You need to realize your title and your limits. You, I have always thought, are paid to fight…read morefires and when you have no fire I believe you need to help people in need of your help. Like rescue a kitten from a tree!! Or assist a lost child in finding his parents. What you did to me was I feel far from your job as a firefighter. I live alone very near your station. This past week it took me a couple of days to gather up enough nerve to call 911 and request an ambulance. I had been very sick from a major surgery I had a few days before. The surgery had been very difficult because it was on soft tissue and required a tube to drain fluids from inside my body. Two days before my call the fluid had turned from normal pink to brown then green! It was 4:00AM when I realized the change to green. I knew I had developed a very bad infection because not only the color had changed but it had a sickening odor. My daughter has planned to visit the day before and I had planned to ask her to take me to the ER. She canceled. I had had a similar experience many years ago and knew I came close to dying. So I decided I had to make this call for an ambulance. I am 80 yrs old and this is the first time in 80 years I have requested an ambulance. I was dressed with my purse waiting at the door. Suddenly 4 men entered my apartment full of powerful control! The smallest walked to the door of my bedroom and looked in. The others walked in different areas of the room. I was about to ask if they had a wheelchair for me but before I could they began a line of questions about my health. One took my blood pressure. One checked my heart rate! Then I was told they were not from the ambulance but they were the fire department. First they had to evaluate my need for an ambulance before they would call. I tried to explain. I had two cups of fluid - one pink and one green I was taking with me to the ER. I had a long line from my body to my lap where I held the bulb draining the fluids from me. The smallest guy told me I have no fever, my BP is normal, my heart rate is perfect! But they continue to ask personal questions even about what meds I take! I had had enough! I loudly said, "Leave my house! Leave now! Get Out!!". I believe one was about to speak with concern but the little short guy jumped in cutting him off saying, "Go! Let's Go!" I went to bed in tears. I knew I was wrong to allow this to hurt me so much. I was not going to allow them to kill me! I stopped crying and dialed 911 a SECOND TIME! I requested please just ambulance but was told "No. I had to first see the fireman"! I thought to myself "this time you can handle them"!! The door opened and I immediately asked if they were from the fire department. A very tall, very kind man said,"Yes we are but we are not the ones who were here before.". They could not have been better, more helpful towards me. The ambulance was waiting and they pushed me sitting on my walker to the elevator and to the ambulance door. There was no room for the walker so they took it back to my apartment door after the ambulance pulled away. On arrival I was taken immediately to a room and within the first two hours I had IV antibiotics of three different kinds. They could not wait for the lab to determine the name of bacteria so they were doing their best. The tubes were cut and fresh fluid was put in test tubes for the laboratory. I was taken for a CT. Finally seven hours later I was told I had a very severe wound infection. I was sent home with two oral antibiotics after having had the three IV antibiotics on arrival. They actually ordered Lyft to take me home but only after giving me a food voucher for the cafe. My weight had been 86 but in the past few days it had decreased to 81. It was such a nice feeling to know someone cares. The firemen save lives no doubt but I seriously fear they also take a few each year and I came very close to being in that group! They should not be allowed or requested to judge who needs medical help and who does not. They do not have the required knowledge to do such a thing! I pray this will change very soon. It could not be more wrong! Why do people not understand?

Thank you for your service! Our community needs and…read moreappreciates you! Stay safe out there.

This is a shout out to Medical 85. I was having severe back, chest pain and shortness of breath. My…read moreback hurt so bad I could barely move. My roommate helped me shower and dress myself and then I called 911. The Medical 85 from Station 85 came out in about 8 minutes or so. I was standing in the living room holding onto my dog's i-crate because I couldn't walk, sit down, or basically move. They were a great group of guys who knew what to do. After triage and getting me onto the transport guerney, I told them I wanted to go to Kaiser Roseville ER instead of to the Sutter Hospital in Folsom. The ride was longer, but the Roseville ER has all of my records. The EMT placed an IV in my forearm while we were on the road. Not an easy task. I was delivered to Roseville ER in fair condition. BP, O2, and pain had been addressed by the time we got there. First rate 911 ER response team.

First of all this is not an issue with the people at the fire department who are fighting fires -…read morethis issue is specifically with their building and planning department in the hope that they can get their act together. We were doing an almost final inspection for a newly built home - all the sheet rock etc. is done, painted and everything is done. At this stage, they suddenly come back and say - you need a sprinkler under the stairs. Really - how long these people have been doing inspections - for the life of me, I can't fathom why they would not catch this in the very early construction phase when it is easy to install things in the house frame. And after going through just one construction, even I would be asking that question about sprinkler under the stairs. I would be asking questions - is it a closed stairs or open stairs during initial inspection itself and advising of the requirements. So are the guys incompetent or what? And they would not budge even though it was their mistake. So now we were left with no choice but to humor them and install something that is visible at a considerable expense, then take it out. Then we had to submit "as built" plans and they sat on them until I called them (when I called, they were approved the same day). So what was the point of all this? Are these people serving their community as they are supposed to be? Basically this snafu cost us a month of delay in getting the house completed. Don't get me wrong - I understand that NFPA standards are for the safety of the people/homes etc. and I am all for following the regulations but don't penalize the homeowner for the incompetence of the original inspector - particularly when the fix is not trivial and is a hack (in this case - the sprinkler head was not even on the loop and was visible eyesore). The other gripe that I have is that all the fire sprinkler heads are close to where light fixtures might get installed. We had not installed our chandelier to allow construction guys to freely move their ladders. They were checking to see if the Chandelier will interfere with the sprinkler flow. I fail to see the point again - if there is so much concern about such things, these things should be raised at initial install - not when the house is final. Fortunately, the chandelier was fine - but if it was not, I was not going to donate a $2,500 chandelier just because the initial inspector was incompetent. And then at the final inspection there was a concern that a vent that was 20ft away from the neighboring property might let some flames come through due to a fire at the neighboring property. While it is a valid concern - my question is why is this issue being raised at final inspection when the house is completed and there is no real remedy?
