Man that ambulance stuff is soul draining. And like you said they don’t pay that well for the amount of crap you have to deal with.

Chicago use to be like that where you had BLS Ambos but they got rid of them after too many lawsuits. Guys were just not giving a shyt because if you are a FF who wants to spend an entire day doing 20 runs for straight bullshyt like picking up drunks or assists for fat fukks falling off the toilet? And if was something serious like a heart attack wtf are you going to do as a basic EMT outside CPR/AED use? It was a complete mess. Chiefs were playing favorites with guys where some would be assigned to an ambo 10 times while others would only be on twice a year. Thank God they phased the shyt out and it’s ALS only.

Detroit got no rules :russ:

Them boys knock down fires with rusted ass rigs and 1 inch hose lines :huhldup: Probably the best firemen in any big city because they do work with practically nothing. And you know Detroit full of abandoned homes/buildings. Theres a very good documentary film on YouTube about DFP called burn that you can check out

We go on so much foolishness. Why are we responding 5 deep on a ladder truck for things like you said, drunks..falls..minor fender bender accidents…baby with a fever. 911 abuse is off the charts, people call for literally anything.

The worst misconception that people have is “I’ll get a room at the ER quicker if the ambulance takes me” :mjlol:

Nope your ass going right to triage, take a seat :camby:

Is there a ideal range for height & weight? My cuzzo can't decide if he wants to be Sailor or become a city Fireman. He's 17 and just a shade under 5'8.

He's built solid tho, played Safety last season.

Ambulance rides must be cheap in your city...in NY most sick people call an Uber because an Ambulance ride is 1k
