Easy Killer, just a joke. I am not sure if you have met X129 but he seems to have a little sense of humor, like most of us. But good job on the CSI work. JetPhoto as always awesome shots...... When are you going to give me a Photo for Dummies class?

I know that TC has 3 vehicles, a Van, Expedition, and a Edge. The vehicles are numbered as OD1, OD2, and OD3.

Hot ain't the word.......

A lot of the recent occurences have been related to: Posttraumatic stress disorder[note 1] (PTSD) is a severe anxiety disorder that can develop after exposure to any event that results in psychological trauma.[1][2][3] This event may involve the threat of death to oneself or to someone else, or to one's own or someone else's physical, sexual, or psychological integrity,[1] overwhelming the individual's ability to cope. As an effect of psychological trauma, PTSD is less frequent and more enduring than the more commonly seen acute stress response. Diagnostic symptoms for PTSD include re-experiencing the original trauma(s) through flashbacks or nightmares, avoidance of stimuli associated with the trauma, and increased arousal—such as difficulty falling or staying asleep, anger, and hypervigilance. Formal diagnostic criteria (both DSM-IV-TR and ICD-10) require that the symptoms last more than one month and cause significant impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning.[1] It is not just soldiers coming back. Police, Fire and EMS can have this just as well... However the higher numbers are Active Guard members, or members that have returned to a normal life for us, however totally different for them. So when these soldiers come back from providing us with freedom lets give them the best!!! And that includes the Local, State, and Federal budget cuts. Services needed to help combat these issues are being cut.

Lady Liberty carries one as well.

When in doubt "Arc em". Back in the ole day you would have just got shot. I would rather catch some volts than some lead anyday.... Besides some people say it is invigorating for your nerves. One Cop had back issues and after qualifying he never had an issue again.... Better than being hit with a 40 caliber

My 2 cents... 56-55 returning from the plucking, good job guys....

Is Santa Claus a fireman??? Check this video out, I think he went through the academy. http://gma.yahoo.com/video/news-26797925/santa-pulls-man-from-burning-car-27659890.html#crsl=%252Fvideo%252Fnews-26797925%252Fsanta-pulls-man-from-burning-car-27659890.html

Yeah no ANSI vest, just the 3 inch white trim. I wonder if it is reflective?

While I totaly agree with you, the original contract that was set fourth by the previous regime guaranteed off hours coverage. The new regime knows EMS costs and operations are is not feasible for the current contract agreement. Its not really "you get what you pay for" its a matter of a town board that saw a price and was snowballed and also a operation (HVP) who thought that it could be done for the cost of peanuts. This is just a crappy agreement on all sides, everyone pays: 1 Empire/Care2/Hudson Valley Paramedics for losing on the contract. Like I said that was set fourth by the previous regime. 2 Town Residents because now they are paying their taxes for daytime services and being hard billed on the off hours. Response times, between dispatching and no units, now the call is tossed to the next on the list. Depending on what card the County pulls for that day.

Not really true either..... Not just when Pleasant Valley cant get out. It is usually for the off hours on ALS alarms when Hudson Valley does not cover. (1700-0500) There is only a couple of companies who would supply ALS coverage without a contract or for free. As for the Kingston crew on the overnights and weekends, I havent heard of them calling out, just the Mobile tone hitting minutes after the primary dispatch.
