Guest woodyallen Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Volunteer EMT and paid dispatcher in NYC, looking to move into law enforcement soon. It makes me feel better knowing that there are others in public safety that share this desire, I usually have a hard time reconciling ABDL with this hard charging adrenaline junkie stuff Link to comment

Zander Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 I guess the volunteering as EMT's / Firefighters / whatever is an American thing? Probably due to historical and geographical reasons - i.e. as you have small towns in rural places and so on. Link to comment

LilFozzyJ5 Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 (edited) Just found this thread, i dont know if i qualify, while i served in the royal airforce i volunteered for royal airforce mountain rescue duties and did it for four years. Originally created during world war two to rescue downed aircraft crews on both sides from the moutainous areas of the united ki gdom. While this remains the primary role of the teams most often we are called out for civilians lost or injured on the mountains. As part of my duties i was trained at ambulance technician level of first aid. This enabled me to be a first aider in every job since. Oh yeah when my older brother left the service, he became a firefighter and is now a watch officer P.s. there is two chaps at my current work site who are volunteer emergency first responders, they have estate cars with blues and twos and all the kit. They get called out if the ambulance services doesnt think it can get an ambulance there in time. By day they carry out their normal jobs. Edited September 18, 2015 by LilFozzyJ5 Link to comment
