I know with most classes your Instructor will provide a schedule and a syllabus when the class starts.
One is black. The other is tan. That’s the difference. They also have yellow and a grayish tan color. The difference in those is that one is yellow and the other is grayish tan. Most companies use different colors so you can tell the companies in ...

- About Me:
- I've worked in Public Safety since I was 19. Started at a Police Dept. and played on the Blue team for about 5 years. Then I joined the Navy. Once the Navy was finished with me I didnt adjust well to being just a regular schmuk so I took my friend's advice and joined a FD. I love it. It come naturally to me and I plan on turning it into a career. I love the High Angle and Rescue side of things...not going to be one to go for the hose unless I'm told to. Being in the FD takes care of my adrenaline need since my "Normal" job is a bit dull. Anything else you want to know just ask me, I'm pretty easy going.

If I only responded to calls on days I was really in it to help people... I wouldnt be responding much lol. Sure I like helping others but this job is all adrenaline for me! Anybody that tells you too much different is lying. TCSS

We all have a need for that adrenaline rush (at least I think so). I can't respond anymore and that's a hard adjustment. My son (also a paramedic/firefighter) and his wife (paramedic/firefighter) presented me with a grandson over the week-end. Now I really feel old. Enjoy it while you can!

Agreed - working in an area with many teaching hospitals we often get well meaning medical folks eager to help or to try their new skills on the street. We inform them if they want to take charge of the scene they must accompany the patient...
Yup
