45 min before shift change all the way up to 5 min before my relief shows up; especially if I have any plans that I have got to attend to later on that day.

I won't do anything all shift long, but you let that clock get within an hour of shift change and... "Delta 18, 10-8." Christ Almighty!!!

I seem to be a jinx "of sorts" excitment seems to flea from me. I worked for two weeks before I even saw a drop of blood.

Patience, I'm sure the people in your area are trying to get hurt the best they can...so give it time.:P
 
EVERY 24 hour shift I work, and I not kid here, like clock work at 0200 every night I will get a call to the far reaches of the county. I have come to accept it as fact, and it never fails.

That gave me a gooooood chuckle. "Hey Bill, the toilet sensor at station 18 just went off" "Alright Randy, page em out for that 2 hour interfacility we have holding"
 
Food, Dinner, Can I have a Dr. Pepper? - I am known for sitting down to eat and getting a call. Usually it's right after I order something to drink at a restaurant (explanation for the Dr. Pepper). I could have one call in a 12 hour shift and 85% of the time it comes some time when I'm either waiting for food, going for food, or eating food.
