You still have a jordan frame.......

And so what if we do lol…

If your still using Oxy-Viva’s, pakka wakers, canvas stretchers, the old green BVM’s and the sirens that sound like an air raid siren lol

Responding to an car roller over on the back of the fire truck cause its to muddy to drive the ambulance in…

The helicopter has to fly above the ambulance because the location is that remote it doesn’t register on GPS.

Setting off a distress flair because we couldn’t get any radio or mobile service.

This is a true storey I was called out to stand by for a grass fire the other day we get paged out for structure fires a lot, however; this was the first time I was called to stand by for a grass fire.

when your idea of a rig check is to open the bay door and say "check the rig is there"

This one is a funny one

What can also be said is When your idea of truck check is when you open the bay door and say "OK check the ALL Fire Trucks are here and Ambulances too" if you live in a town or county that has Fire- EMS combined departments

These are hillariously true . . . And if you've every done CPR straddling the patient in a Stoke's being pulled behind a snowmobile . . . you might be a rural EMT!

Nope.. If they require to be towed by the RTV or the SnoAid Sled... and they need CPR, they're officially DOA.

Days of rolling CPR are over. If they do not revive on scene the are called on scene. Why put yourself and everyone else at risk for a dead person?

When someone's radio report sizing up a scene literally says "yeah we got a pickumup truck upside down in the ditch"

When your county has roads like "boo boo ln" and "dam way dr" seriously, Menard County Illinois

The Jordan Frame doesn't look like a well constructed device..? Is it like a break-away flat? Just for moving a person? Because it looks like the person can move around quite a bit.

My

Gawd!

I don't remember seeing that type stretcher even advertised for more than 20 years!

Anybody/any service still using that...that...THING?
