Hey everyone,
New to this forum but been a member of MNN for almost a year now i believe. Anyways a little background. I am currently a student firefighter and am in school to get my degree in fire science tech and also another in fire service management. I was an intern for Aurora for a while so i have been around the service for a little while. So hello!
OK now the fun stuff
I scan aurora very closely and I just heard a call that i couldn't help but chuckle about and hang my head. Engine 2 got a call for difficulty breathing. They are on scene for several min and then you hear this transmission...."Dispatch engine 2, were going to need the truck with the man sack, an extra engine for manpower and the bariatric ambulance. Now I can only imagine how big this lady must be, but it is sad commentary! I remember a call I rode on that they had similar problems. and i was embarresed for this guy. We didn't even put him on the pram! We rolled him onto the whale tarp.....i mean man sack and drug him into the ambulance and he rode on the floor.
Anyone had similar experiences?
