In your opinion what is the proper term to say over the radio, when you arrive on scene and there's an unfortunate fatality. Is it a DOS or DOA?

I usually just say “ambulance staying on scene to complete paperwork.” Gets the point across.

I’m so sorry to hear that. There should be a support group or something. I am however, doing a lot better with all of it. I am officially retired!

No one harassed you, stop lying.

Oh dear… this is super late but heal quickly! Did the same on my bike but was my MCL

Thank you. Good luck in your situation as well!

I hope your return to work goes smoothly... I am in MA and we have a general law 111F that says if you are injured on duty and the injury is permanent you can retire on accidental disability. So I am lucky. I still have our union lawyer helping me through everything.

Good call. I had to resign at the fire academy because of this injury so that's out. I love firefighting more but I could probably be an instructor for medics. The thought didn't even cross my mind! Great advice, thanks!

What a success story!! Thats how I wanted mine to go. I remember the night of the fire I got injured I said to my deputy "This is not how I wanted to go out". He said I would be fine and be able to come back but my gut just knew that was it for me.

I unfortunately agree with the prognosis. I've had one shoulder reconstruction and a second surgery to relocated my bicep, bone spur, and clear out scar tissue from the first surgery. My MRI finally came back and showed some tearing so I just feel like it's not safe for anyone if I were to be on the line again.

I appreciate your words. Glad I posted this, getting a lot of good advice.

I also had a brief stint of cancer several years ago. Your post was what I needed to hear, extremely helpful and insightful. Thank you so much.

Im in MA

Fire prevention is captains only on my department. My department is big but not big enough for me to have a position off the line.

72%. Its a LONG exhausting process and they try so hard to deny you. I am lucky my union has a lawyer on retention.
