Admit it, in reality fire fighting and EMS aren't so different
---------------------
EMS: "So why did you wait until 3 in the morning to call us for this chest pain?"

Fire: "So you knew it was smoldering mid afternoon YESTERDAY... but you waited until this morning when I was ing my wife to call us?? Excuse me *cough**cough*idiot*cough*"
----------------------
EMS: Nothing is more annoying than dispatch giving you the wrong address

Fire: Nothing is more annoying than the driver next to you in the engine saying " I couldve sworn there was a road going south here!!"
---------------------
EMS: "Attention medic 1 respond to a car crash with known injuries"... few minutes later... "medic 1 signal nine, deputy on scene is advising no injuries"

Fire: "Attention (3 named stations), respond to a structral fire" ...a few minutes later... "County, (first station on scene), it is a controled burn, just a wiene roast"

Sounds perfect! How soon can you make it over here. Or would it be better to go over there. I can still get on base w/my millitary dep. ID.

How did the H1N1 s/s start? I think I may be coming down with it. Rapid onset, headache, runny nose, slight fever, clogged head, sore throat, a little bit of nausea earlier, fun stuff. Plus, I have no appitite and haven't eaten hardly anything in like 36 hours. If I get any worse, I'll probably go in, but I hate just running to the doctor for everything! It is the old EMS and healthcare people make the worst patients thing..........

Get better, both of you! Being sick always sucks.

During controlled burn season, we take bets on what percentage of fire calls are going to be controlled burns. People who bet high usually win. Not sure if the prize is anything but bragging rights, though.

Ha! Yesterday we got paged out to a fire in the trees across the road from {address}. RP reports large amounts of smoke. Flames visable. I get there first by my self and end up calling everyone off. It was several logging slash piles that have been going for like 5 days now. And the biggest was only 10x15! The flames were barly 8-10 inches tall. I was thinking, "what, did you just get out of you chair for the first time in a week and see smoke?"

I'm watching "Friends". Reminds me of when I was a kid.
