Hey @TheRealScott, welcome to EMTLIFE! I agree with @Summit. Be careful with the services you provide. Stick with EMR/First Aid. I wouldn't provide any EMT level services unless there are protocols, approved by an MD/DO, and you're allowed and directed to follow them. Let me also take a...

Congratulations! Local position? Maybe new budget year?

It's a hoodie and pajama pants kind of morning. Brrr.

Hey @Cassie Elliott, welcome to EMTLIFE! This (NREMT) section has lots of great advice so spend some time going through each of the threads. Including this NREMT Practice Quiz Resource Thread. Finally, Google loves our site and crawls and saves info all day long. It's regularly suggested that...

Actually, no need to PM us. You can do it through your control panel.

@Dundee85 Let me add to @StCEMT sentence by saying, "... and not being hands on." There have been scenes (non-cardiac) where I was the fourth or fifth person to arrive. Not much for me to do except help maintain the scene, ensure safety, start planning for removing the pt from the scene, etc...

The videos from the Las Vegas shooting are intense. Unconfirmed reports of multiple deaths.

I used to drink a lot of soda, but have cut back to one a day, if any. For me it's usually: 5am - cup of coffee 7:30am - stop at Wawa and fill small Tervis tumbler with coffee - there's been times that at 2pm there's still some in the cup 9am - grab my large Tervis tumbler and fill it with...

In 27 hours it went from a Category 1 to a Category 5. :eek:

I concur. We still have 18,000 people without power (down from 130K) in just our county. We still have about four to six weeks of possible activity. :(

I wear the TacLites and they don't get too cold in the winter. Then again, I live in Southwest Florida. :) All kidding aside, I do really like these pants. There's a little bit of flex in the waist, I can bend and twist with no problems, and pockets everywhere! As for a belt, I went with the...

I'm confused. @EMTDSHIP, is this about wanting to know about which color lights you're allowed to use in Maryland or about you responding "off duty" in your POV?

Closed our last shelter Wednesday evening and packed up our stuff. ESF8 - First In, Last Out! I was told to take Thursday and Friday off, but spent about four hours on the phone and computer, and plan on stopping through the EOC this morning to check on things.

Slept at home for the first time since the middle of last week. Felt so good. Actually got seven hours of sleep. Back at the EOC today to help (hopefully) close our last shelter, a special needs shelter. There's still about 60,000 people in our county without power. All the linemen are doing...

There is at least one team from Houston here removing trees around power lines, on houses, etc. Two weeks ago Harvey was doing damage in their hometown, now they're here helping us out. Happy Birthday!

As of 6am Friday... will change but shouldn't be by much....

Thanks to all those for thinking of me. Yesterday ended up being a 13.5 day for me, making sure everything was in place ready to go. Today starts the "oh crap, we need X, Y, and Z... and tons of it... now!"
