Hey guys, I work for an AMR affiliate and was recently asked (voluntold) to drop everything (including a cruise) to cover an unknown location in Northern California...Anyone have any info as to what is going on?

Thanks for the input guys! It's all very appreciated. Ironically, we had ALS activated recently and the Battalion Chief showed up for fun. I pulled him aside and had a discussion about the situation. As most of you shared, the FD is more than happy to extricate as well. He walked with me and...

LA County Fire and the staff will be meeting to plan ingress & egress routes throughout the park shortly and running different scenarios. We also plan on offering the nearby truck and quint units to train during off-seasons. We just wanted to see if anyone had ideas to simplify or add to the...

For "rapid" calls where we know we're going to be loading and going lights stay on, but I'll just throw the hazard on typically.

I appreciate this idea because I also brought up the same idea to my manager. But I also have RSI/RSII and experience with ropes. My manager pointed out that I'd be the only one that could rig it all. Being we work for an insured/bonded corporate company, the only way this would happen is if we...

We do have FD nearby, we are considering this scenario to create the optimal situation for us and them. Most of the time, we have all of our patients packaged up and ready to go. Raging Waters.

The side contains about 4 rotations and a steep drop. If we were to take the pt down, we'd need about 200ft of rope to keep us steady and have thousands of dollars in damages to the slide with a backboard shredding it up.

Hey guys, unsure if I am posting in the correct section, but I wanted to get a second opinion as my team and I are heading in for an inservice this weekend. So I work at a Water Park as the highest level of medical care, EMT-P and B's staff the team. We have plenty of syncopals, diabetic...

This false statement is recycled every year from gossiping EMTs and Medics in the area that's why it's fairly common knowledge - Torrance City Council has approved Care to operate in Gerber's place when the buyout is official. TFD has ZERO choice in who their 911-contract is, although they...

I am curious as to what happened that caused you to drop the patient.

Everyone is always tagging on Gerber Ambulance, but for some 911-experience & IFT experience, apply to Gerber & call Lani. They just got bought out by Falck...more people will be needed to staff our new rigs coming in.

if you take a look at the USAJobs.gov site, they list the minimum GS-levels accepted for the job. The GS-levels typically have the experience associated with the job in that specific field. Take a look at the Park Ranger job description and line them up! But really, it never hurts to apply of...

EMTV, 45-60lbs gains are not uncommon for anyone when it comes to dead lifting. There are plenty of little factors that will give you the edge when it comes to lower back strength. MonkeyArrow hit on a lot of form pointers, but you also need to understand that the shoes you wear (flat...

No one has really broken down your diet. When you expect results from your body, whether it's leaning out or mass gain, everyone has a number. It's 80% nutrition and 20% gym. Check out IIFYM.com, it's a macros counter, it balances your big 3, your carbs, healthy fats, and proteins. For a few...

^^ This might be a valid point. On another note - Gerber has some run-down rigs, some almost 6+ years (w/ CHP Extension) and 180,000+ miles on them. Looking at their profile, the companies they own have "newer" & "better" equipment, Gerber is running on diesel fumes and stale O2, would a...
