    LOL

    I loved the time I spent in EMS. Just wish my back could have held out as long as my desire to help others. Unfortunately, the 100 pound rule got to me. (For every 100 lbs, the patient lives another floor UP). :)

    Welcome to the firefighter nation. Stay Safe

    I told you I was a diva!! Actually, our agency tries to keep it double paramedic - but you know how that goes. I think we're about to change because we've got a shortage of medics in this state right now.

    I loved working with another medic. You got to rotate calls, yet had two equally trained providers if things got bad fast. In the single medic system, the medic rarely gets out of the back of the unit. It also limits the amount of patient care (and thus learning) that the EMT can provide.

    I guess my idea was the PRU. A full BLS crew, plus responding medic response unit. The PRU can cover a larger area, without committing ALS units to mundane BLS assignments.

    In a perfect world...

    Check out Roll Call Forum and put some info about your Fire House in... Like to hear what your station is like, what you have as well as for number for firefighters as well as number of calls. Pass it around to your Firefighter Friends too....
