OK, just one, but I will be calling this out in the airport later today.
If you are reading this it means that UK Medic Mark Glencorse is on a plane from London to San Francisco to begin the Project, our Trans-Atlantic Paramedic Exchange.
In case you were wondering how this all started, you can catch up by clicking on the tag “the Project” over in the right hand sidebar.
This is my last reminder to follow us on Twitter, @ukmedic999 and @thehappymedic, as well as the flickr feed and youtube channel. Mark’s first update will be tonight, so make sure you’re subscribed to the channel.
The action starts tomorrow morning with a meeting with Chief of Department Joanne Hayes-White, EMS Chief Pete Howes and PIO Lt Mindy Talmadge, who will no doubt be glad I’m not calling and emailing multiple times a day now that this has started.
When we finish at Headquarters, we’ll be off on a walking tour of some of the high points of the history of the SFFD. Many of these can be found in a variety of tour books and at the SFFD Museum, but when I took some of my early days in the City wandering around I found some specific things I find fascinating. I’m working on a book specifically for visiting Firefighters to enjoy these places, but as you’ve been reading on this blog, I’ve been a bit busy.
That should wear him out so he’ll sleep well and be ready for our first shift on the ambulance on Tuesday.
Like the Angry Captain used to say when the lights went down at the movies,
Here we go.
