Firefighting…

So, hopefully this week I will start volunteering, & i have a few questions & I’d also like tips for being a girl..

What do we wear under turnout gear?

Is it a good idea to have a gym bag with extra clothes/personal hygene products with you?

Whats something I should get or have on me? I always see firefighters with knives, should I get one?

Anything I may not be aware of please let me know..

Trauma Junkie. It’s not that I want you to get hurt, it’s that I want to be there when you do.

I can’t get enough of EMS & sometimes I don’t think I’m following enough blogs.

I really want to be a volunteer firefighter, but, I’m nervous. haha

Less than 1% of pts placed in spinal immobilization benefit from the procedure

The stress and discomfort caused by placing a pt in c-spine can increase catacholamine release, increasing heart rate, blood pressure, and myocardial oxygen demand which is potentially more dangerous than their neck pain. Obviously the matter is more complex than I’m making it here but I don’t have the time to write a paper on spinal injuries. Bottom line, c-spine is stupid.

Yes.

agh wow. it’s incredibly uncomfortable.

What are good shows/movies on Netflix?

I feel lost without any more Rescue Me episodes to watch..

I think at one point in my life I want to become a cop..

So, I had been watching Rescue Me on Netflix and I finished all the episodes and seasons already :’(
