While I am always appreciative of the hard work and dedication of first responders, I wish I could…read moresay that I personally had a better experience with this particular team. My son's pediatrician had contacted them for medical treatment and transportation to Children's Hospital after arranging for his admission with them along with the prior authorization from the insurance company. When they arrived at first everything seemed to be fine. Then when he stepped out of the room after updating everyone on the treatments he had given him in the office, things changed. I was approached by two of the men on the crew who began to try and convince me to send my son to Sharp Grossmont Hospital instead. I can only assume that this was because it was next to the medical center and not miles away, thus making it much easier for them and hey who the hell cares if the medical service there is substandard anyway?? It's not like it's their loved one. It's really galling to me that they didn't even have the balls to make this obnoxious play in front of the doctor. After plying me with the hard sell, I said that I was taking the advice of his respected doctor who is not affiliated with that low rated hospital that is being sued for violating patients rights by video taping them in surgical suites.. Did I appreciate the attempt to hijack carefully made plans for my son's medical treatment? Definitely not. I do appreciate that he was still given the care he needed though in the end.

It's a free course the city of La Mesa hosts for children on safety. As part of the program they get to tour a fire station and learn about fire safety. My son especially enjoyed this part of the program. When we go to visit my dad back east he gets to ride in his buddies fire truck and use the siren, which is a big thrill for kids. I think this program was better though because they taught the kids all about what to do in an actual emergency. They covered how to develop a plan for at home, choosing a meeting place for emergencies, what to say when calling 911, how to use a fire extinguisher, ect. It was a great afternoon for the kids. They also showed them some of the fire training equipment, which was very cool. And of course they got to tour the station and look at the engines.

They arrived in mere minutes and were quick to tend to me, asking me all the relevant questions, checked my vitals and gently prepared me for the trip to ER. They gave me nauseau medication and loaded me up in the ambulance quickly but with great care. On the ride to the ER, they did a chest CT scan to make sure all was good and got me to Pomerado Medical Center lightning fast. I am so thankful for these awesome guys and impressed by their professionalism and humor. They cracked jokes with me a few times and made me smile so I appreciated their kind disposition. I don't remember my last ambulance ride being so warm and fuzzy so this was a welcome change. Lastly, confession: My female co-workers love us some Firefighters/Firefighter EMTs so in a way, this whole incident was a dream come true for all of us. LOL!! I even joked with one of the EMTs that they were the only reason all the ladies came down to see what was going on was; that the team was easy on the eyes and that was the most excitement they were gonna have all week. HA! Can't say I blame them. He replied "Awwww, and we're the B Squad". Nope, definitely not the B squad! Thank you for all you do!

At many fire departments across the country (not all, but many), you can drop in and ask if they have fire department t-shirts for sale. Each shift typically has their own variety of shirts for sale. We dropped in to Station 4 based on a recommendation from a local firefighter that we ran into at our hotel. They some really nice fire department t-shirts that you can purchase. Nice shirts and friendly firefighters. After buying our shirts we went to a restaurant near by and while having dinner we got to see the crew from station 4 in action at a call right across the street from our restaurant. Remember these are the people that are running towards danger that everyone else is running away from. Thanks for the shirts, and thanks for your service Station 4.

I want to say thank you to the "Family" working that day that showed us around their kitchen, training room, exercise room, and their living quarters. It was great. Kim, especially, was very kind. The kids got to don a helmet and shoot at cones with the water hose from the truck. And if that wasn't great enough ... so did some of us Moms. We loved learning about the district, the types of calls, and especially about life at the station for the fire fighters. Thank you for welcoming us! Keep up the good work!
