One of the Paramedics, while maneuvering his ambulance out of the tight quarters that was then my station, ran over my helmet. My head was not in it at the time.

He is now one of my lieutenants.

Side note: When the helmets the FDNY EMS now uses were first issued, to test how strong they were, someone at another station supposedly parked his type 1 ambulance's rear wheels on top of one! Then, he sent it back to our repair service, with the repair tag indicating the damage was from normal wear and tear! Imagine the raised eyebrows at the equipment depot, seeing the split helmet, and that on the repair tag?

I also took a mirror off the side when a tree jumped into my ambulance's path. I took the truck to my own mechanic, and replaced the mirror out of pocket.
