Fuck that. I’m so fucking glad that EMS is separate in our department.
20 u/SuperglotticMan Jun 22 '25 What do you guys do all day? If we didn’t have EMS we’d run like 5 calls a day and they’d be fire alarms and car accidents 9 u/Ok_Buddy_9087 Edit to create your own flair Jun 22 '25 Department near me not only has separate EMS, they don’t even go to car accidents unless they’re on the highway or EMS asks for them. And in a completely unrelated story, they’re also the only area department to have laid anybody off in the last 20 years . 13 u/Affectionate-Bag-611 Jun 22 '25 Probably a volly. 4 u/HalliganHooligan FF/EMT Jun 23 '25 As it should be. Using BS EMS calls for justification of positions is why the fire service is in its state today. 2 u/South-Specific7095 Jun 22 '25 We run our own ambo calls, but it's seniority and only the bottom 2 guys are on the box. No chasing, no ALS, ONLY BLS. Unheard of right? And we are considered busy fire wise. The rest of the guys do just that-sit around, do some MVCS, and relax
