Just a quick note about the agencies that frequently respond on our runs. I'll probably use the acronyms more often than typing the whole thing out, so to alleviate some confusion (especially for those outside the US or civilians that might not get it...) here is a list:
FEMS - Fairview Emergency Medical Services - my agency
FFD - Fairview (City) Fire Department
FCFD - Fairview County Fire Department
FPD - Fairview Police Department
FCSO - Fairview County Sheriff's Office
SHP - State Highway Patrol
We also have other adjacent municipalities that respond with us on occasion, and I'll do my best to follow the same format:
FD - Fire Department (Typically a city)
CFD - County Fire Department
PD - Police Department
SO - Sheriff's Office
SD - Sheriff's Department
That being said, I am fortunate to respond with a great group. Our firemen come with us on almost every call, and our cops are typically very good about doing everything they can to help us when we need it.
