Training for the Month of October

There is a lot of training going on this month. For October 12, 2010 we will conduct training after the truck check on Management of Burn Injuries (2.0 CE). Wednesday the 13th of October a billing agency will be over at the fire station to answer questions regarding billing. For those who are not aware, Becky is resigning as our billing person. The Fire District is looking for an outside billing company to do our billing. The group that is coming this Wednesday is being highly looked at by our district because of their cost and reputation. On the 2nd and 4th Thursday of this month the fire side is doing Auto Extrication. EMS members are encouraged to go to one of those sessions to train along side the fire department. This should be some very worthwhile training. Our 4th Tuesday will be a rig detailing night and last cookout. See you all next week. Dave

Members Helping Members

Here is the story, Keith was washing his vehicle in the washbay when a fire call came out for a Mutual to Clinton for a house fire. Bruce took his on call for the ambulance so Keith could go to the fire call. After Bruce finished washing his own car, he took it upon himself to wash Keith's truck. That is one OUTSTANDING member who helps another. Great Job Bruce. Keep up the good work.

Daytime EMT Duties

You guys, this has been brought to my attention again by the same individuals. Some of you are not doing your chores according to those same people that tell me that they are coming down the day after and picking up after you. Well, here it is, I will be monitoring this more closely with the help of my fellow officers. Everyone who takes call during the day and is underlined to do the chores must do the chores as directed by the Fulton Fire Department. If you do not want to do the chores, then, you will not be assigned to do day call and be paid as the daytime EMT. Those who will do the chores will be given the shifts. Now, lets make no mistake about this. The Daytime EMT who is being paid MUSTt do a truck check and station duties as assigned in the daily rig check book. I have been lax on the time that this is too be done. Daytime chores will need to be done by noon. EMS Officers will be coming down to the station to check to see that the chores have been done. Overall, we are all responsible to keep our station clean, that includes the fire side vs just EMS. It does not take much to mop the floors, clean the bathrooms, sweep the truck bays, or clean and check the trucks. Bottom line, lets just do the job that your are assigned and do it without complaint. - Any questions, please, please direct them to me. - Dave Rogis EMT-P / EMS Coordinator FFPD
