Can't Wait til season starts!!!!

(For those of you who dont know, for us southern folk, when the snowbirds (northerns) decide to envade Florida, we call it season)

In Season we have close to 1 million people in our county b/c of all the darn snowbirds. 34 ALS amublances and 1 million people, hmmmmm not a gooodcombination if ya know what I mean.

In season we are busy from 0700 AM - 0700 AM ther is never a dull minute. We run in season close to 15 -20 calls a shift. Out of season anywhere from 5 to 12 calls a shift. Our shifts are 24 hrs.
