DH and DS#2 are both active in the volunteer fire department and ambulance association.

A couple of nights ago DS#2 woke us up about 11:00 p.m. wanting to know if he could go to an ambulance call. DH had heard the call and knew from what was and wasn't said that it was either a suicide or domestic violence, so he said no.

I just found out today that it was an attempted suicide and was a kid that just graduated with DD#1 this past summer and a friend that DS#2 attended Vo-tech with. So it is someone he knows well. I am so glad that DH told him no.

I know he wants to be a paramedic but to have your first "heavy-duty" call be an attempted suicide and be someone you're friends with would have been extremely traumatic.
