My agency is getting an "Ambus" provided by the state. While I'm not a fan of such vehicles due to what I view of a waste of money (especially since there are a handful of these buses in this area alone, and I have yet to hear of one be used) I'm still volunteering for a position on the unit for if/when it gets activated for Katrina style events. Should be interesting.

Is it primarily for transport or for treatment? Those are pretty cool, I have to say. Wouldn't wanna drive it though! :p

Very nice. We just use citifare busses to transport greens, a "Busulance" would be way cooler though.

Took my final written protocol exam today. Pediatrics and Initial MCI Management and Triage.

Provided I didn't botch the test and have to retake it I have 3 days of work and 2 scenarios between me and clearing my FTO time! Then starts the year probationary period...

A local city firefighter will be the one driving, while we will have a supervisor, 2 Paramedics and 2 EMTs staffing it.

According to the release, it's primarily for treatment such as at the Superdome back in Katrina.

Sounds cool! Hopefully you don't need to use it!

Sounds like the one our region has. Neat piece of equipment but I think they are still figuring out how to utilize it. So many ways it can be used depending on the operation.

It's your own fault for being so wordy :) if you only fired off 3rd grade level responses like me you would get a lot more of them in.

I feel like I have a sneaking suspicion about which thread you are talking about considering it is nowhere to be found.

I think if a thread like that makes it as long as it did with the mods not locking it it should be allowed to still be viewable. Lock it if you want but don't delete it. :rolleyes:

I don't care who you are, the entertainment value was worth it's weight in gold.

I removed it rather than spending the effort to clean it up, and issuing the associated infractions/bans that would have been warranted.

How have I not watched breaking bad before now. My next 2 days off will be spent catching up.
