    Hey John, Thanks for your reply on my post regarding RIT or ON Deck. It really made an impression on me. We don't do enough training on Mayday or RIT and we should. Thanks again, Paul

    I hope that all is well in Cheese Head-ville. I hope that the pharmacies were well stocked with anti-depressants after another loss to my Vikes this year. Thanks again for the Thumb.

    John, How big is Green Bay? How many engines and trucks do you have? Staffing?

  • Gregory Borg

    Thanks, that is interesting. I will admit I have been around for a while but when I was hired we had 17 engines and 6 trucks, a rescue and an ambulance, 87 on duty. We now have 13 engines, 3 trucks and a rescue with 56 on duty. That is while going from 6,000 calls a year (for the whole department) in 1978 to 32,000 last year. More with less, we are severely short handed.
