Hello All,
My name's Steve and I am a respiratory therapist by profession and a volunteer firefighter/Intermediate EMT currently stuck in the wasteland that is Indiana. I am trying to figure out where to go once my fiancee graduates from college in May, and I was hoping some of you all might have some suggestions for me:
Some of the stipulations would be:
1. A dive team that isn't run exclusively by the state police and/or DNR (as is the case here in IN- they take 2-4 hrs to show up and then they complain about never finding a live one; the one save we have had in recent years was from another firefighter and I arrived on the scene and pulled a woman from a submerged car- actually he got her out and I just help tow her to shore); this criterion is why I posted on here
2. A 4 year college nearby/within decent driving distance (30-40 minutes) (I need to finish my degree)
3. Volunteer fire department and/or ambulance service
4. Not going to cost an arm and a leg to live (I would be great to work with an awesome dive team and have beautiful water to dive in, but if it's gonna cost $600+ a month just for rent it's not feasible.)
Anybody have any suggestions? I'd like to stay away from really big cities (although having one within driving distance wouldn't be bad). I would appreciate any assistance or suggestions that you might have. My fiancee and I have had a hard time finding nice places to move too.
