Hey, I was just thinking you know what would be a great video. Let's go up to the fire expo in Harrisburg on your Pennsylvania native. I think that would be the terrific video. You can make a pound of that four or five videos in that place right there. And you know, Harrisburg at the fire expo used to be at dust, wonderland and Lancaster. But now he moved to the farm show complex and Harrisburg. That would meet awesome. Awesome videos and then you can see all the fire trucks and everything. New gear everything. Think about it.

I find it so interesting that North American services aren’t 100% paramedic staffed. In Australia, bachelors degree qualified paramedic is the minimum requirement. Is there a reason for that at all? I could google but everyone seems very passionate and knowledgeable in these comments.

@HeroesNextDoor 5 ай бұрын

They are far from 100% paramedic. If that was the case we would not have enough providers. Even now it’s hard to find a paramedic at times

@thisissparta789789 5 ай бұрын

Each state is different. In New Jersey, per state law, these local ambulance agencies are not allowed to have advanced life support. Paramedics can only come from hospitals and ride around in hospital-owned ambulances or in flycars. Instead, these local ambulances are certified to the basic life support level, which at a minimum in NJ is two EMTs (approximately 4-6 months of training). When they get a call requiring ALS, a hospital paramedic is dispatched alongside them, and they either meet them on scene or they intercept with them on the way to the hospital depending on the distance, the severity of the call, and how long the initial ambulance is on scene. In a place like Princeton, you will get a paramedic (almost) all the time, they just won’t be on the same ambulance as Princeton FARS. (I say almost because I assume the lowest of the low priority calls will only get BLS and no ALS dispatched.)

@spiro2992 5 ай бұрын

@@HeroesNextDoor I just find that so interesting ! We have an oversupply of paramedicine graduates in Australia and a lot end up going to the UK. I’ve heard of an increasing number going to the USA and that must be why.

As someone from across the pond the bewildering array of ways fire/rescue/ambulance is organised seems terrible for organising things. Don't get me wrong we do have reserve/volunteer/charity/private company/ etc options in these areas but they have specific roles to support the main ambulance and fire rescue organisations.

@mrengine9 6 ай бұрын

Usually yours are maintained by the country though, isn't it? Here, volunteering was the only way the towns, cities, and counties were able to afford these services. Now they're just continued in that same way because people want to keep volunteering or are slowly being taken over by career personnel but paid the volunteer organizations so that they stay volunteer in name only. It's odd how some things work but when it's all under a large incident, it's easy to know what trucks do which things.
