Kaisu Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 I am on duty today and tonight and I am not looking forward to it. Our town holds a big street party on New Years. The main drag is blocked off for approximately 10 blocks and people wander around drinking and partying. Driving our ambulance to the inevitable calls within these blocks is "challenging". We inch our way through the crowds with lights and sirens. People (drunks) seem attracted to the commotion and converge toward the vehicle staring blankly at us as they peer intently through the windshield, their stumbling trajectory taking them into the general direction of our front grill. It looks like zombie nation. There are mobile units stationed throughout but transport is often delayed. Last year, I watched the fireworks at midnight from the street party, then 1 hour later, watched them across the river in Riverside County. That part was pretty cool. My crew also ran call 1 of 2011 at a minute after midnight. In our 35,000 call/year system, I had bragging rights. I wish everybody a safe and fulfilling 2012.
