What's a "Hazbulance?"

A couple of years ago I was assigned to a medic crew out of a station known for being a retirement station. I had just finished three years as the EMS Chief and was looking forward to only running a medic crew once a week. The new EMS Chief assigned me a driver. Ralph. Ralph had been the EMS Chief 5 years prior. My friends Chris and Matt began poking fun at me and calling my medic crew the "Has Been Ambulance" It stuck and I spent the year on Hazbulance 14. Now being the "old sage" of EMS I have made little effort to lose this term of endearment. Most of the folks that have been around a while know what it means and the new kids always ask. So, that's a Hazbulance! More blogs soon... Jon.
