Events for a story about a firefighter?

Posted by admin on December 29th, 2009 and filed under fire apparatus | 2 Comments »

I’m writing a story seen through the eyes of a city firefighter. I need help coming up with ideas for things to happen and what city this should take place in. Let me know what you think the fire apparatus numbers should be too. =) thanks much

Some events that I think that you should put in your book are, but not limited to the following incidents:

1) Multi-casualty incident i.e.: a plane crash, a train crash, or something like that.

2) A fire involving a couple of structures from history

3) An incident that involves seizures, burns, heart attack (each for different incidents)

4) Car Accident

5) A fall onto the ice

6) Skiing accident

You should choose a place i.e. Vancouver that has many different mountains and stuff around.

I hope that this helps you.

can my friend become a volunteer fire fighter?

Posted by admin on December 29th, 2009 and filed under volunteer fire | 1 Comment »

my friend mike is really into volunteer fire fighter and hopefully becoming a paid fire fighter but he has been arrested over a year ago for possesion of marijuana and later on a dwi and with the possesion charge he got PBJ for 6 months and he completed that, and with the dwi the officer never showed up to court so it was droped.
thanks in advance!!

The answer actually depends upon your local jurisdiction and laws. For many jurisdictions, the fire department will conduct a background check, but can decide for themselves if they want to accept a particular candidate. Other jurisdictions might be forbidden by law to accept certain candidates.

There’s no harm in volunteering and seeing if he is accepted or not. However, note that the requirements for paid firefighters are probably more stringent. That said, they may have leeway there as well.

How do I report someone who constantly gets out of trouble by flashing a volunteer fire fighter card?

Report them to your local regular fire department district chief or to the local law enforcement agency.
Be sure you have the name correct and why they are using this card , the circumstances.

EV training in Emerald, Fire Red, and Diamond?

OK, I have heard that there is a method to effort values, and it is using ten vitamins on one stat. This will give you 100 effort value points on that stat which is the equivalent of 25 points upon leveling up. Does this method work in all pokemon games (New and Old)?

Yes, that still works both new and old and will net you 25 points. Although that usually messes up my count for some reason so I normally just do it the longer way without items. Most others however still do it the vitamin way plus power-equips.

Does a fire safety check have to be caried out by the Fire Brigade?

Posted by admin on December 24th, 2009 and filed under fire | 1 Comment »

I am in Scotland, so please local answers only. Our factor is claiming that we need to spend money due to the fire safety ( 2005) act. However it is reluctant to show any proof that the stiar has been properly assesssed by an expert in Fire Safety. Should I demand proof of that a valid fire safety check has been carried out?

I’m not from or in Scotland but it’s only logical that if they’re asking you to spend money to upgrade some fire safety issue, that you’d want to see a valid inspection report first.

Since when does the fire station give free blood sugar exams?

Posted by admin on December 21st, 2009 and filed under fire stations | 6 Comments »

Ok i did not know this that the local fire station gives free glucose exam..???
So i just walk into the fire station & say give me a glucose test???
I have never heard of this free service before..
I hope you guys are not pulling my leg on this one..
Do all fire stations offer this?
I live in Las Vegas…
BTW is this the same exam i can get for free at the wal-mart pharmacy kiosk?
or do they draw blood?

No Big Deal. You buy a Glucometer for about $60, and 100 strips costs about $60. the STRIP is the ONLY thing that touches human blood, and each strip is used ONCE then thrown away — just like in the doctor’s office. It take NO special training to use the meter, and most firemen have some EMT training, anyway.

the PROBLEM is that ONE random reading tells you NOTHING. Without a complete medical history AND a complete daily history of your diet, exercise, and medications, random one-time tests can give a really bad false impression. And it works both ways. normal people are left scared spitless that they have diabetes because they get a one-time 130 reading, and diabetic patients are given a false feeling of security when they get a one-time 100 reading.

The ONLY way to get meaningful results is from the doctors office, using the A1C test.

And NO, this is NOT a country wide program for ALL fire stations. It is just a "Public Service" from anyone who wants to do it.

any one who can give me the ships particular of lng vessel puteri zamrud?

Why are complaints against fireman kept private?

Posted by admin on December 16th, 2009 and filed under fireman | 1 Comment »

I filed a complaint when a fireman would not let me access a paramedic. Now, because the complaint is an internal one, I can’t see what the reply was. I suspect some inaccuracies but don’t know how to get the report short of hiring an attorney.

You probably can’t get the report even if you hire an attorney. In almost all jurisdictions, complaints against police and firefighters are confidential, and may not be disclosed even pursuant to a "sunshine law" — sunshine laws almost always have an exception for personnel matters. The stated reason is to protect the individual’s privacy and also to prevent publication of allegations that might be false and maliciously motivated. About the only way you will be able to get a copy of the report is if you sue the firefighter. If you do that, you might be able to get the report pursuant to a discovery request. Even then, you will probably be subject to a protective order preventing you from disclosing the contents.
