Proof that poop happens.

Walnut sized..exactly what I had in mind....

I'll say it..

While I applaud people who are willing to donate their time and effort...and I know we all live in different places so we have different perspectives..

I think in my area firefighters need paid and some requirements met. I'm being dead serious when I say this..I bet you not one person on that extraction team could do 5 push ups or run up a flight of 50 steps.

If they wanna have volunteers to assist those people that's great. But some of those people move like old people fukk..and the thought of your life being in their hands is pretty scary...

The Firefighters in my area have garnered the moniker basement savers.

Cellar Savers around here.

The one local FD just burned down last Saturday. If only they had some equipment designed for putting out structure fires...

I’m not trying to be a dink, are they just supposed to trust whatever someone tells them when they roll up on a scene? I don’t see how that would work. What if they took your information and it was wrong, who’d be liable? I know... too much litigation in the world, I get that. But in a situation like that, they need to do it their way. At least that’s how I see it. I have full respect for your opinion, no disrespect meant.
In the house/tree incident, I’m not sure I’d want to start climbing through the maze, what if zhit fell from under me? Then I become part of the rescue. Have to be able to safely get to the rescue-ee.

I agree 100% on not trusting just anyone, but when you are in a medical facility and the MD. Is the one giving pt report you shut up and listen!
I also agree on the extrication cautions. Even worse than a Rescuer getting hurt is more harm to the patient by not stabilizing the situation before extricating them. ThT is a map practice suit in itself. Unfortunately we have to think about these things as we work otherwise we loose our patch and our livelihoods as well. It’s nondifferent than any other profession where there are best practices and standards of care and caution. If not followed those involved are liable. Rescue and extrication takes time, way to much now days I agree tht more harm is usually done by the time it takes for a “complex” rescue to be accomplished but that’s where our litigious society has gotten us today.
Sure does make public servants jobs more stressful and more expensive to perform.
