Just saw this on the NPR website. Turning juvenile delinquents into EMT's and then placing them with ambulance services. In a State where there are 25 EMT's (or better) for every position, who thought this was a good idea? I would hazard a guess that none will be placed with SFFD. The IAFF wouldn't allow this. Craziness. I would propose turning them into hosemonkeys and let them fight the wild fires instead of playing with people's lives.

I love California and all their trailblazing ideas for paramedicine. Lead on, my friends!
