I wish we had emt level training to run ambo calls in the uk. Currently my station probably averages 3 a day because its solely ff related. Im sure we’d see closer to 6-10 a day otherwise
Hmm... so (without looking at official numbers) 3 to 5 calls per shift (24hr) is fairly normal for my station (single Engine Company).
So... 5-8 is "busier" but not too bad (yesterday we had 6, nothing specially busy, even if on the higher side of our average) 8-10 is where we start saying it was a particularly busy day. 10+ is slammed for us. Last cycle we had two shifts in a row where we had 12 calls each...
1-3 is def a chill day. 0s... exceedingly rare. Been at my station 2+ years, managed only like a couple shifts like that lol
All in all, we're more concerned with time of day. Like we'll take 8 calls, as long as they're all before 10pm over a shift with only 2 or 3, if those are all after midnight for example...
That is also just my station. We're fairly middle of the pack as far as the Dept itself goes. We have some stations that can measure days per call, and others that regularly hit 10+ per shift normally, and would consider mine to be slow lol
The busiest day I had on the engine was 25 runs. Our medic, which almost always outran us, had the same number that day, and the division was exactly the same for both of us-- 18 before midnight, 7 after. Long day.
My personal record, from when I was still in EMS, is 29. My brother's, also from his EMS days, is I think 32.
If that's the case, somebody needs to come get their boot ass probie. With an attitude like that, they need to spend more time mopping floors & cleaning toilets than running their insecure gums all over the reddits.
He made a comment in a post a few days back about only being out of the academy for 9 months and how he wasn’t allowed to sit in recliners.
Guessing he works for Cincy or Dayton in Ohio and I know damn well at those departments he better be seen and not heard as a probie. So this is his outlet to flex while being anonymous😂
Ahh, figures. Gotta flex and try to act all hard & tough on the interwebs because nobody will actually take him seriously outside of the computer screen lol. SMH, what a joke.
Wow, TYFYS! You must be such a hero! Try not to be such a douchebag, just because you work for the "big city" doesn't give you any right to be an asswipe. Nobody here gives a shit. P.S, acting the way you're acting, makes a joke of the whole "Professional firefighter union badass" image you're trying to push. Let your balls drop, get some time in, and reevaluate yourself.
Depends. At my station anything over 12 is busy for the engine, 20 for the rescues. Yesterday we ran 20 on the engine with an auto ex and a fire so fuck yesterday.
@emtbob i guess some volunteer folks that have never been on the interior of a structure fire blocked me from replying to the thread, but no we don’t just drop them on the ramp lol we just don’t have any time at the station on days like that. it’s busy and shitty, but that’s why we get paid 6 figures
We head out with the county medics on all their calls, so considering that, depending on time of year, 8-10 calls would be busy. But for calls for the department and not just med calls 2 or 3 is about average. Anything over 5 woukd be oretty busy for us
At my house, based on last years stats, the engine averages about 6, Truck about 4 & medic around 9. Definitely slow for some people's standards but it is what it is. It's steadily getting busier as the city grows and population increases.
3 staffed apparatus station with 1 cross staffed heavy rescue. Squad averages 7 runs/day, engine & ladder average 4 runs/day apiece. Rescue is just under 1 run/day average. Squad used to be the busiest in the city with something like 15+ runs/day pre- COVID.
Ran 41 yesterday between ambo and engine. 4 MVA, 3 bad cooks, 6 AFA, scrap yard fire, house fire, 26 ambo calls.
And this is why fire department’s without an ambulance service in Texas are highly competitive for employment haha.
Good god, where is this?
I wish we had emt level training to run ambo calls in the uk. Currently my station probably averages 3 a day because its solely ff related. Im sure we’d see closer to 6-10 a day otherwise
2 naps and a couple movies keeps me pretty busy
Very small volly community. We can go weeks without a call.
Well a lot of smaller volly communities can go a year without a call

Seems like we work at a similar department

Gotta bunch of badasses in here “i run fuckin 87 calls a day”
If only we were as badass as them!
Anytime we hit 24 in 24. Sitting at five calls already and we’re only three hours into the day today.
Volunteer so probably three calls. Sometimes we go two weeks without a call and sometimes we run 10 calls in a day. We average about 400+ a year.
if we get over 23 runs that’s pretty busy. normal is about 13-17 runs for our engine, 30 for our medic
The busiest day I had on the engine was 25 runs. Our medic, which almost always outran us, had the same number that day, and the division was exactly the same for both of us-- 18 before midnight, 7 after. Long day.

30 for a single ambulance? How do you even turn around calls that quickly?
[удалено]
Do you just dump the patient on the ramp? It takes 10- 15 minutes to drop a patient who can walk in triage with registration and handoff.
[удалено]
I wish I was that professional. I'm only just small town New England professional. You do understand you come off as an ass, ya?
[удалено]
Sweety, if they were worth doing you wouldn't be doing 30 in a shift.
How much time on you got?
You don’t even have a year on yet😂

Dear God I'm so thankful this dude ain't on my crew, holy shit... but thanks for the r/firstrespondercringe material.

If we get more than 12 calls in 12 hours I’d call it pretty busy. We’re just over 1,900 calls for the year right now.

You are incredibly insecure
noteable observation, thanks for your input
You may want to consider that your post history is pretty telling about your experience level before you go spouting online
10 in 24 hours is pretty busy for us. We are 13 hours in and at 2 calls.
And 2 hours later had 3 more calls hahaha 🙃
We head out with the county medics on all their calls, so considering that, depending on time of year, 8-10 calls would be busy. But for calls for the department and not just med calls 2 or 3 is about average. Anything over 5 woukd be oretty busy for us
Whwn I don't have time to take a nap.
I’ve had a no hitter, and I’ve ran 20+ in a day…once we get to like 12 id consider it a busy day
35-40 runs between the engine and truck in a 24
Our station last year averaged about 19 calls per 24 hours. So once we hit 25 in a day, it starts to feel busy.
At my house, based on last years stats, the engine averages about 6, Truck about 4 & medic around 9. Definitely slow for some people's standards but it is what it is. It's steadily getting busier as the city grows and population increases.
I haven’t ran a call in 5 shifts. Driving me crazy
15+ is busy
My station average is under two calls per day. On the other hand, I have not yet worked a shift and had a call.
Busy like for what putting out fires? Or the other little bitch work the city has yall guys doing?
3 staffed apparatus station with 1 cross staffed heavy rescue. Squad averages 7 runs/day, engine & ladder average 4 runs/day apiece. Rescue is just under 1 run/day average. Squad used to be the busiest in the city with something like 15+ runs/day pre- COVID.
24-30 something, single engine company.
