Empress EMS EMT Elvin Delgado has fallen ill to a rare form of cancer,
from which recovery will be long and difficult.
He is a 15 year veteran of Empress EMS.
He has always approached everyday with a smile to the start of his day and to every patient he meets. Now we need to help him keep that smile, for himself, for his family by showing him the support he has from all of his friends, his family in Emergency Services.

I'm glad to see the positive discussion this thread has sparked.
As for myself, I'm 36 years old. I joined a VAC Youth Group at 14 years old.
Learned about CPR and First-Aid. Started riding as an Attendant at 16. Came up through
the ranks. I took the EMT Course and Driver Training Class at 18.
I wanna take a guess and say back then EMT was about 100 hours or so.
The Driver Training Class was about 3 hours.
"Driver Training" was a Video and going out for a ride with a Driver Trainer or VAC Officer. I drove back from the Hospital a few times and I was cleared to drive CODE 3.
CODE 3!!!!
Yaaaa Hooooo!
I can tell you first hand that 18 is way too young to be driving ANY type of Emergency Vehicle.
Why do I say this? Having the knowledge and life experience I do now I look back and think how
glad I am that I didn't hurt or kill someone on the road or on my crew.
At the age of 18 you are focused on how fast you can go and how much you can play with
Yelp, Wail, Air Horns, etc. It's a BIG RUSH!
The thought of my Speed, Weight of Vehicle, or SAFETY of the Crew
and Patient prob never crossed my mind. Was this because I was a bad guy? No
I was INEXPERIENCED!
It was all about the LIGHTS AND SIREN!
Today, I still drive that Ambulance but never like my younger days.
SAFETY IS PRIORITY!

helicopper liked a post in a topic by RWC130 in Emergency Response (Lights and Siren) for EMS Calls
This is an article on the use of EMD and establishing
a "Priority" and "Non-Priority" Response.
http://www.911dispatch.com/info/emd/index.html
A lot of useful information!
If you limit "Priority" Response to Calls you also limit liability on yourself as
an Emergency Vehicle Operator and the EMS/Fire Agency you Work/Vollie for.
Did I mention limit liability on yourself?
WE ARE ACCOUNTABLE!
