Wallet, Phone Keys and Pager For my FD, usually keep a pair of gloves in each vehicle and FD issued jacket, And one basic jump kit i wish i would have never bought. havent worn a watch in god knows how long.
Definitley go with the 8 inch, as stated above they have tremendous support, as well as walking through mud and puddles their much better, if you go with side zip, be sure to water proof them good before you start wearing them
We use EMSCharts and i love it!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its so easy, we have panasonic toughbooks on the trucks and PC's in the station so you can do your Report while your returning or a little bit later.
when i started we already Had EMSCharts but to back to the old way i would be lost im so used to it...
Never happened to me yet, but similar things. I honestly believe some people just plot to make our jobs that much more of an aggravation. I dont see it happening to me though because we can take one extra person such as BF,GF, mom dad freind etc in the front passengers seat.

In my area We have BLS trucks and when ALS is needed we have medic intercepts. It seems to work well, Well over 75% of the time but i think the way my dispatch protocol is written, it leaves a bit of an issue, The protocol basically just has the broad term for the call such as respiratory...
i have tried one and i think They look cool, But i still Prefer my dual head over anything, because it serves 2 purposes pedi and adult, In a more controlled hospital setting, such as being somewhere other than an ER than maybe but on the truck i always have a dual head, And BTW there may be...
