  1. Only our Class A requires a pinned breast badge, but our other classes dont require but are optional to wear a badge on our hip or our breast opposite out tags. obviously on shirts that dont have our insignia sowed in our scanned...
  2. The uniform, doesnt require a badge, its completely optional to wear my/your volunteer badge while on duty, it just helps when you show up to a scene in plain clothes and a license plate that says "firefighter" to identify yourself to the scene command. Obviously, if your not on duty or on call why carry it? Most of us dont, plenty of us keep the badge in the glovebox or our jump bag in case we need it, but other than that, only our "showy" volunteers who like the publicity wear them...So thanks for the comments, I was just wondering what others thought...
  3. Sorry guys, meant to say that this is a "replica" of my badge, obviously not going to put my badge and number on the web...
  4. What do you think as EMS? Do you or do you not wear a badge in uniform? Our class A's require badges with "Volunteer member" but we can have hip or breast badges (full size-star of life and Emergency Medical Technician-Volunteer member dependent...) on our class B and C Station shirt/T-Shirt--Polo/vest respectively... Would you wear a badge to identify yourself or hold some authority in the presence of LEO while working a scene, or would you just stay with your shirt and ID??? My badge attached It's a stock model because it's easier for the department to fit all volunteers with one badge
  5. Um...thanks for the help...I guess...
  6. Ok well, I'm glad to know that my fellow emergency medical responders don't understand that due to the context of my situation the government (which they always do) has changed the rules...neither one of my parents work for the Fire department or EMS my department is extremely rural and woodland/wildland, we have a few paid members as well as two fleet maintenance crew. Myself and the main mechanic. I have training enough to be called upon as an EMT by federal standards, and the town, county, and state standards...due to the fact that we have minimal paid staff the department as well as the state has trained all Fire/EMS employees as well as administration and fleet maintenance for BLS/EMT...
  7. Actually my state has issued me with a joint training/trained firefighter EMT card as we are a dual department...Its government issued and states that I am a nationally registered EMT just not my level...I am trained by my state and am USA nationally registered...
  8. I'm a 14 year old trained BLS/EMT which I guess you'd be 14 now too, It's hard to be young and be with working EMT's/paramedics...if anything wait...I dont think I should've joined so early but I did...Like stated it is hard to see someone die especially at such a young age...so from one 14 yo to another...just take it slow, you have plenty of years ahead of you
  9. I'm a really good Mechanic for my department, so they decided to train me in BLS so i'd be able to help on scenes, I have to wait 4 years until i get to take the exam, but i can study for it...I've responded to a couple calls as EMT but ive never done nor would i dare to perform any ALS or anything like that...
  10. Hey I'm a 14 year old trained BLS/EMT and I need some help studying for my EMT B certification, does anybody have any good advice??? I've been working for my department for about half a year as a paid mechanic, and volunteer BLS/EMT, so I'm not as experienced as a lot of you guys.
