I can offer some information form our departments.

I run on three rescue squads/fire co.s.  All three require ages of 16
to join.  But, under 18 is considered junior.  Anyway, they (<18) have
amess of legal rules, we will not discuss them.

On all squads, the <21 people represent the bulk if not all of our
daytime complement.  The two squads I ride at school here at Lehigh,
Fountain Hill RS, and Se Wy Co fire co, are extremely dependednt on
the college students.  If an ambulance is called during the day, 9 out
of ten times, the crew will be all Lehigh Students.....

Hope this helps.
(as it turns out, the collegiate persons tend to be the best as far as
handling personnel problems, ie, less bickering and more common
sense.)

There is a city in New Jersey? whose EMS is provided entirely by high school
students 16 and older --all EMT's under the direction of the local MD.

Though he doesn't run on the squad.  The students carry pagers to school,
work, etc.

They have received several awards for their work.  I'll have to look for the

   A STEP BY STEP APPROACH TO GROUP TREATMENT AND FIRE SAFETY EDUCATION, 
 
(40 page curriculum by Karen Johnson, LCSW and Chuck Campbell, Deputy Fire 
Marshal.) 
 
This eight-week education and therapy program is designed for 8-12 year old  
firesetters. This program helps children learn that fire play behavior is 
dangerous to themselves and others and that feelings influence behavior.  
The group activities teach children how to handle feelings in appropriate, 
safe ways to enable them to stop their firesetting. 
 
Fire safety topics include matches and lighter safety, home fire inspections. 
 
smoke detectors, exit drills in the home, 'stop. drop and roll' and arson is  
 
a crime.  Topics on handling stress include learning to listen, identifying  
feelings, what to do with strong feelings, staying out of trouble with  
others, rights and responsibilities and how to make choices and decisions.

This lesson plan is designed for the young curiosity-motivated firesetter.  
It teaches children that fires need grown-up supervision. Grounded in  
educational theory and practice, It focuses on the motive for firesetting,  
not the behavior. 
 
The Good Fires lesson plan was field tested with preschool children at  
the Fall River Firefighters' Memorial Museum. It Includes two scripts 
for story board activities. One script emphasizes the concept that A  
Firefighter is My Friend and the other script describes What Can Grown-Ups

I can't see why an individual corp would turn away the opportunity to have
active members that fall within the state's guidelines? (In NY you have to be
18 years old to sit for the EMT exam).

18 to 21 year olds are not kids in high school (not to say high school kids
can't do a good job) they are adults that can be in college or out in the work
force. In my community this is the age group that supplies the bulk of our
manpower. They are still living at home so they can afford to stay in the area
and they aren't working two jobs to support a mortgage.

I'd also be careful when setting standards...there is no problem in setting
high standards BUT they have to apply to everybody.  

Start small....get the 18 to 21 year olds in, have the rules set so you can't
be a crew chief until you have 3 years of active service as an EMT or what
ever level your corp runs with .... But this also now applies to the 30 year
old who joins. I think once you have some younger members in your membership
will be happy with the results.

My department (fire with two ambulances) takes 16 year olds in as firefighters
but you can't ride the ambulance until your an EMT thus 18 years old.
16 and 17 year old firefighters train and drill with us and perform all the
duties of an active firefighter except for interior firefighting and any other
dangerous duties. They also can't drive. The biggest thing we've done in the
past few years is to make sure that a parent comes with the 16/17 year old
applicant to their interview. During the interview we make it clear that the
16/17 year old can't leave school to go to a call and that their homework is
higher priority than our drills and training session.  In general we make sure
the parent gets their questions answered and that the applicant understands
the priorities.

Most of our 16/17 year old members have gone on to give us a lot of good years
but when they get to around 25 they move out of town to get affordable
housing.

I agree completely. 18-YOs are certainly capable of performing, given the
same education & experience. I worked over the summer for a private service
back in Louisville, and we had several techs under 21. In face, almost all of
our personnel were in their mid-20s to mid-30s; very few "old fogies" :-).

The only problem they ever had (legally speaking)  was that the insurance
carrier prohibited anybody under 21 from driving the bus, which meant that
they got to tech every call. Other than that, I noticed no problems at all
in their abilities, experience, etc.

Now that I'm back at school in Indiana, tho, I believe it's just plain
illegal to run under-21 techs.

PreScript: Please E-mail responses/replies, as I have problems
with my newsfeed right now and don't get this group (haven't
for a long time... sigh)

I recently completed a month in Nanaimo, B.C. in military medical
training.  This is approximately equivalent to the EMT-A training
which I already have.  After completion, I was considering my 
position....

I miss the emergency field.. I used to work for various ambulance
firms in this province (Alberta) as well as North Battleford in
Saskatchewan.  I also worked for the Emergency Department for the
Calgary General Hospital as a Nursing Attendant and was on the 
code team.

Where this is leading is.... I think it is a waste to have all this
training and knowledge and not be applying it.  I am in the last
year of a Computer Science BSc at the University of Calgary, but
would like to find some way to become involved in the EMS field
again.  I don't wish to keep on training and never use the
skills.

Anyone have any suggestions as to where or in what manner I might
be able to get involved... I don't ski (yet.. there goes ski patrol),
I don't have Bronze Cross (I do swim.. kinda..) I do cross-country
infrequently... I do hike etc.  I have been out of the field for
soooo long, that I have lost touch with what has been happening...
but I am completing my EMT-A theory refresher (SAIT) in addition to
the above mentioned course.

I wanna be involved... paid or not.. let's hear some ideas..

Thanx in advance for any input you can provide....

One of two indications for 100% O2 to a COPD pt. is trauma/perfusion
promise.  The other is significant SOB.  The thing to remember is that COPD
patients have an O2-based respiration drive: once they have "enough" O2 on
board, they stop breathing.  It is CRITICAL that this be monitored.

  A group of firefighters from Fairfax Co., VA are heading down
to Florida to assist with rebuilding some homes.  I was curious
if anyone had a good description of what the state of activities
is.

Thanks,
   Darrell Duane
