Both our local high schools hold mock accidents. I think they work but we all know that sometimes there is just no prevention for some incidents.

Well for me it was a few different things. I always watched Rescue 911 and was also a boy scout in fact I am an Eagle Scout. I got my lifeguard certification and did that for many years while I was in H.S. and college. I started to dispatch at our local ambulance service and loved it...

EMS Pants I guess my question is where is the best and cheapest place to get EMS pants. I have seen the basic cargo pants but when I look for EMS pants them seem to jump up in place. Got any companies or suggestions? Thanks!

Everyone, My squad colors are green and white. We have green t-shirts, sweat shirts, hoodies, polo shirts, long sleeved t-shirts etc. with our logo on the pocket in white. Most wear boots and blue or black cargo or EMS pants.

Tri-State Area Everyone, I live in an area of WV that is only minutes from the Ohio and PA line so we have responded to those states and take transports through those states all the time. The emergency calls though are initiated by another agency that asks for assistance. Mutual aid...
