I agree this is one of the better threads .....it is always good to be reminded where we come from as a profession to where we are now with all the advancements in technology....there is only one way to go and that is up.......
Well here where I am from in VA the FD usually does the extracation......but some of us are extracation certified so we do get to help if we want to and another EMT is there to render care....the FD cheif is usually the one in charge so what he says goes....all 4 of our volly FD have crash trucks fully equiped and ready to go....we have 3 dept that are combined fire and rescue...two are volly one is paid.....I have seen the guys on the paid services....leave the ambo and gear up and to do extracation or fight a fire.....depends on the person...but for the most part we do work together when we need to ..we come together as a team........then when all is said and done, we go back to the "My dept is better than your dept" thing...too much politics and egos in this small town...... :roll:
Well #1......this is the world of EMS....people dont get sick or need help on a scheduled 9-5 basis. You need to realize this is his job and one that you are either gonna support 110% or walk away from.....you arent in EMS yourself are you?.... He is he new kid on the block there right?...This means like everywhere else no matter what job you are doing you have to prove yourself to the people there....and this allows you the benefits of the days off the pick of shifts and things like that....we all have to pay our dues on that one....it isnt an easy ride......just support him and be patient the rest will fall into place....most things do if you give them enough time to do it..and above all sacrifice is the biggest ......

I agree that is what i have said all along....as a volunteer I have the same education and pass the same test as a paid person does.....just because i CHOOSE to volunteer does not make me any less trained than a paid person does...nor does it make me an idiot .....and like I have said in the chat......i know what i can do as an EMT I ......and i dont have to prove it to anyone...but to say i am an idoit and dont know crap about EMS cause i VOLUNTEER ....is just plain wrong.....
we have it all here in this GREAT state of VA
we have First Respondoers, EMT B, EMT I, AND EMT P ......they are kicking around the ideal EMT Enhanced for the all EMT B's
to upgrade....yes i do read those updates I get in the mail......

I like what Rid said.......for an old guy he is kinda smart....Me I would have to think about this long and hard to and devise a plan and that i am not going to do right now cause is is like TOOOOOOOOOO early in the morning to do that much thinking
but a good question though one i will follow if nothing else just to get some ideals to try to change some of the ways we do things and maybe make it better ....
