Sirens in lightbars! Oh boy...responsible for hearing loss in my left ear!

When the EMT student you are precepting was in elementary school when you started in EMS. This happened to me a couple of weeks ago.

I have been on the job a while too...Some of our members were not born yet when I started, and cannot understand about riding on the tailboard or not wearing gloves.

I've ridden tailboard, and seen it done.

Now you must wear a ladder belt.

Now you only do it for special occasions (Funerals, Parades, Christmas Caroling)

Plus, newer trucks don't have "rideable" rear steps, anyway.

Only when you have 1980 M-model macks, and 1962 Hahn's,,,,,,

No, I think its the older you are, the more you forget.
