Thanks to all for the interest....hang tight, as we are trying to develop some ideas that we have for some products. It just takes some time, which, between all the endeavors under our belts, is scarce. So, with that said, look for some things coming soon.

Does anybody have any ideas as to what we could do? Looking for the more "unique" concepts, as well as designs,etc. IF we are going to do something, I don't want it to be just something that says the name. It's gotta have a function, or send a message, something unique and innovative. Any ideas please feel free to discuss here, or email me @ EMTBravo@EMTBravo.com

The forum has been created in the General Fire/EMS issues section. Thanks for the suggestion and input!

Westchester EMSTrivia: This is how this will work: 1) Once the question has been posted, the person that posts it will be responsible for watching to see when the question gets answered correctly. 2) Once the question is answered correctly, they will need to post who got it correct first. 3) The person that had the correct answer will post the next question.(Staying on this thread) I'll start What year was Mount Kisco VAC founded?

Scenario submitted/developed by:x635 You're the Paramedic Lt. of a Paramedic truck company. You are responding to a structure fire, report of 1 subject entrapped. Upon arrival, you notice an older three story wood balloon frame Victorian-type structure with fire showing from the left side of the structure. As you exit the vehicle, you are approached by a hysterical female screaming that her elderly father is still inside, probably in his bedroom, on the right side of the structure up the stairs. She states everybody else (her, her daughter, and her son) got out through the front door and her husband is at work. As you and two firefighters approach the front door, you noticed it is locked. You force entry to the structure, and start your primary search. You notice fire on your left on the first floor, go up the stairs, and go towards your right, As you enter the last bedroom at the end of the hall, you see an elderly male sitting in a chair, looking relaxed. As you say, “Sir. Lets get you out of here” and put your hand on his arm to help guide him out, he sternly tells you to “get the heck off of me, I'm not going anywhere!!” and pushes you away. You try persuading him to comply with you and go, but he still refuses and is becoming increasingly hostile with you. The room is starting to fill quickly with smoke and you know the fire is close behind. Your truck operator has just positioned the bucket of your truck outside the window after hearing you’re “found” call and seeing you open the window. As a paramedic, you do a quick assessment and find him mentally competent and showing no signs of medical distress. You hear the Engine Lt. over the radio report the fire is in the walls “big time” and request additional lines stretched. What do you do?
