The dept I work for in N LA is still responding to EMS calls but we are not making patient contact if we can help it. We do not run an ambulance service and run all EMS calls with a parish wide EMS system (it is not Acadian or med express this is run by the parish). If we do have a call where our unit gets there before EMS gets there, one person will dress out in gown, gloves, goggles, and mask and then go make patient contact. But, if we can avoid patient contact, our admin does not want us making any patient contact.

Do you have any interesting stories? Fire related or from EMS calls, either one.
