If any of your departments are looking for new or refurbished AED/Difib's I can surely provide you with cost effective options. We carry a full line of AED/DEfib's.

Hi all! There is a new association in California representing EMS professionals. Even if you are not an EMD, EMR, EMT, AEMT or Paramedic in California, please "Like" this page to support us!  CAAEMT Facebook Page

Hello, all. I'm an EMT-B in Taylor County, WI. The nearest hospital is 20 minutes away, just from the garage. We service about 1/3 of the county. We're upgrading to Intermediates soon.

Hello to all my fellow RURAL EMS family! I see by the comments that we all have about the same things to deal with. We have anywhere from 45 minute to 3 1/2 hour (in good weather) transfers to Level II Trauma Centers by ground. Add in snow, sleet, freezing rain and all the other winter stuff and it can get longer and more dangerous. The price of living and working in the wild west out on the frontier! It may not be glorious, but it is a whole lot of pre-hospital medicine at its' best. Work with 6 other fantastic people and we get-r-done. So, if you really want a challenge, mosey on out here to the Big Sky country of Montana, we won't disappoint you!

Hello all! Long time EMT-B, in class for EMT-I. Old age has made me give up the FF but still qualed as wildland FF. Here in Maine we
are mostly rural with some transport times over an hour on the ground.
In my day job I have access to helos (haven't had to transport anyone
yet) but am always looking for how folks handle being a long way out from definitive care.

Aaron, would love to hear more on your first on scene MCI!

I just became EMT-B, 15 year FF, the wicked physical FF stuff is good for crazy young ones! The Mohawk Valley in eastern NY is where I call home. Small villages and dairy farms, and a lot of seasoned citizens are what's here. My interest in EMS began after relocating a few miles and joining a new VF&RD. We have a great group (young & old) and several well experienced EMT's. The outdoors is my second home, doesn't matter what I do as long as it's outside. Growing my EMS skills has been truly rewarding and a great confidence builder, I look forward to growing those skills for as many years as the big guy has planned for me.
