- Why I Joined Fire/EMS
- It took me six years to really find the words to explain why I am a firefighter. In one call I found the emotions more then the words to explain it. I responded to someone in need of help after an MVI, I helped give the best medical care possible and got the patient to the hospital with their condition improving. I came home with the feeling of pride in knowing that I did it all because I enjoy helping people in this way. All of these moments and feelings from this one call summarized why I am a firefighter.
- Why I Love Fire/EMS
- The excitement of going on calls and helping people.
- Top Issues Facing Responders:
- Politics, reliability issues, and in BC separate dispatches for different emergency agencies; there is always miscommunication or information missing when information is passed from one agency to another.

I was at an EMS conference this weekend that promoted multi-agency training during different types of emergencis but focused more on mass-casualty incidents and the challenges of limited resources in rural areas. This was a great first step in training and communicating between multi-agencies and will hopefully continue and grow.
What do other fire departments do for multi-agency training especially in rural areas?

Shambhala Music Festival is about 10 minutes outside of the Village of Salmo but response can be up to a half an hour depending on traffic. The route is paved highway up to the turn off to the music festival then it is a dirt road for about 5 km (about 3 miles), about half of the road is only single…

Hi Bryan,
I will trade my FD patch for your Kootney FD patch.
ohn
Received the patches this past week. Thanks so much! Did you get mine yet?
Randy
Did you want to send me your email address so I can send you a picture of the patches I mentioned in my previous email?
My email address is dmcdouga@sympatico.ca
Thanks!
Randy
Send me your email address and I'll send a photo of the two patches I mentioned in my previous comment.
I collect all three - police, fire and ambulance. They don't have to be new...as long as they are in decent shape.
Randy
Did you want to trade one of our departments patches... Mississippi Mills for the wyndell lake... Or maybe an Ottawa patch? Or I can send you a list for you to look at... Let me know. I'll send you an email of them
I would be interested in trading with you for the Wyndell lake view crest. Let me know if its still available and I can send you a list of my traders
