I dont wish death and destruction on our citizens, but if its going to happen, I hope i'm there for it.

To everyone working this weekend. Hang in there. We can do this.

[The Probie @The_Fire_Probie]

Day shifters are weird

[The Probie @The_Fire_Probie]

I have found bandaid to EMS burnout. Be extremely nice to everyone, all day, no matter how salty you feel. It rubs off on you.

[The Probie @The_Fire_Probie]

Training with the mindset "I'll be the hardest man anyone tried to kill" might just put you on a whole new level.

[The Probie @The_Fire_Probie]

@SmokeEater1978 These people need to be charged by the pound after 2 calls of service in 1 year.

[The Probie @The_Fire_Probie]

Put this into consideration. Do you love someone enough that you'd live in the memory unit for them? If not....they ain't the one.

[The Probie @The_Fire_Probie]

Train hard today, train harder tomorrow. Be an animal.

[The Probie @The_Fire_Probie]

It's a tragedy to this service to shame and discourage those who train and commit to excellence. Don't be that guy.

[The Probie @The_Fire_Probie]

Why is the phrase "that's not how you really do it on calls" still around in modern day? Why arnt academy's teaching the real way? Dumb.

[The Probie @The_Fire_Probie]

I've determined that 75 percent of my calls somehow involve drugs or alcohol.

[The Probie @The_Fire_Probie]

We all get to that point as a confident medic until that one call knocks you back off your feet all over again

[The Probie @The_Fire_Probie]

Wish these academy's would bring in experienced firemen and teach aggressive attack instead of these young defensive minded probies.

[The Probie @The_Fire_Probie]

We loose to brothers in the line of duty but @CNN can't take their eyes off a body camera. Show some respect to those who have earned it.

[The Probie @The_Fire_Probie]

Plain and simple big egos cost big losses for everybody on the department and its mission.

[The Probie @The_Fire_Probie]

@E4Capt_PartDeux "But times have changed and we need to be prepared" True, stage even further away and don't go in until it's secured. Done

[The Probie @The_Fire_Probie]

I don't know much. What I do know is I'll follow the 20 year back step ff before the 5 year guy that made captain with little experience.

[The Probie @The_Fire_Probie]

"I'll test for captain in 5 years." How are you thinking about being a captain when you haven't even finished the academy? Pray for us.

[The Probie @The_Fire_Probie]

A department who promotes a 5 year guy with a degree over a 20 year guy who's crawled some hallways and seen his share. This isn't okay

[The Probie @The_Fire_Probie]

"Medic 1, you'll be paired with 4 officers to tactically triage, be advised of an active shooter" Instantly out of service mechanical/mental

[The Probie @The_Fire_Probie]

Recently I'm on a IM narcan kick. Finding it to be very consistent and reliable. Thoughts on IM+BVM and skipping the IN/IV all together ?
