I found a bunch of those in my old kit. Threw them in the garbage.
Damned racoons got into them.
Now, they're outside bench pressing my dog.

Quote of the day, "“The City and the FDNY did the right thing. People who hate Jews should not be trusted to save them from fires. Good luck to the community where he’s re-assigned.”
The Jewish community in Brooklyn was outraged when they learned that a New York City Firefighter with a history of being an open anti-semite and racist had been assigned to a Borough Park station. So they drove him out of town.

QUOTE
Joseph M. Cxxxxx, 28, who once tweeted “I like Jews about as much as Hitler”, also wrote: “Getting sick of picking up all these Obama lovers and taking them to the hospital because their medicare pays for an ambulance and not a cab.” On Martin Luther King Day in 2013 he tweeted, “MLK could go kick rocks for all I care, but thanks for the time and a half today.”
Joseph M. Cxxxxx, 28, the son of former FDNY Commissioner Salvatore Cxxxxx, graduated from the Fire Academy last week and was assigned to Engine 247 on 60th Street. The younger Cxxxxx had resigned his job as an FDNY Emergency Medical Technician in 2013 after Tweeting racist and hateful comments about Blacks and Jews.

Also,
Apparently you can ram a key through someone's skull. Lucky he didn't die.

Video: Duck, Dodge and Roll | Lessons from My Neighborhood. They use puppets who are shooting guns and a musical sing along to teach kids how to stay alive on the streets of Kansas City ...yes, really.

Baby swallows a battery.
9-1-1 is called.
"He will poop it out. No hospital." - Paramedics
...time goes by.
Living tissue around the battery died, he required multiple surgeries and has permanent injuries.
Medical bills topped $1.6 million.
Paramedics were "retrained"
Taxpayers will pay $475,000.

Doesn't say, but I wonder if they called around shift-change.

Not trying to be a douche; honest.
I mean, this has come up several times before, but why don't you start a stand-alone first responder/ambulance stories thread?
Seriously. :nod:

If you have the right partner, doing good work together is the most fun you will ever have in your life.
The Radio Chatter banner reads: "Off topic discussions not relating to the Canadian Army."
But, if 9-1-1 calls ( of the WTF variety ) are too off-topic for Radio Chatter, we can use the Emergency Services forum.

My initial point was that posts being made to a level considered spamming is excessive; not every-other thread must include "once, when I was an ambulance driver..."mariomike said:
But now that you have pointed it out, if there's already an Emergency Services forum, you would think a Mod would point out that "we already have a thread on that topic; for convenience and orderliness please post there."
That way, these posts be more easy to find for those interested... or ignore, for those so inclined (much like I ignore recruiting topics, which even though they're actually relevant to the military, I have no interest). Posting here, under WTF News, people will look in to find what the latest "WTF" is.... only to see, "Oh that, again ."
You are of course, free to do as you see fit.

I've met a few people who call Paramedics "ambulance drivers".
I just assume they may not know the qualifications required to even apply to become an "ambulance driver" in Ontario.
The least of which is a two-year college diploma,

As I said to you yesterday, going forward, WTF 9-1-1 will be in the Emergency Services forum. Rather than WTF Radio Chatter.

There is a solution. Go to https://army.ca/forums/index.php?action=profile;area=summary;u=16095 On the left margin look under "Modify Profile". Select "Buddies/Ignore List". Then click "Edit Ignore List". Then the rest is self evident, have at it.
Or you can do as I do. Live with it. The same as I do with a very small number of the posters on this means whose occasional activity makes me shake my head and worry for the future of mankind. I do have some set to ignore and I have not felt a loss by not reading anything they may have posted. There are very few on this means that I would judge as providing wise, well structured and relevant comment in most of their posts (I'm definitely not in that fraternity), but not everyone can be ERC.
