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...

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!"

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!!!

thats ok ive been working for almost 3 months with my service. i havent seen a drop of blood not even a broken bone. had a couple car wrecks atv wrecks but no good trauma's.

it seems when ever i come on duty the crew before me is the one that has the code or the trauma or that "cool" call. so yea i got you beat lol.

have even seen a code yet.

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.

Cherish those moments. lol. My trigger depends on dispatcher and who my partner is.
