I cannot speak for all volunteer orginizations, but ours is completely volunteer.Like you said, if somebody is paid, then you are not volunteer.
unfortuneatly we live in such a time you can get sued for anything at any time by anybody, and working in a public forum, just makes it that much more probable. Hopefully you can still keep the fever of helping people that need you.
The only time we use class A is at a funeral or in a parade, such times you need to dress up. Other times regular street clothes, t-shirts, or polos. But that is on a volunteer squad.
maybe that is why we have beenhaving so much trouble with the IRS, and you are right, we need a new lawer, thanx.
Skip, I don;t know what I did to get under your craw, but you sure have been picking me apart lately. According to the IRS, whom we have been working with lately , if you have any other designation than 501c3 the doners cannot use their donations ...
Mil-spec means military specifications, generally more heavy duty the non mil-spec.
Even as far as the IRS is concerned, if you pay anybody you change from a 501c3 ( tax deductable) orginazition to a for profit, which is big to some doners. One way you could do it is your members earn so many credits during the year or after so m...
Nathan, I disagree that EMT is easy. You are looking at it as paid-pro, but I am looking at volunteers. If you make it harder to get an EMT license, there will be less volunteers. As it is we are working with very few dedicated members, and some o...
Amen, that shows that you care and can be professional and have a heart for the peoplle you care for. I like to think that I can be in the same ranks as you and people that really care.Keep up the faith, that's the biggest part of EMS.
I know most of the people reading and answering this are paid pros, but I have been on a volunteer squad for 11 years, and I don't claim to know all that much about paid pros. A lot of people join and then don't come to meetings or respond to call...

Hi everyone, I have been working a Fly Car now for 2 years. I also like the concept. In fact, the hospital that I am working in (Bangkok, Thailand) is the only hospital base ambulance that operate this type of vehicle with multi-tasks.
If you work in a "fly car" or "first responder" this is the place for you. Say hello, get to know each other, share experiences good or bad. A good place to vent or just learn what we all do in our regions.
Very interestingly, how do you apply them (ice packs) on the patient ?
