The Responder II is an awesome little lightbar.  Being a college student, I couldn't afford a huge lightbar, a much as I would like.  This lightbar fit my needs.  It's bright (42,000 cp.), and fast.  My experience is that moving objects get peoples attention better, usually not dependent on brightness, to a degree.  A member of the squad i belong to made a clear cutout in front of the V-mirror, and it really puts out a nice flash!
(Of course, this coupled with the Dashlaser-M, and wig-wags will tend to attract attention, :)  )

to PA one or two times for short visits.  My wife was born in Ambridge
many years ago and left when she was only one or two and not been back
since.  Her father was in the military and stationed in Pittsburgh.  We
met in Florida and all her relatives are living in Texas so we have no
occasion for going there.  Too cold for my blood.  I was stationed in

                    ----------------------------------------
Everyone,
I have learned recently about a Firefighter here in Georgia that is in
desperate need of our help.  His name is Craig Samples, a 33-year old
Firefighter in Gwinnett County, Georgia.  Craig has been stricken with
Lou Gehrig's Disease, a muscular/neurological disease that renders the
body useless, even though the mind remains very alert.  Craig has spent
his life serving the public as a firefighter, and now, because of his
disease, he cannot even support his own family.  His disease has
progressed to the point that he can no longer even speak clearly.  In
addition, due to his condition, there is the added expense of wheel
chairs and other medical devices and services that are needed.  I am
asking everyone that reads this to please send a small donation to help
Craig.  Even $5.00 could make a big difference to him.  Donations can
be
made by sending it to the following address:

Craig Samples
C/O Partytown BBS
778 Windsor Circle
Lawrenceville, GA  30245-3119

All checks should be made payable directly to Craig Samples.  No money
sent will go to the proprietors of this or any other system.  All
donations will be forwarded directly to Craig.  I am doing what I can
to
help.  Can't you give just a little to this man who has given his
entire
life to his community.

Thank You

NL>Dry powder fire extinguishers have a problem with the powder getting

My compliments with an answer right on the money. By the sounds of the
description of the problem a few simple steps could have prevented this
problem. I usually advise people to check these extinguishers every few
months and take the time to turn them upside down enough times to make
sure that the powder is looses on the inside. These extinguishers are
usually provided with some form of indicator guage to show how much of
the propellant remains in the cannister. If it reads that it is time to
recharge it then it should be done promptly. Just another item that
maintenance is required and should be documented on. Just when you
don't
think it will be needed.....! Again I like your answer

Kurt,
 If the extinguisher is on a vehicle, once a week is recommended. If
not, turn
 it once a month. When you turn it, tap the sides so you loosen the
powder. You
 can feel the weight shift when the powder is loose.Don't forget to
check that
 the pin is hooked & the seal is in place, & make sure the gauge shows
that the
 extinguisher is fully charged. You also want to make sure that there is
no
 foreign objects in the discharge nozzle by visually checking the same.

Yea, I sorta like some of the big city style of dealing with problems 
like that.
 
I heard tell of a few places that take delivery of a new Ladder Truck
and 
send it straight to the shop to have the front bumper cut off at the 
frame. They then replace it with a reinforced 1/2" steel I beam so 
they can scoop the double parked cars and take them to the next 
intersection and drop them off there. Some cities have lots of style!

Hi EMS folks everywhere,

just found out about this group, hope my posting gets there...

I have a question about your experience with intraosseous infusion,
especially in pediatric emergencies.

Here in Germany, this technique is not yet commonly used in emergency
medicine. After a very bad expereience with a horribly burned 4month
child, I want to introduce it in our EMS district. 

There is one company in Germany that offers intraosseous needles (COOK).
There are different kinds, especially different needle tips. There are
35 degree lancet, 45 degree trocar and pencil point tips available.
Which one is best? I plan to get the 14 gauge size, 4.0 cm length,
with lateral sideports.

I would also like to hear about your expereience with this
technique in general. Is it really that easy? What are the pitfalls?

Richard

We are specifying a new ambulance:-)
The type is pre-determined :-( as a Wheel Coach on a Ford F350 with the 7.
something Liter Diesel.  We operate in a valley and thus have to climb
some pretty good hills to get to any care. Does anyone have experience
with this chassis and engine? and can you relate your experience?
