Radios
Hey everyone I currently work for a small EMS service (there’s a total of 12 of us) and we don’t have enough radios to go around. My boss is trying to get ahold of management to get a grant to buy some new radios but that’s going to be awhile before we get them. On June 1st we will be opening a new station (so now there will be a total of 15 of us 3 at station 1 and 2 at station 2). I am an AEMT so I will be the boss when I go up to station 2 since I’ll be with an EMT and I’m wanting to make sure I have a radio to make contact with dispatch. The problem is I’m fairly new so I don’t have a radio. My boss told me if I buy one he would pay for it to get programmed to our frequency but that’s expensive and I don’t want to risk buying a broken one. I’m wondering if there’s a grant out there that will pay for a radio for me? What do you guys think I should do?
