What Jumpbag do you carry in your POV?!?!?

DScottHewitt · 09-30-2009, 00:32

I got my bag from Galls. Don't see it on their website now. Has 4x4s, roller gauze, band-aids, et cetera.....

miked36258 · 09-30-2009, 21:37

gloves and cpr mask only

For use on other people? Nothing. Now my Jeep does have a survival type kit that is pretty well stocked, mainly because I take it out for 2-3 days at a time in the middle of nowhere, but I don't stop for wrecks, and if someone needs help, that's why I carry a cellphone

Same here. I've got my own survival/blow-out kit for me and anybody else with me but other than that I don't have anything!

By the time I put my turn out gear bag, SCBA Mask and rope bag in my single cab truck there is just enough room for me to get in it, no room for another bag but it is a good idea though.

Our department all gear stays at the station, except for chief officers. Everyone else goes to the station and responds by apparatus to ALL calls. And yes, I really HAVE had to drive by a worker to get to the station.....

In our EMS Council, we are covered as EMS providers if we stop to help at ANY scene within the region. They set it up that way because our Fire Training Captain and our Training Lieutenant in the County are Medics and our EMS training Captain is an EMTB. They drive County vehicles that are equipped within State guidelines for their level of training. The best solution arrived at by the Council was just to say ANY EMS provider from the Council is covered to provide assistance at a sceene ANYWHERE in the Region. {Six counties and six cities.} The caveat is that a CSEMS Region Agency MUST be dispatched for the call. I would be calling before I left the vehicle, or making sure some bystanders were. The other restriction is that the PROVIDER must be serving with good satanding with a CSEMS Region Agency, too.

Otherwise, in Virginia, we are only able to deliver BLS and Basic First Aid care.

I know of several dept's. that work this way, our big problem is during the day, I am blessed with a job that allows me to leave work to answer calls but I don't always have the time it takes to go to the station and ride a truck, I would be gone much longer from work and that might get old to them, don't want to push my luck if you know what I mean.

Here lately it seems that only a few members will show up for day calls, all our upper officers have day jobs and day time calls are slim picking when it comes to getting any help.

StatPack is what I carry. I like it alot

Medic3166 · 10-04-2009, 21:27

I think mine is a Dyna-Med bag, in subdued black. Nice small size, and carries pretty much anything the bigger bags carry, with the exception of an O2 tank.

At my dept , I allow all members to carry there turn out gear with them . Some of our guys respond pov . I do not have a jumbbag in my pov cause always roll one of our trucks to any call we have , i live about 2 miles from the station . I leave all my gear at the station, during the day only myself and 2 others answer the calls . Most of our members work out of the area , If it is a working fire we have 2 other depts that will back us up , one is about 8 miles from our station.

We've always had it set up for members to respond to the station so we don't end up with an engine rolling out with just a DPO and then getting to the scene and NO ONE is there. Just the way we decided to do it.

sphillips45 · 10-11-2009, 09:51

We have done it that way for the last 17 yrs and we have never had a problem.

Oh, not criticizing your company at all. Every agency has things they do differently from someone else.

I have a small one that just carries the basics, pocket mask and gloves and enough supplies to handle a major bleed or airway problem on a single patient... but usually I have a tactical tailor one in there also but it goes with me to work, so always have lots of supplies.

BrianJ786 · 11-25-2009, 20:08

Gloves and CPR mask. I keep a small personal first aid kit that's there for myself.

3rdgen40 · 12-01-2009, 23:48

I carry a LA Rescue first responder bag fully stocked with basic BLS gear, plus a D cylinder O2.This is standard equipement for our rural VFD.
