Currently serving Jasper County Fire Rescue in south Carolina along with Charleston County EMS.
Since 9-11 things have changed when responding to an incident such as this we have to be prepared for secondary devices that are designed to take out the rescuer. There are many issues to this and it is not a simple answer. My department send the cops in first to investigate and once it is deemed moderately safe Then we proceed to rescue the victims but what good are we if we becomes victims.

From a fire report standing this is a bit complexing. The structure is not on fire, equipment is not on fire. The pot holder is not debris so it could be labeled as cooking material. The only listing that we could do is to list it as other and report it in the narrative of the fire report.
Share Answer: 
Typically one of each but some systems have two paramedics on a unit. I personally disagree with two medics unless it is a major incident due to it being a wasted resource of a medic driving. Some systems use 3 medics on a unit. Some private ambulance companies have a medic and a uncertified driver. But usually a Medic and EMT.

Yes you can it is against the law to prevent a reserve from doing their reserve time.
Share Answer: 
We deal with it by talking about it with each other. I can speak with my sons about it since they are Deputy Sheriffs and see the things I see. I can talk about some of the things with my wife but she can only handle so much. Right now are dept is dealing with the emotional repercussions of one of our guys is dying from cancer that he and so many others from working on the debris pile from the World Trade Centers where they were exposed to cancer causing agents. We all are helping as much as possible but he has two young children and you can't help but think it could be you. But chiefly it is by talking and venting with each other's. It is a very exciting but stressful career that involves helping those that are suffering from disasters from either fire, illness and the such so you need to be tough skinned to survive.
