I am just kinda taking in the situation, lets see to start:
At least one of the EMS workers must have lived there for Xamount of years and knows it snows.
If you can drive in it, I am fairly sure you can walk in it, unless they are driving monster truck boxes
How many unsafe things do...
Alright to give a little fun poke back to ya hehe (all friendly).
So, sitting at my station listening to the radio when me and a few guys hear: Medic:"XX Base hospital"
Hospital: "xxx go ahead"
Medic:"We have a 50/1/49 1/2"
Had an FF from our station go over, he served LEO for years and has been in public saftey and USCG before I was born. He also is a very smart and well organized. He planed out his food intake, water consumption, down the the bare minimum. They were traveling on buses, going to gang memeber run...
In a world where education is affordable and the aide is there I can see where a BA would be easier to obtain. I see this in the ems world as well EMT-I is gone in CA (yes there is one place that teaches it in all of CA) EMT is getting a tiny upgrade and medic is getting a huge overhaul. The...
The dennys in my city give discounts (lucky it is the good one..not the bad one lol). Also, allstate gives me a discount. I just have to show my fire ID and it is posted in the door (at dennys), so I didnt demand it. The local steak house gives a discount as well, and last summer we got a free...

I enjoy the learning and advancments going on in the field. like the post about the new...
I dont know if I could be overly mad at the guy. I mean that took so much pure stupidity or ETOH that I would probably laugh and make for a great story. Only because no one was seriously injured or killed.
I see your point in the searching for a body. 100yds is a long way for a body to fly, and I dont know the area but if there are walls or K-rail and he went behind it, either flew or jumped thats his bad day. The FHP did his search that was in his SoP and went back to his job. Life happens is it...
umm, well down side is a beer wont fix this one..so I guess C-spine, and backboard, and yes check ABCs after I check my saftey with that dog running around. Call in LEO and what not because I suspect drugs are involved somewhere in this. The classic 02 rapid transport, asses while going to the...
I bought the $130 ATAC "storm" boots, I love them with the pathogen barrier. Awesome boots will buy them till they stop making em..though next time I may spend the money and buy the $160 pair.
