There is no point to respond to a Structure Fire or accident unless you are a first responder or are in the area and are able to provide assistance prior to FD arrival. Each agency can allow the app to show what it wants and both LAFD and LA County Fire has allowed the app to show all calls and...

It only notifies you on your phone if you set it up in the app like that. However, at any time you can click on the app and it will tell you current calls(structure fires, accidents, medicals) for the area you are in or the area you subscribed to. I don't know the exact reasoning for it, but it...

No you don't have to be, you can actually see most calls. It will only give you the exact addresses for structure fires and CPR. See the attached picture for what it looks like on my phone in LAFD jurisdiction

I do, in Los Angeles and although I haven't heard much regarding using it for CPR/Arrests, I think it's awesome. After having it for almost a year now, I got my first notification for CPR and by the time I got there 3 minutes later LAFD was already on scene. The good thing about the app is that...

Although we all probably know that the neck, head and back pain are because of the impact, this would qualify as a "hypertensive emergency" according to the America Heart...

1. Why are you writing in bold? We can all read English pretty good. 2. Unless you are working everyday, everyweek 12+hr shifts or are the billing manager billing patients who shouldn't be transported in the first place(ambulatory as non-ambulatory), then you won't be making 72k as an EMT. Ive...

Im not disagreeing with you at all. Their downside, and obviously its because they arent a full agency, is that they really dont assign units to calls they just announce a call and whoever responds, responds.

I just like pointing that out. I hate paying for 911/PD/FD services via taxes and getting a bill in the mail when I use it too. Almost seems like double billing.

I saw the video, it was a cluster**** but some comments were indicating someone told them a wrong location. On average calls they will do everything a BLS or ALS(if equipped) will do until either their ambulance or FD's ambulance comes to transport. They dispatch themselves and they get the...

Aegis and AmeriPride and SoCalAmbulance have terrible management. Most of the EMT's are nice and knowledgeable, but the dispatchers lie to the patients like it's an everyday thing(we'll be there in 10 minutes, we are right outside, etc.) and are routinely late to pickup patients from dialysis...

Hatzolah is a 100% volunteer EMS service that serves only certain cities in the US and Israel(maybe other countries too). They are allowed to have lights and sirens, their members are trained at the minimum EMT-Basic level(some are even paramedics and Doctors too with the same equipment any ALS...
