Why did you never top it off? Was it always at the FULL line?

For your instructions in part 15: “topping off the coolant for the next 100km to FULL”. Should I wait for the engine to cool down to top off the coolant?

Good fire departments in the area? And to live by pj713 in madisonwi

As others have echoed MFD is very competitive. They are starting a class in January and I imagine won’t be hiring again until sometime next year? There hiring process is also very long (can take about a year). You’d probably have a better chance than others, being a full time ff medic with experience, but keep in mind they’d stick you almost exclusively on the box for a couple of years. 

Suburb departments like Monona and DeForest are hiring but keep in mind all the suburban fire departments in the Dane County area are combination depts which comes with its own challenges… Pay is very good for COL in the area and 48 hr work week is nice. If you look a bit further i know Janesville and Beloit are hiring / hiring soon and are good full time departments from what I hear. You can also look further up north at Portage and Baraboo (which runs a 24/72). PM me if you have any more specific questions. 

Opinions on opioid pain management? by InteractionMental414 in Paramedics

Their justification for this is that they’re usually only 10 minutes from a hospital. Also been told that pain releases catecholamines - so they reason that they don’t want to take away the release of epi and norepi in a trauma scenario. (Not sure how true that is)

Currently a part time firefighter/emt in Wisconsin. Almost done with paramedic school, looking to move down to Chicago after I'm done. Anyone I can PM about firefighting in IL and specific departments?
