About Me:: My medic school class is the biggest group of dorks ever! (but i love em anyway!)

"Omg, wow girl you really are short! your height is a contraindication for a combitube!!!"

thanks guys, and fyi no I am NOT a midget... midget solely by height has to be 4'10" and I am 4'11" thank you much! and no I dont need a booster seat to drive the ambo or cruiser either..... booster seat is 4'9" lol :)

I absolutely LOVE emergency services.... there honestly hasnt ever been a time when i've freaked out on a scene, I just get in the zone and everything slows down.

I LOVE firehouse humor, even as a girl i think its absolutely hilarious, I will throw just as much crap right back at you guys as you throw at me and have a good time doing it!
Day Job:: Critical Care Transport Paramedic
Relationship Status:: Married
Facebook or Other Online Profile:: http://myspace.com/polimedic041586
Why I Joined Fire/EMS: I feel I owe something back to the community. I was a 26 weeker at birth with next to no chance to live and supposedly no chance for anything resembling quality of life. Now I am 21 years old, and have no limitations due to my early entrance into the world and stint on life support.

I eventually hope to be a joint flight medic/ police officer with the Fairfax County Police Department Aviation Division once I get my butt in shape!

Until I get my butt in shape I hope to be a dispatcher :)
Why I Love Fire/EMS: knowing I have made a difference in peoples lives
Top Issues Facing Responders:: having an adequate budget for proper equipment, training, and staffing -also-
having people that are actually both motivated and competent enough to do the work

did you get the West Virgina FF LODD announcement?

Jan 25, 2008
Coach

I have the story posted at the top of my blog, or you can hit www.firefighterclosecalls.com. FF having chest pains on scene and collapsed. Crews were unable to revive him. He was from the Huttsonville - Mill Creek VFD, not sure where that is.

We almost had the same thing in our area last night. Crews were working a trailer fire. Elderly FF was working the pump, smoking a cigarette, and collapsed. Crews got him on an AED and applied countershocks, I believe before ALS arrived. Flown to a trauma center and holding his own, so far
