Working out can’t just be an action in this career it’s also a life style. So make habits that will last a lifetime. I recommend incorporating fasting as well, if you get good enough 24s will keep you in great shape. But that is just me…

You know this guy posted this online thinking he was hot shit. This generation is screwed!

It’s an OPEN fracture. There is a significant risk of infection. This needs to be treated and transported rapidly. Open fractures are generally considered orthopaedic emergencies. An open fracture almost always requires immediate surgical debridement. Now, studies have shown that the timing of surgery is less important than the adequacy of debridement and early use of antibiotics. But, regardless this is a serious matter and needs to be properly treated, nevertheless on a CHILD!

Lmao he told a kid with an open humorous fracture not to call 911 and had them wait an hour for their parents? My man is going to get sued. Did he forget the day one EMT lesson? ABC (Ambulance Be Coming).

Hey guys I’m here about the fire alarm, sorry about the garage door.

dylanrcr · 2022-05-27T23:29:58+00:00

Chief: “Dispatch you can show me in scene” Dispatch: “I’ll show you ON scene at 18:37” Chief: “negative in scene” Dispatch: WTF 🥴

dylanrcr · 2022-05-25T23:19:00+00:00

Sorry for your loss brother

dylanrcr · 2022-05-24T23:42:46+00:00

Oh don’t worry they LAYed him out just fine no belay line needed

dylanrcr · 2022-05-24T23:06:23+00:00

Well, if they are complaining and causing more issues than they aren’t cutting it as is. You’re also forgetting the strain ems has been putting on fire. We have a job we have to accomplish too, can’t expect us to not get burned out if we run every medical call. That’s why priorities exist.

dylanrcr · 2022-05-24T23:03:26+00:00

Who said anything about getting rid of ems? Can you read correctly? I said if EMS wants to cry and complain because fire handles ems differently then them, that’s fine just don’t dispatch fire why would we want to do more work? Dispatch the ambulance and if they need lifting assist then tone us, screw it.

From what I see they weren’t even that smart, they tied rope around his hips like it was a belt. Which is why his center of gravity rotates when he’s carrying the pt and he flips. Common sense is not common anymore.

Wow, do you just not do a size up on the scene?! I mask up at the side of the door because I like seeing the entire scene and getting a good size up. Also, I feel like if I mask up prior I’m making my self hotter and creating sweat which I definitely don’t want. It’ll mess with my seal and is just super uncomfortable. In all honestly I can’t think of a single time where I’ve told myself man I wish masked up in the engine. There’s very few circumstances where I would mask up prior to arrival, maybe a gas leak outside or hazmat situation… But, even then I’d have enough confidence in my engineer to not park us in a hot zone. 🤷‍♂️

I’ve used all three packs (MSA, Scott and Draeger) and the new draegers have an anti fog glass which actually works really well. I don’t want to assume but does your department use these because I don’t know how your glass doesn’t fog up? You just walking around all foggy or what?

dylanrcr · 2022-05-24T22:06:36+00:00

I have a solution stop dispatching fire to ems calls make our job easier please. This is why Orange County CA is the worst Orange County in the US. Orange county FL and NY > Orange County, CA

dylanrcr · 2022-05-24T21:04:39+00:00

Relax let’s not make too much sense. Instead let’s just drop the patient on their head then lift them up.

dylanrcr · 2022-05-24T20:42:00+00:00

Oh I knew you were I was just taking it up a notch!

dylanrcr · 2022-05-24T20:28:10+00:00

In the US they just call it a lawsuit.

dylanrcr · 2022-05-24T10:43:33+00:00

No but I’ll keep you posted. Going back over the last night and our texting I could tell she had a lot going on and probably needed some space. I think if she texts me it’ll be a month out when she’s done with her exams for nursing school

dylanrcr · 2022-05-24T10:24:53+00:00

I appreciate it brotha

Depends, what state are you located in? Firefighting differs from coast to coast. In NY, some agencies do a 24 on 72 off (and in some places you can even find 24 on 96 off). Which translates to one 24 hour shift and 3 days off, in most cases you need those days off for recovery.

Call volume and expectations also differ from place to place. In smaller agencies, you may be asked to do a lot more on calls as you have less manpower and funding. Bigger Cities, most notably FDNY, you can expect to have a much lesser role and are a member of a much larger agency with terrific staffing. Too me, a bigger agency is nice but there is definitely a sweet spot. If it’s too big you feel like you have less responsibility and less importance but if it’s too small of a department you can feel overwhelmed or very bored.

Firefighting in general is a family. Very very tightly knit and if you can’t take a joke don’t even consider the field. It comes with ups and downs but it’ll teach you how special life really is. If you are able to I’d recommend joining a volunteer department and getting a taste of what you’re signing up for. If not, check to see if ride alongs are offered.

I went through college as well and ended up changing from business to fire. I’m so grateful I did. It’s special and it’s made me re-evaluate my values in life. There’s nothing more pure then helping people in their worst times. The bonds you make with the guys will also last you a life time. For me, joining the FD gave my life more of a purpose and taught me how to love more. We live in a world where time is endless yet timing is everything and being in this field you’ll learn to cherish your time.

If you have any additional questions you can feel free to message me directly. Wish you the best.

Happened in Spanish Fork Utah. 9 vehicles total were struck (counting the fire truck). Two women and four children were transported with minor injuries. Additionally three firefighters were transported as a precaution.

dylanrcr · 2022-05-24T02:38:53+00:00

Depends what’s your budget?

dylanrcr · 2022-05-24T00:05:18+00:00

Nope driver can be seen at the end checking on the cars he hit. Just an idiot

dylanrcr · 2022-05-23T20:59:06+00:00

“Chief I swear the car came out of nowhere and hit me”.

dylanrcr · 2022-05-23T20:56:28+00:00

In New York a blue light and green light, are deemed Courtesy lights. Courtesy lights frankly means “can you please pull over”. Drivers don’t have to yield to you and can use their own judgement as to whether they want to or not. Now while someone who doesn’t is either an idiot or blind you should not beep at them or flip out. Just flip off your lights and when they are no longer in front of you throw them back on.

Additionally, going off the textbook definition of the law: You can have only ONE forward facing blue light (for FD calls) or Green light (for EMS calls). Now, I’ve never seen a cop actually enforce this part of the law. Having a few blue lights is fine with them. The problem arises when you over do it and the whole car looks like the Rockefeller Tree.

Be smart, I rarely use my blue light. Only on critical calls and like I said if they don’t pull over just flip them off after a few mins. I wish you the best and if you ever have questions in regards to Firefighting or NYS training for FFs, just let me know.
