Our first two calls of the new year were:
A possible drunk driver and A traffic accident where...you guessed it the driver was drunk. All in all it was a pretty decent night. |

First call for us: Fight in progress (approximately 75 people in the middle of the street)
First for FD: Cleared rout for FD going to a house fire (don't know specifics, as I got called away as I was getting there for the fight) |

sounds like a firetruck with the big hose could have solved both of your problems.
I know being high pressure blasted with water when its freezing cold out would take the motivation to fight right out of me! |

it probably will be in my town, first call of the year, shots fired!!!! EVERYWHERE. It sounded like Beruit last night, we were so outnumbered there wasnt anything we could do, 6 people on duty in a town of about 35,000.
Oh well, thats why we get the big bucks......hahahahha |

First call was shots fired with an adult male with a hole in his leg. Looked like a fist fight that escalated into a shooting. Of course, everyone there said that it was accidental, a couple of them said that the suspect was suicidal and wanted to end it all and the victim tried to disarm him. Stupidity reigns supreme already.

I hope not.
My first call was 'unknown trauma' which ended up being two intoxicated males who had been riding on the hood of a car, which was being pulled by another car, laying in the ditch by the side of the road. Pt number one was unresponsive, ended up with a concussion, separated shoulder, and abrasions all down his right side. Pt number two had an open tib-fib fracture JUST above the ankle. I ended up double loading them for transport to the hospital since there were no other units available. |

Nope. Thank goodness too, cause my husband's first call LAST year (just after midnight on the 1st) was a huge fire with 4 fatalities- mom, dad, 2 of 3 kids.
 The rest of the year didn't go nearly as horrific. (of course, I shouldn't be speaking for him....  )

Im impressed, that would make for one stressfull ride to the hospital. How many people on the squad? If it was just you and a driver then  .

Eh, it sounds more impressive than it really was I guess. My partner was a very experienced medic, which helped out a lot, but I work in a rural area and double-loading patients on wreck scenes is pretty common because of long response times. My facture pt was ok except for the fracture (in fact I got tired of his whining about the pain), I was much more concerned about my other pt because as he started to regain consciousness he was combative and I thought he might have a head injury. |

Yeah ive done the two patient thing for minor MVA's and its not two bad. But the with one of the patients being fairly critical id imagine I would want some help in the back of the box. Im lucky enough to be on a department that runs with at least 3 people on a squad 95% of the time(1 medic, 2 emt's). |
