What a terrific idea. Let's compare an EMS operation with fire ops

How about we have one of your loved ones (Mum? Kids?) in the back of a non-aircon 139 on a 35C day on a 1 hour transit to a Trauma Centre and see how quickly you change your mind

Yes, I've spent many a 10 hour day throwing water at the ground, usually (always!) solo, 90% of the time with the door off, 10% door on & aircon on. I prefer the door off, and it doesn't compare to EMS ops, thankyouverymuch.
