    Whole Blood

    The public thinks of the local EMS system as transportation for sick people. But the name of the game is real emergencies- cardiac, strokes, OD's, and trauma. Even with a nearby cardiac suite with a low door-to-balloon time, paramedics can do a whole lot in the field. But dying trauma victims...

In Houston about two weeks ago at O- Dark -Thirty Hours, a young HPD officer arrested an HFD Paramedic for assault at a family disturbance EMS call. This created the HFD response of the EMS Supervisor, the...

    5/4/26 Manhattan 3rd Alarm Box 1791

    All very true. Somebody has gotta be in charge. In Houston, a previous Department Chief was an out-of-town DEI hire; nice person, good resume. A veteran District Chief observed that the guy had never been an IC at any fire bigger than an outhouse. If he went to an incident, he would talk to the...

    5/4/26 Manhattan 3rd Alarm Box 1791

    Let me see if I have this straight. They send Car 421- the Third Division Deputy- to Inwood, to tell the Seventh Division Deputy how to run his fire. And Car 3 is already there. Seems like HR is gonna have to get involved.

    LA County FD suing REV group, Oshkosh and others

    I gotta laugh! Someone musta fallen off the melon truck to believe this has got a shot. My prediction (and you all know there's a place to bet on this) is that somewhere along the line it will get tossed out. In the meantime, the manufacturers will spend millions on delighted lawyers to...

    4/28/26 Baltimore MD 3rd Alarm Box 41-30

    Never make fun of a Bal'more accent (that was a lombard truck going down Lumbar Street!) Never confuse a Bal'more accent with a Philly, WPa, Jersey, or any NYC accent! This box is in far east Baltimore... Engine 30 is halfway to West Virginia. Maryland Line vollies can beat Laurel in to that box.
