Chief1C Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 Rant On. Directing this at "Scanners", not the OP. The one thing that I cannot stand, being a deeply rural provider.. Is "The Scanner". One o'clock this morning, we had a structure fire. Amidst the fire, came a life threatening medical emergency, a couple miles away. We decided to allow our 1st due truck leave, and have the 2nd due truck respond to the fire scene. I waddle down the road at a fast pace, on ice, in bunker gear, to get the ambulance. (Cross trained/low staffed) Pull out, lights on.. get the whistle going.. b/c the road, which is one way, is fricken packed with cars. Everyone and their brother heard there was a fire, and despite the population of the whole township, which is HUGE, only being about 600... About two dozen, which don't care to show up to help their neighbors, showed up to block the fire company in. Literally, stuck, block them in. Had people not gotten off their ass to move the last car, which was stuck, I'd have pushed it into the lake. B/c as the Common Law states, fire apparatus and ambulance cannot strike vehicles, but we can push them. So anyhoo, all scanners do in rural households, full of people w/ nothing to do, is create rubberneckers. In fact, I call scanners, Freelancer Factories. But alas, I have one, and actually registered on that site shortly after you built it. Rant Off.
paramedicmike Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 I just find it interesting that someone who's been a member for close to five years has only two posts... one of which is spam.
