Where I'm from

Hi , I'm Craig and I live in Wofford Hts. in the Kern River Valley 50 miles east of Bakersfield , CA in the foothills of the Sierras. I worked 8 years in San Diego as an EMT . A total of 7 with Schaefer amb. and 1 with Southwest amb. When they were there . I was also an out of district call firefighter for Crest Fire Protection District in El Cajon for 5 years , and a seasonal FF for CDF ( now CALFIRE ) in Warner Springs for part of a season . I worked in Kern Valley for 3 months before coming down with an illness that cost me my job due to too many missed shifts at the end of my probation period . I took a 15 year hiadus from EMS and just became nationally registered in june . I've been a CERT member / trainer for almost 3 years now . I'm also an ARC CPR / first aid instructor and DAT team member and a ham radio operator . ( KG6YNM ) By the way , Restech , it's good to see somebody from PA on the site . I grew up in Lock Haven ( clinton county ) and first got interested in EMS while serving on a Civil Air Patrol ground SAR team in high school .

[GeezerEMT]

I am Mike from Fredericksburg , VA . I'm just getting into EMT training. Over the past summer I assisted some EMT's standing by for a local event (gofer) type stuff. The had several heat exhaustion cases, two serious, and a cracked fibula. They were volunteers and I enjoyed helping them out and could see how they help the community. I already have a job (23 years) but I wanted to help out my communityby volunteering.

I am from Riverside California. Southern cali, not in the best of place but very high volume for EMS calls. We have a huge Paramedic and Fire Medic shortage, like some 20 stations were supposed to open up but couldent due to inadequate NREMT training. haha come on down everybody and party
