  3. Oh for the love of god this should be apart of the LPN/RN curriculum. I can't even think. How many times ive gone for the "abnormal labs or X-rays" or whatever reason it may be and we go to the skilled nursing (which needs a name change) priority 1 were met by the facility Dr and he states "Dr John smoe is awhere your coming". Uhm Dr why we bypassing 3 hospitals to go 30 mins away? This isn't a 911 emergency call 1-800-AMR and schedule a transfer. Dont waste the 911 car for these events.
  4. Any pictures of the cab and jump seat area?
  5. Heres a photo from Hartford PD i took earlie this year in Hartford,CT....The PD seized a hummer from drug lords and turned the vehicle into a PR vehicle.
  6. I agree with you 100% but remember its a drama series......the fact that the main character is a firefighter is just icying on the cake
  7. Any trauma centers nort of I-84? Besides danbury medical

  9. Did a project in medic school on this and used this article..... http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/04/26/naloxone-drug-overdose-antidote_n_1456531.html
  10. You guys have 2 tankers in the city correct? i saw the pictures of the 2 being used on the rail car fire the other day, send em tanker task force 83
  11. Did the eng forget its ground ladders???? Im just kidding but where i volly we dont have a ladder nor do our neighbors, even if we call for one which is 15+ mins from request to scene time it will never make the front of the building either due to supply lines or driveways are just manuverable for a prius, but im all for a truck company on any house fire, moving from southern westchester to NW CT is a huge wake up call, i asked wheres the ladder? "oh we dont need one we only have a few 3 story houses mostly 2 and 2.5" ARE YOU KIDDING ME was my answer, ever hear of safe working platform and long runs on roofs? "we have a 36' ground ladder" Oh boy....
  12. With that said i agree from a budget perspective but couldnt you say this is the same thing as why career FD are having trouble adding or atleast keeping their current staffing levels? "Well the neighbors to the north or south or wherever have plenty of guys or they also have career guys at the station, i'll only take them less than 10 mins to get to the scene". Mutal aid seem to be used as a crutch when money is an issue deal. Can you really guarantee that ladder will get out the door and to the scene in time, nevermind physically to the front of the building with lines being laid ect
  13. do they already have an additional tankers or do they call m/a......
