Although the station looks nice and is new the city screwed up. They designed this station when they did not use extended cab Ambulances. However, construction began when they started to use the longer Amnulances and did not update the design. So instead of fitting 2 Ambulances in each bay only one fits. They are also running more Ambulances then the station was designed for.

Here's a thought, if the noise bothers you so much, maybe don't live in the most populated city in the country?

So the town is actually investigating options for EMS.  They should be commended for that!  Most towns rely on the provider, whether VAC, VFD, commercial, mixed, or whatever, and provide no insight or guidance whatsoever.  Let's face it, any municipal service should have oversight, even EMS.
 

If the drones don't affect our operations, then why would we care? If your firefighters are distracted from the actual firefighting effort, you've got real issues. It's 2015, we're all on camera at all times, get used to it and be a professional- At All Times! If the drone poses a true hazard, then it should be addressed. I can assure you that if our firefighters thought spraying a drone was more important than putting water on the fire, they'd be on their way to being unemployed very quickly.

Why post an incident when it will become a volly vs oaid arguement. Almost every thread on this site beats a deas horse.

They think they are police officers hence why they want to keep the uniform. This will all change when they get mistaken for a real cop and get seriously hurt or killed.

I usually try not to be an online safety officer. I really don't care if I see a picture of a guy with his waist strap undone or something like that. But what's the deal with bearded firefighters wearing SCBAs ? I'm not talking about guys who forgot to shave in a day or two, I mean guys growing out full beards. I had to have seen at least four guys with full facial hair, my favorite has to be the EMS lieutenant with his Lincoln mutton chops. Come on guys, buy a razor.

Ignorance is bliss

So its a no no when vollys take pictures at a fire but its ok when paid guy do it???????? Heck there are websites that show the almighys fdny grandstanding and taking company photos at a fire. But thats ok. I have more respect for people who do the job for FREE then somone who does it for the $$$ and 3/4.

Get over it!!!! What makes him so diff then anyone who works hard to get on the list? If he scored a 95 and got 5 points as a veteran credit is he more special then the kid who got no credits and scored a 98 or a 100???
Seriously get over it

I will not elaborate what the crew did wrong on a public forum

Oh my gosh! I can't believe everyone is ignoring the point that WCR was making. Read what the article says! The PUBIC instead of PUBLIC! In a freakin' newspaper article. That's some funny stuff right there and everyone just went on auto-pilot into the same BS that drags this site down time after time.
WTF?!?!?!?!?!

Positive publicity for the fire service and this turns into a heated battle?!!!! What the Funck!!!
And who cares if you're volley or paid. You're either a fireman or you're not! You either get it or you don't!

If you are looking to make ems career go with fdny ems. You can retire with half pay after 25 years. You can also join a tda to enhance your pensiom. The health dental and vision benefits for free. There is plenty of overtime. Its a uniom job so the benfits are great. Another plus is job security. You do not have to worry if the hospital gets rid of its ems dept or worry if the private company goes out of business. Remember benefits and job security is worth a lot more then a couple of extra dollars a hour.

Or maybe, it's just because they can.

Not to be a downer, but this helmet's got 2 years left correct ?

I thought incidents involving alcohol only involved vollys. People who live in glass houses should not through stones
