we really dont do anything out of the ordenary. our rescue truck (first due on ems calls) has more than enought supplies as it is also serves first due to the airport for MCI's. 1/4 of that truck is pertty much a mobile supply closet
ok i got it go for your ride along and ask them you will have plenty of time to find out what the good spots off the beatn path are
We always carry extra supplies when hunting season opens up because we get people from the seattle area over here and most of them dont prepare for the changes in the weather and most dont really make sure of their targets and if the brush moves t...
I was just down there in march and truthfully did not like bourbon st at all. The smells were horrible not to mention te price of drinks. But restraunt wise theres a town about 50 miles north of NO called Hammond the restraunt Don's seafood and st...
When you are in the French Quarter, be sure to stay where there are a lot people. Getting off the beaten path on Bourbon St. can get you in some very bad situations. There are a couple of cigar shops, but I don't believe the museum is still there....
Ralph, more than likely, if they can they will bend over backwards for a fellow brother. My guess is it won't be a problem visiting the museum.
I work EMS. Our company policy "suggests" CISM for certain incidents. They are informal meetings with peers and management team members. I imagine this would be a good idea. The best way I see to help those who exibit any issues with a run or to e...
WAIT!?!?! There`s NO Santa Claus?
Jonathan,
What is "code 2" in your state?
Kudo`s to Knott`s Berry farm for supporting retired and active vets.
I was never able to serve, damn ears, by I can sure support them! I`ve been known to pick up the tab at Hooter`s or a gas station when I see a young service man or woman in unif...
Well said chief. Lead by example. Chief Sharp`s words not only work in this industry, but in all of business. As a manager, that is what you become as chief, you will need to not only understand the crew`s needs but be able to direct them. You wil...
Jay, thanks. I found that already. I`ll sure try to visit it, but the "by appointment" may smack me down.....lol.....I`m sure the old timers on whatever company I end up riding with will give me a good overview of the department`s history. At leas...
Jr you got it wrong too, hehe. Bourbon Street. Were getting drunk just trying to spell booze words, haha. RC, I haven't been to NO but will some day. Have fun and let us know how it goes. TCSS

Fireyladd Chief Sharp said… - Ralph, we had the discussion last night at drill about being aware of the season/weather and coming out in the middle of the night to find the steps or deck of our house frosted over or icy. Or worse yet the windshield froze over and not being able to see to drive to the station. This kinda sneeks up on us cause it is so mild here most of the time. Clear days that are warm usually turn into clear nights and its ccccold. Or at least for us.
