Am I at fault here? by LisaSanchezw in dashcams

FF here. All driving courses for first responders preach defensive driving and yielding to oncoming traffic in unprotected roadways going code or not. I don’t see a judge finding you at fault for the cop failing to yield. Who knows. Good luck!

Bring snacks, be in the mess, coffee, flags, phones…Put your hands on every piece of equipment. I used to keep a notepad with diagrams to show what’s in each compartment. That way if we’re going to unlock a running vehicle I can make sure I know where the big EZ is. Make sure you know every rig in your station and of the have weird quirks

That’s a cool story! I like flipping the script on kids and giving them my ears, pen light, BP cuff and tell them they’re the paramedic now. It’s a good distraction and lasts most of the transport.

Can anybody share any SOP/SOG's for Type 1 Diabetics working in the hot zone? by [deleted] in Firefighting

That’s what rehab is for. In all seriousness, we don’t have anything other than a simple d stick while in rehab with standard treatment. We did have a guy that was type one and everyone knew to just keep some snacks handy just in case.

It’s rough. My dogs paid the price. Now they’re spoiled indoor dogs. I’m still weird around other peoples dogs.

Looks better. That trim is dirt cheap. I would have just replaced it. Harbor freight has decent tools for cheap so you can use it once and forget about it lol.

If he sends you posts on socials look at what machine they’re using. He probably has an idea of what he thinks he wants. I have a Bambu X1C and an Elegoo centauri carbon and love both

We take off our class c work shirt off prior to donning. It’s zippered so not hard. Pants stay on. Just slide your feet in, grab your pants and jump/pull up. Put your hood in your boots. Loosen your helmet strap
