First week as a EMS/Fire Fighting Newbie!

First week is in the books!

Last tuesday I got to do some extrication training with the department.  It was interesting.  We had a dummy with a t-post impalement through the abdomen that protruded through the windshield and the seat.  Definitely was a challenge to remove the dummy while maintaining c-spine integrity and without moving the t-post around.  Nothing starts a week off better then cutting apart some cars.

Yesterday I had my first day of Fire Academy, and I learned a ton about building construction and fire behavior.

This week I have a physical for the department, and a physical test and drug screen for the county.

So, I guess that is it for today!
