Ok, Thank you

Maybe one of you can help me out. The article is a bit confusing, is the person that was arrested the missing mans brother in law?

I do agree with what you are saying, I was simply making a comment on that quote. I ask you this though, how is a police officer running into a house fire any different then a firefighter running into a hostage situation? Also, a police officer running into a house fire may in turn endanger the lives of the firefighters. If god forbid something happened to the officer, its the firefighter that are gonna be trying to get him/her out. Like I said, I do agree with what your saying, just trying to elaborate on both sides of things.

Where do you get that FD or EMS think they can do a better job then the police? With that being said, maybe the police should stop "thinking they can do a better job" then the FD and not run into any buildings that are on fire.

when does TC call out from Poughkeepsie to Millbrook? last I checked it was on the off hours that they are NOT contracted to be out there. There is no obligation to sit out there during times the contract doesn't specify.

They have gone to the Arlington/City line before. Also, my reply before was not saying that the Town Ambulance would be running to the City of Poughkeepsie. It was in regards to the fact that just because MLSS covers the Village of Wappingers doesnt mean it makes more sense because it is a contracted unit which means it has nothing to do with the City of Poughkeepsie.

They have gone all the way in East Fishkill before.

I don't need a lesson on the Town contract, Trust me. Other then that, the Village of Wappingers/New Hamnburg unit should not be going either considering the Village and New Hamburg are paying for that rig. As far as they town ambulance not going mutual aid, ill just say I dont know where you get your information from but its very much incorrect.

I am a little confused, how does the contract make more sense then Transcare having it? they have the Town of Wappingers and Fairview or maybe im just reading your statement wrong?

Its been said on Dutchess County Response a few times responding from Newburgh-Beacon bridge to Wappingers or New Hamburg. I am not saying it happens everyday, but it does happen.

I never said it was out of context to backfill from the bridge. It is a hell of a response to an emergency in the far end of New Hamburg from the bridge though.

Then thats a different story, if they are only contracted for one then it doesn't matter where the second comes from as long as the first is in the village or New Hamburg. I was just simply stating that there are not two ambulances in the Village.

All I am saying is dont tell me there are two units when you constantly hear then call out from the Newburgh-Beacon bridge. Its all well and good that they backfill, but backfilling when one unit goes out does not imply there is a second unit. Also, this is not a personal issue, its an issue of saying they have two units there when the response from the Newburgh-Beacon bridge clearly shows they do not. I am in no way putting down MLSS, I am simply putting down your statement because its not true.

But when two calls drop back to back and the second unit responds from the Newburgh-Beacon bridge, then you can't tell me they have two units in the village.

Not for nothing, but it just seems like he would rather see Transcare in the City instead of MLSS? I mean if thats the case, then where is the harm in what he said?
