Hey Tim, thanks for the group. I'll start it off. Alright I work for AMR in Southeastern Mass. but I have an extensive fire backround Grad MFA class #94 and worked for a small town for 14yrs(paid on call). I was just recently appointed Day Shift Commander for AMR and I was hoping to pick your brains to further assist Fire crews with rehab and EMS ops. My question, How can we be better for the firefighters? I know most departments have implimented "RIT" teams and we need to try to merge EMS and Fire ops to better manage a Firefighter down. I'm tierd of hearing "damn priviate" If that is how you feel than fine but I don't want anything to hamper the care of a fallen brother. We need to push aside our diffrences and work to ensure the maximum safety for all. Thanks again and be safe...

EMS/Rescue facts to live by:
1. Sick People don't bitch
2. Air goes in and out, blood goes round and round, any variation of this is a bad thing
3. All bleeding stops. . . . .eventually
4. If the child is quiet, be scared.
5. The more equipment you see on a FF or EMT's gear, the newer they are.

MOre to come!!!

Hey everyone,
I just created this group becuase I couldn't really find much in the way of localised disscussion groups, (at least not for MA).

I hope I will be able to meet and introduce all the firefighters and EMS personnel from all over MA (At least those on this site) so that we have at least one more thing in common that we may all discuss!

Hope to see you all soon!!!
