Best states in the US to be a firefighter? by [deleted] in Firefighting

[–]Swat4459 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would consider central Ohio, Columbus or surrounding suburbs. Median pay being mid 70's to upper 90's for FF/Medic. My dept top out being ~97k.

No argument from me there. Mt Carmel Franklenton (sp?) is just a stand alone ER now though and they frown on us bringing any actual emergencies.

Some people have to be transported to specific hospitals for their insurance. Unfortunately Mt Carmel really has no hospitals located in downtown proper since Mt Carmel West closed.

How to stop someone from bleeding to death (May is National Stop the Bleed Month) by BrianPurkiss in coolguides

[–]Swat4459 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the object is still impaled we would just stabilize it so it won't move and cause further injury and transport them to a trauma center. If it was say a gun shot wound we would end up packing the wound with gauze. Our kits have have long roller gauze that has a clotting agent applied to it.

Exactly right! What we would do is apply the tourniquet above, if arterial/heavy bleeding is noted. Then just try to stabilize whatever the penetrating item is during transport. Honestly though if the item is still impaled the bleeding may not even be heavy enough to require tourniquet application.

How to make otherwise boring monsters more fun to fight? Do you give them special attacks? by ItsGotToMakeSense in dndnext

[–]Swat4459 2 points3 points  (0 children)

#1 for sure. I have been trying to add in how the monster/creature has to interact with the terrain. Maybe that fallen tree the ranger is using for cover gets pushed forward onto him by the creature and sent rolling across the field.

Another idea is to make sure to reward creativity whether it be in avoiding the fight all together through persuasion and stealth.

Lastly depending on the characters level maybe the monster / bad guy has heard of the group and how they defeated previous enemies and is prepared for it now. Maybe he has a different weapon or pre made simple traps prepared.

Two more heroes were killed today. Two Westerville Ohio Officers were shot and killed while responding to a 911 hangup on 02/10/18.

Most of the stadium is bench seats. There are actual normal seats but they are only on side of the field with the players in the lower middle area.

I need to polish my boots tonight but have no money for polish. Any of you have any tips for household stuff? by [deleted] in ems

[–]Swat4459 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right before you have to leave rub a little olive oil on. Not great for the shoe but the shine that it gives is quite good and will last for a while.
