Random Hang Out Topic

lucky, Arkansas requires our national to recieve our state card. Just, remember on the national the questions can be tricky sometimes.

Trickier and dumber than the states?

Yeah, because all answers can be right and they want the "most" right one.

hahahahahahhahaha thats hilarious thats worse then pumping out basements

@ Hannahan... It is a bunch of cows sitting in the sun precooking lol

and Cressler I hear ya, but sandbagging sucks more.....

We got a new E-350 today. Well I say we, the Mena crews got a new one with a Q and airhorns along with our normal whelen siren. I think that was a complete waste of money, first off I hate Q's and airhorns are a complete wast of time on an ambulance. I barely run code anywhere we go, just do to the fact that people are stupid and won't move and if you blast airhorns at them they can freak out and cause a wreck etc. Yes, I am againtist running hot unless it is a true emergency. I will not endanger myself, my medic, patient, or the general population just to play with the sirens. I got into it with a medic the other day over that, no sense in running lights/sirens at 3 in the morning when were less than a mile from the call.

Yeah, I'm not a dick with the air horn and eq2b. I only use the eq2b on the highway when there's traffic, so I rarely even use that. And air horns I only use at busy intersections when people won't stop or move when there is room to move.

Yeah, I like our Whelen. I'll use that airhorn but that's about it. I just really don't like running hot. Never know what the morons will do. Lol. And I should have clarified I don't like them on the E series. I want us to get either the F series or the Chevy ambulances.

Are regular siren is a Federal Signal PA4000.

And I generally use the sirens as little as possible. Mostly just at intersections. If the roads are empty or have little traffic, I won't use them much, if somebody doesnt want to move, then they get some siren, maybe a little electric horn.

Our back-up truck/basic truck has a PA4000 in it. I want to run out of that so we can use it. I'm trying to get our owner to put dual sirens on our trucks, all of them have two speakers we just need the control head.

Wow, that's all very interesting. Was the EVOC class hard for you guys?

I haven't done EVOC yet, but my service we do an annual training every year and refresh skills and we redo EVOC every year. I actually think it's a good Idea to do it every year.

Our ambulances have PA-300s I think w/ airhorns. They use them, but not in a rude way. Most of the calls are along Route 30 or Route 41, and 30 is also the route to the hospital. Traffic is usually pretty busy, so it makes sense.

BTW, I visited the station today, wow! The trucks look nice from up close haha...they're bigger than I thought, especially the ambulances!

haha, I feel ya. I never knew that a packed line could still be charged and since the engineer, he should know which knob does what to which line .

uh yeah it's about the most dangerous thing ever because the pressure can break the top cover and the hose could go flying around and idk he gets exicted and pulls the wrong handle everytime

Wow, needs some remedial training then? Dont wanna break that beauty.

HEY DOUG, WHERE DO YOU LIVE? I'M IN NEWARK! haha, i'm joking dude. Man, it feels weird but cool to be back in a city more active than Richmond.

NEWARK ALMOST BORDERS THE TOWN I WORK IN, theres one small town in the way and its like a 30 minute train ride from where I actually live lol.

Newark's a fun city lol.

Haha yeah, Hannahan's goin to New York, right?

lol he's also our driver he doesn't go in buildings anymore he's to big lol

Wow, you can't a good firefighter when you're fat lol!

he's a hell of a driver and engineer (other then pulling the wrong house all the time) if you saw some places he could put this truck haha

Haha, can he parrallel park it well?

never seen him have to but i imagine he can he drives 18 wheelers for a living

Oh, well then he knows how to drive.

Wow. so a Papa Johns just opened in my town, and I love papa johns and the nearest one is, a few town over.

So I'm walking down to papa johns to go get a pizza, and I see a bunch of police cars going down the road.

I get to papa john's only to find out that some A-hole had to rob them and gun point, so now I cant get pizza in a downtown full of coffee shops and overpriced restaurants. Guess I'm having ice cream for lunch.

Well I guess he didnt make much $ from it if it just opened.

My favorite rig at our station. Sadly it will be leaving in a few months

Ewwww blue lights

lol All our appartus have blue/red combo. I like it the blue can be seen from further and the red gets your attenon when the truck is right on your a$$. I wish it had better lights though the strobes are really boring :/

Well, if they get the job done then there's really no need to replace them

this is true lol, we don't usally run code except for the first out runs 3 then the second either 2 or 3 after that its 1 for the most part. So we don't really use them any way as this is third out for a brush fire.

Everyone keep Missouri Highway patrol in your prayers. They have lost two of their own. One was killed on vacation when he was rock climbing and feel about 2500 feet. And, another is still missing while searching in flood waters.

Wow, that horrible. Was the rock climbing accident at Yosemite?

Wow..Thats sad. Terrible for the MOHP, another dieing on duty,

Well, they have found the body of the troopers canine. Still nothing about him.

The k9 died too?! That's horrific!

Yeah, if it hadn't they would have found the trooper by now. That dog wouldn't have left him.

Watchin hangover.

Good movie,

hangover 2 is better

I haven't seen it yet

Haven't seen the second one. First one was pretty funny. I'm tired as hell, thinking of playing sims, watching south park.

I should play Sims, that's a fun game.

I'm a firefighter explorer now, had my first meeting yesterday. Learned about MCIs, how to administer oxygen, and stuff about triage. The chief got us a pizza cuz there were only 5 of us there.

MCI's are fun. Every MVA. We go on is an MCI, got to love being the only ambulance in the county. Haha

1 ambulance for the county? Jeez we have two for our city and other services 10 mins out.

wtf? im in a rural area and i could draw at least 14 ambualnces with a less than 10 min response time

1? For the COUNTY? We have more than 10. And at least 4 different services. Then again, our county is almost as large as Rhode Island. They've got around 200 sq miles on us.
