It's not hot enough for the really big ones to come out yet. We're not too far from you guys. Strike hard, strike first.

http://www.arizonensis.org/sonoran/fieldguide/arthropoda/eremobates.html These mofos are everywhere out here.

Scorpions, vinegaroons, snakes, all pretty common in our station, our newest probie jumped about 6ft in the air, when a vinegaroon scooted across the app bay.

Story of Bruce Lee's mentor i think.

Seeing people not know who Kevin Arnold is makes me sad, and feel very very old. Makes me think of a time when I was razzing a co worker about their Zach Morris phone and one of of new EMTs looked at me and said Who's Zach Morris? Does he work here?

@CCCSD yours is a different world. I just worked the hood for a long time.

I've had a gun, and multiple knives pulled on me. Had a "barricaded" patient run through the area we were "staged" with a loaded AR.

Ooh, we hit 105, my 1st summer there we had seven straight days at 120 or hotter. Curious to see if Reach 21 or MA6 will fly in that heat, We didnt need them then, thank god

It's over 100 again at work, and probably wont go below that until October.

Had a great partner who became an EMT at over 40, then a medic and now is a Sup. His kid is a medic too at that same service.

I had to take a break from energy drinks after pounding 4 in like 2hours and then falling asleep in the front of the rig.

Nope, Boom and Champy(I think)

Dont wait on Symons. We had tons of EMT's come over from there when I was at AMR. Not a one had anything good to say,

Riverside is the worst of the three going from people I know there. I did 10yrs in Hemet(maybe make sure you spell it right if you test there), two of my current FF's were long time AMR Desert(Palm Springs) employees. Either one of those two would be preferable. Even Redlands or Rancho.

Which AMR in RivCo? There are 3 separate divisions.

Outside of the new scientist those are all right wing news sites. So kinda the pot calling the kettle black with the criticism of CNN,MSNBC and the like. Bias swings both ways.

Ive noticed a steep decrease in the amount of EMTs and medics, even in the private EMS world who even want go the fire route.

If you can find a dept that transports, that'd be perfect, you'll be the most popular guy in the station.

Fire isnt all bad man. It gets a bad rap and Ive been as guilty as the next guy for bagging on them, but now that I'm part of it, outside of a few 3rd services, cant beat the pay and benefits. Sometimes I can't believe I get paid to drive an engine and be a medic
