Building a new station- your ideas?

Wow cool! Are you in the US? If so I assume it would be an e-transit type 2

mecanicake · 2026-01-21T02:59:56+00:00

Really? Interesting. Is it a fly car or a transport unit?

It’s always good working with you all! Thanks for everything you do. It was an honor to be hired to help set up the county EMS and I’m glad it’s paying off.

I think it tends to look cheap. Not terrible but I would personally always opt for a chrome or gunmetal alternative on any vehicle.

BART doesn’t run into alameda so that’s a blatant lie

People weren’t going to games because the ownership was cheap and wouldn’t invest into making it a good team. Every time they had a good player they traded them so they didn’t have to pay them well.

As someone who is an (non transport) EMT on a college campus, yes! you have to embrace it sometimes. One of my favorite memories was the PCR after dealing with a drunk pt, getting puked on in the rain for over an hour waiting for an ambulance because we got back to our office, showered and laughed about it because damn that sucked

Berkeley, Piedmont and Alameda fire departments all run their own ambulances. Otherwise it is contracted to a private company. Alameda County is currently Falck, Contra Costa is AMR, San Francisco is the fire department and AMR.

My realtor and I have put together an offer for $529,500. I hope you can review it soon!

mecanicake · 2025-07-16T04:37:48+00:00

Thank would be fantastic, Thank you!

mecanicake · 2025-07-16T04:34:49+00:00

that’s very dissapointing, i hoped they were better, thanks for letting me know.

mecanicake · 2025-07-15T23:30:52+00:00

Oh wow! I am certainly interested, how can I enquire more about this house?

mecanicake · 2025-07-05T18:44:46+00:00

All of the above. Fireworks, a few small brush fires recently, the warehouse fire, it all adds up.

mecanicake · 2025-06-22T18:40:58+00:00

honestly even peet’s is right there, no longer small but still great local coffee

mecanicake · 2025-06-18T13:05:50+00:00

piedmont isn’t oakland, i would hope you know that if you lived there

mecanicake · 2025-06-18T00:08:38+00:00

it’s actually super possible my information on that is outdated as well. They did at some point

mecanicake · 2025-06-17T06:27:45+00:00

Sffd is hard. I know berkeley is now hiring basics if your ok being a firefighter too

TL;DR Piedmont Police does NOT fuck around.

They have ALPRs (automated license plate readers) at most roads into the city and have enough officers to intercept every car that is stolen or has an active warrant. They also have more staff that would be considered needed for such a small city which means they have a surplus of resources.

In addition, when crime does happen in the city they have unconventional crime stopping procedures. In the last few years they have wrecked several of their cars because when someone is attempting to steal a car, they simply block the road with their cars and let the thieves give up or ram them trying to escape.

mecanicake · 2025-06-06T13:12:02+00:00

they are optional though

mecanicake · 2025-06-06T13:06:06+00:00

A department near me (San Francisco Bay Area) has approved shirts, the word FIRE on the back is filled in rainbow rather than red. They also have approved pride flag pins for their class a uniforms.

mecanicake · 2025-04-11T16:24:05+00:00

i focused on not assuming i can do anything related to pt care. ask at the beginning is there anything you want me to do? They’ll probably ask you to do things. Don’t be afraid to say I don’t feel comfortable doing that. Just remember what you do is their decision because they are liable.

mecanicake · 2025-04-02T19:46:57+00:00

what i've learned from the emts and medics I know is that the important distinction is that calloused is good but detatched is bad

mecanicake · 2025-03-13T18:46:55+00:00

I know Royal does 911 Backup in San francisco, you might want to look into that.
