    College BLS Uniform

    We mainly wear polos, or duty t-shirts. Must be tucked in, and CLEAN!!! If everyone is wearing the same, and look clean, you shouldn't have a problem. The reason I stress the clean issue, is I've seen some private service EMTs in dirty, or stained uniforms, very unprofessional, and most...

    What light do you carry on your belt?

    I like it alot. I used to carry a Stinger by Streamlight back in my LEO days, and the thing broke on me four times. I got the SureFire and never had a problem since, still using the original light bulb. The one thing I would change is, finding a rechargable system for it. The battery life is...

    Ambulance Warning Lights

    All of our rigs have halogen light bars. The brush trucks have LED's in the front, and rear on the fenders. The rescue vehicle had strobes on the front, sides, and rear with a smaller Code 3 halogen light bar (that I repaired). I like the halogen's, and the strobes over the LEDs, because we...

    Anyone using these bags? Thoughts and opinions?

    What light do you carry on your belt?

    I carry my Sure Fire G2 in an Uncle Mikes nylon pouch, and I have a ring keeper so I can carry our D-cell Maglights, for when were assisting in traffic control. My pen light stays in my bag or leg pocket.
