Our dept has three trucks with cafs on them and that has saved our butts many times. We dont have hydrants in half of our district and we have a very small volunteer dept. There are many times where we don't have the personelle to drive our tanker...
The best place for a young firefighter is the US Air Force, they provide full service firefighting and EMS at most locations. The Air Force, Army and Marines all train at the DOD academy. You will not get much firefighting experience at most locat...
I agree, if a SEAL team in the mountains of Afghanastan can whisper and talk to a commander in the Pentagon, we can figure out how to have a pump operator hear a call for water! It is not rocket science. But then again if we cant get the budget to...
The federal government didn't create the fire problem, it has traditionally been a local responsibility and its my belief that it should stay that way. Someone tell me why its my problem that a department in South Dakota needs a brush truck when I...
Our state allows EMTs to use a state defined spinal protocol checklist in which we are pemitted to rule out c spine and not do complete immobilization. I have not heard any complaints from this or lawsuits. Im sure if there were a lawsuit, the pro...

Adult/Child Pads and Peds Pads are clearly different. They don't make pedi pads for an adult/child AED.
