Yeah Ray's a good guy, for the most part. Terry on the other hand is one of those "unique" people.lol If you've ever had him teach your rookie school you'd definitely know what I mean.

I'm a full time paramedic for Sumner County EMS. All paid departments in the county have first responder agreements with us and respond to MVCs and med calls.

We have 9 stations and run 9 full time 911 trucks, 2 part time 911 trucks, and 6-8 convo units (depending on the day). We actually are underfunded and understaffed (who isn't) and will be asking for more more to hire 12 people and staff 2 additional units.
