What size tank does it have on it? How many GPM Pump?

Now comes the question....do you stock it BLS or with just a first aid kit? Cause all Fire Apparatus has to have medical equipment.

Woods Walker, Could you run this down for those of us (okay, it might only be me) who don't know the situation? I'm guessing glucose monitor but have no idea of the significance of the numbers other than low must be good. Thanks, KYZ These numbers mean his diabetes is not just controlled, but contr...

That's pretty impressive. Must be a busy system. What level provider are you.

Ian's a paramedic.

I'd just buy a small O2 tank and have the regulator and delivery devices. cheaper in the long run

I wouldn't call it feeding a troll. I would call it being accountable for the things you say. You have misstated facts and given false information to people on the board. Making several thousand posts does not make you an expert. Your level of training according to your signature is EMT which is th...

You really cant go wrong with Conterra, 5.11, or Ferno. If you're leaning towards a tacticool product then I would recommend LBT or Tactical Tailor. IMHO the most important thing to consider is how you want your equipment to be laid out. Once you know that, just find a bag with the internal structu...

I like the 5.11 ALS bags, I have the backpack one, but the BLS and ALS standard bags are solid too. Or even the Meret packs, those are really good bags imo.
I personally HATE StatPacks after using them

I found my aid bag. Its custom, bright red, excessively large, and far too awesome to describe prior to its arrival. Prepare yourselves, for the most ridiculous aid bag the world has ever seen. Yeah, please follow up with pics, order info, etc. Or, better yet, a thread of it loaded out for us to dr...

I have something large, but probably not as baller as an SAER pack. It's an ALICE that was heavily modified, reportedly by Tactical Tailor for a PJ. I don't know how true that is, but it's a solidly built pack. (If anybody has any additional info on this pack, I'd love some history) Note that the l...

I'm considering joining one of the State Medical Response Team, and they're also Federal DMATs. Do any of you have any experience working with or on a Federal NDMS DMAT? If you do, I'd like to hear more about what you guys are capable of doing and capabilities of the field facilities.

Benchmade AutoTriage. So far after a little over a month carrying it I like it a lot more than my SOG

+1 this...got mine refilled at a dive shop, cost me 10 bucks.....prices vary on shop, but dive shops should do it.

Quoted for truth. I am sorry, but some of those I bet would just flat out fucking kill the patient......and some are just fucking stupid.
Also, I can't trust anything that spells FETAL "foetal"

Haven't used them but several co workers have them and love them. Also, for my fellow EMT/medics/firefighters you can get a 50% off pro deal from leatherman. All you have to do is upload a copy of your cert. Here is the link:http://www.leatherman.com/pro.html This is the best and worst thing to hap...

Looks pretty good honestly. Maybe look into a WFR or WEMT course if you haven't taken one. Also, if you know how to (properly) use a BVM, maybe consider one instead of the pocket mask.

Many thanx for the good advice. I read the article, as well. A bit above my skill level, but I think I got the important parts. I've kept an Asherman, 33" Gorilla tape(2"), and a decompression needle in my small "trauma Kit". I mainly keep the needle for use by someone with the required skill level...

Very good. I want to emphasize that the specialists in the Burn Centers do NOT like it when you slather a burn with vaseline, ointment, cream, or anything else: this stuff will trap heat if applied before the burn is cooled, does nothing to assist the victim, and creates a lot of painful work for t...

SOG Flash II Assisted opening....half straight blade half serrated blade...sharp little bastard too. Mine is the black model (don't really like shiny nickel plated)

When did ARC add TQ use back in the First Aid course? AHA and ARC work together on new first aid guidelines and I haven't seen anything come across in training memos about First Aid covering TQs again on the AHA side. I'm not sure when exactly, but it is in the First Aid/CPR/AED Participant's Manua...

None I know of. HyFins, BCS, ACS, Halos all are four sided sealed. Most have a flutter valve on them. If there is one with a three sided, I'd be surprised since they all pretty much have a valve on them.

Thanks for that tip dude! As for making you need a pair...you're welcome. No problem. Consider us even. Make sure you get the gel I pictured, It's a lot easier to work with. Will do! In all seriousness, these shears are EXACTLY what we've come to expect from Letherman, and that is high quality and ...
