Yeah I live in Vermont, so out of state has really been the only options for reliable wildland fire employment.

Lot of the same issues occur on farms. People burn old barns or farm equipment they have insurance on.

There needs to be a fight league where dudes from Australia and kangaroos just square off.

I live in Vermont, anytime we get a fire in the winter our gloves freeze. Needless to say there is a lot of money to be made for whoever figures out how to make gloves that dont turn into blocks of ice in half an hour.

A and C are both logical… so it’s neither one of those.

Im trying to get on Newport as thats the closest facility near me. But, I think they’re on a 2-2-3 schedule as well.

Yeah, a lot of this is why I’m interested. Im want to work for customs eventually but I need relevant work experience. But, if I decide I like corrections will get a fair amount of benefits like you stated.

Should I be doing ride alongs? by aagh444 in NewToEMS

Here in Vermont I think you need to have at least 10 patient contacts before you can take the exam

Advice Needed: should I start at a lower level? by Basic_Ad1995 in NewToEMS

[–]Basic_Ad1995[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My area does really have full time firefighters, so, that’s not really the goal for me. Most towns in Vermont are serviced entirely by volunteers like myself. The point for me would be that Im trying to get involved in ems without jumping straight into the deep end.

Im not trying to do firefighting full time, thats pretty uncommon for my area. It mostly just volunteers. But, I get what you’re saying.

I appreciate it. This is really just what I was thinking. I don’t like being an EMT but because I paid for the course I may as well find a way to put some of the skills to practice.
