Any stories to tell on yourself or your cohorts involving snow and ice? Does your service have any interesting measures to operate, or to shut down, in snow and ice conditions?
frozen snirt and ice.
So.......it's snowing. What's your point?I notice no Alaskans are responding.
Must be snowed in.
I put the chains on the ambulance and drive? If it gets bad enough we will get a plow leading our way, doesn't really change our operations except creating an exemption to our county contract specified response times.
It's just snow...maybe I'm jaded from growing up in an area that gets 350-400 inches of snow a year on average though.
One tip I have been told is to never raise the gurney to full height with a patient onboard and pushing it around in the parking lot or on the sidewalk unless you want to dump your patient on their head.
