A firefighter or EMT that goes to other fire department or squad's calls, either to their building or to their scene to watch and\or help out the other department. Often also referred to as a whacker.
State Trooper: Who's that guy that's just standing over there watching everything?
Fire Chief: Oh he's okay, he's harmless. That's our Squirrel Boy, he belongs to Station 46 but he comes to our calls a lot.

1. An EMT that doesn't do patient care in the back of the rig. Often found at medical transport companies but sometimes find their way onto a squad, they will show up for their shift incredibly early so as to beat their partner to the dispatch office and be the first one to take the keys. Will proceed to hold a death grip on those keys until the end of the shift, not letting them out of their sight for a single second. Have selective hearing of such words as "it's my turn to drive now", "it's your turn to be in the back" or "How about we switch places on this run?". Will often use such phrases as "Dispatch told me not to let you drive", "I was in the back all day yesterday" or the ever popular "The senior man always drives the rig."
2. What stupid people call EMTs and Paramedics, especially those employed in medical transport.

1. EMT1: Hey, who's your partner today?
EMT2: (Looks at paper) Ummm, I've got Vicky today.
EMT1: (laughs) Have fun, I had her yesterday, she is such an ambulance driver.
EMT2: Awww, damn it!
2. Stupid Girl: So tell me about yourself, what do you do for a living?
EMT Guy: I work for ABC Medical Transport.
Stupid Girl: Oh, like one of those ambulance drivers I see at the hospital?
EMT Guy: No, genius, I'm an EMT, an Emergency Medical Technichan. Working at ABC is just a job until I finish paramedic school and get a real job.
Stupid Girl: Para what?
EMT Guy: Nevermind!

A large breed dog such as a German Shepherd, Rottweiler, Doberman, Pit Bull, etc. that will foil an attempt to burglarize your house by making a chew toy out of said burglar. Ninety Nine times out of a hundred, the sight and sound of the four legged alarm system on the other side of the door would be more than enough to deter a potential burglar into looking elsewhere for an easy target. The four legged alarm system can also double as a car alarm as well personal protection against muggers and\or rapists while walking alone in the dark. Highly effective when the four legged alarm system is given a junkyard dog name such as "Scraps" or "Tiny".
I live in a crummy neighborhood but I've never been robbed since I've been here, because I have a four legged alarm system, a 130 pound German Shepherd that barks and growls fiercely at anyone with dark skin that walks by!

A skeletal thin, dirty old man that hangs out in seedy dive bars that are frequented by others like him. Chain smoking often accompanies the heavy drinking, more than likely cheap generic cigarettes purchased by the carton. Money saved on cigarettes allows for more money to be spent on booze. The booze hound can easily be spotted by his weathered face, wrinkled skin and dirty clothes permanently stained with the smell of old sweat. He looks like he could be the town drunk, because he probably is. The booze hound will smell like booze even when he isn't drinking because he is so soaked with booze internally that the smell of alcohol permeates from his pores.
When the Clarksburg Inn burned down, the regulars, a.k.a the old booze hounds, had to find somewhere else to go.

The radio frequency by which Fire, EMS and local police are dispatched and operate on. Most often run by the county to cover Fire, EMS and police dispatch on a county wide system. Named the Whacker Radio because a Whacker will listen to these broadcasts on his\her scanner or two way radio, often at a volume where everyone around them can hear every word.
(Inside a medical transport ambulance)
EMT1: What the hell is that noise?
EMT2: That's the county radio.
EMT1: The Whacker Radio? Why the hell do we need that on?
EMT2: Because I'm listening to it.
EMT1: (sigh) You're one of those damn Whackers aren't you?
EMT2: Damn right, I take that as a compliment!

Rapidly flashing or rotating blue, red, white, amber or green (depedning on the state) halogen, strobe or L.E.D lights found on the vehicles of volunteer fire fighters and EMTs to be used in responding to the scene or the squad building\firehouse. Most states refer to them as "courtesy lights" which means the volunteer is asking traffic to pull over to let him by but they are not required to by law. In some states, volunteers responding in their personal vehicles are supposed to be given the same right of way as an Emergency Vehicle. Some volunteers don't use them (such as those that live close to the building) and some have just one, placed in the center of the dashboard or windshield. A volunteer who is considered a whacker may have half a dozen or more of these flashing and rotating lights. Hence the courtesy light became known as Whacker Lights.
(Brightly lit vehicle with flashing blue lights flys by as two men stand outside on the sidewalk)
Neighbor1: What the hell was that?!
Neighbor2: That was John from 106, he's with the fire department. He's got a dozen and half of those Whacker Lights on his pickup.
Neighbor1: Fuck, that's bright!

EMT, Paramedic and Firefighter speak for requesting dispatch send a medevac helicopter to the scene right away.
When we got on scene of the MVA yesterday, it looked really bad. The patient was heavily entrapped, the fire department started extrication and called county to have them fly the bird.
