Commander Rasseru Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Hey! What about the Tech Services! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Bells Gaming Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Fire Department!Why? becasue they are jack-of-all trades! Police? solve crimes and disputes. Paramedics/EMTs? Fix you. Fire Fighters? Put out your Fires, cut you out of your car, rescue you from a well/trench, investigate CO for you, assist Police with entry, Assist EMS with life support, Building collapses, and SO much more i cant think of...But, I'm not dissing Police OR EMS. All three need each other that^^^ is just my opinion, since it was asked ;p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChicagoFirefighterL3 Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Well so far im my carrer ive been to fires, extracted people from cars, trench rescue, water rescue,hazmat,high angle rescue, and a guy from my station chased down a guy who stole somewomans purse. So if thats enough. Oh and don't forget all those bull shit EMS calls we get stuck going to or if theres a alarm going of and they don't know what it is they call us. Then theres things like guy gets his hand stuck in toilet or someone fell and needs help getting up. But we don't do everything but we do a whole hell of alot of stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entonox Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 I would have to go with the ambulance service (East Midlands Ambulance Service) because it's the profesion i'm going into. I would have to also so St John Abulance too because if it wasn't for that organisation i would not be where i am today Ent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyle308 Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 I say EMS for the win. i agree i am biased because im an EMT and I work on an ambulance. one that is not affiliated with a fire department. which is not that common here in the US.

Guest miked9372 Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 dispatch all the way Dispatcher monitors the location of emergency medical teams and police officers, and dispatches the appropriate team in case of emergency, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, www.bls.gov. A 911 Dispatcher is typically the first responder in an emergency situation. If qualified, the 911 Dispatcher can provide medical information to the caller until emergency help arrives.

A 911 Dispatcher is typically the first responder in an emergency situation. If qualified, the 911 Dispatcher can provide medical information to the caller until emergency help arrives.obtained from http://www.murphys-laws.com/murphy/murphy-EMT.htm •The Basic Principle For Field Personnell:Assume that all dispatchers are idiots until their actions prove your assumption•Basic Assumption About Dispatchers:Given the opportunity, any Dispatcher will be only too happy to tell you where to go, regardless of whether or not (s)he actually knows where that may be.Corollary 1:The existence or non-existence of any given location is of only minor importance to a Dispatcher.Corollary 2:Any street designated as a "Cross-street" by a Dispatcher probably isn't.Corollary 3:If a street name can be mispronounced, a Dispatcher will mispronounce it.Corollary 4:If a street name cannot be mispronounced, a Dispatcher will mispronounce it.Corollary 5:A Dispatcher will always refer to a given location in the most obscure manner as possible. E.g., "Stumpy Brown's Cabbage Field" is now covered by a shopping center. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
