i like it i can now find post that i might have missed GReat JOB

I just remember when i was young around 5-16 years old hearing the pager go off in my dads room in the middle of the night or day and running down stairs to get in to the chief car with him to go on call playing with the lights and siren all the way to the call. Some good ones and some BS call but just doing that made me feeling like i was someone importain and helping out made all the differents to me. Now that i am older and able to do all of this on my own it feels so good to get out and help out at the firehouse and then go to the ambulance corp to go on ambulance calls to help people in need. Like (Remember585) said it comes to you by family my family grew up around it you become attached to it and when you can join you know most of what is needs to be done. I don't know where my life would be right now if i did not join the emergency service i am the Fire service and the EMS service at this time and i am in school for the criminal justice sevice at this time. All three emergency service is the best way to go. Feel proud for what you do cause you are the one that makes all the difference in the world we live in today. Stay safe every one and God Bless You.!!!!

i agree with out this site i would have not been as good in trainnig and protecting my self from mistake or good thing have done before this site is like history with out the info histroy will repeat it self. LEARN IT< LIVE IT < LOVE IT Thank you so much seth for your time on running this site

WHY NOT CHECK FOR A PULSE AND PULSE and try some CPR I am never going to detroit if that is the EMS Crew out their on the fields i could be walking down the road and they would say that i am dead that is scary EMS work their

DOES ANY ONE KNOW IF THERE WILL BE A EMT CLASS IN THE PEEKSKILL TO CROTON AREA I AM LOOKING FOR A CLASS THAT ENDS AFTER THE MID OF APRIL SO I AM QUALIFILED TO TAKE THE WRITEN TEST IF U HEAR ANY KEEP IT POSTED THANKS

looks really goood keep up the good work there

i like it they are so cool

My thoughts and prayers go out to The Arena Family May Jimmyboy now Rest in Peace! He will be in our heart forever

you can always join a local ambulance corp to if needed to take the class. That is where you will get hands on trainning and learn more to help you pass your EMT. (That is my choice on how i did things) on the fire house side i dont know how that works with the agency code sorry

it is covered by Verplanck That side is Verplancks out to lens cove and the other side of the road to the Cementry is Buchanan. I belive the fire bagade is worker that have other job in the plant. That is why are truck are green 1 trips to indian point lol

I WAS HOME SICK THAT DAY AND I REMEMBER MY MOTHER COMEING IN TO MY ROOM AFTER THE FIRST PLANE HIT AND WAKING ME UP SO I CAN GET READY TO GO TO THE DOCTORS AS I CAME DOWN STAIRS AND LOOKED AT THE Tv I SAW THE SECOND PLANE HIT AT FIRST I THOUGH IT WAS A REPLAY OF THE FRIST PLANE THEN I SAW THE SECOND TOWER ALL REAY ON FIRE. AT THE DOCTOR I HAVE BEEN WATCHING THE TV FOR A GOOD 2 HOURS. ALL I COULD THINK HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN IN AMERICA. GOD BLESS AMERICA STAY SAFE EVERY ONE AND REMEMBER THE BRAVE ONES THAT GIVE THEIR LIKE TO HELP OTHERS 4 YEARS LATER AND STILL NOT FORGOTON 9-11-01 A DAY WE WILL NEVER FORGET

( Found this when i was searching the internet though i would share it all with you) I wish you could see the sadness of a business man as his livelihood goes up in flames or that family returning home, only to find their house and belongings damaged or destroyed. I wish you could know what it is to search a burning bedroom for trapped children, flames rolling above your head, your palms and knees burning as you crawl, the floor sagging under your weight as the kitchen beneath you burns. I wish you could comprehend a wife's horror at 3 A.M. as I check her husband of forty years for a pulse and find none. I start CPR anyway, hoping against hope to bring him back, knowing intuitively it is too late. But wanting his wife and family to know everything possible was done. I wish you could know the unique smell of burning insulation, the taste of soot-filled mucus, the feeling of intense heat through your turnout gear, the sound of flames crackling, and the eeriness of being able to see absolutely nothing in dense smoke--"sensations that I have become too familiar with." I wish you could understand how it feels to go to work in the morning after having spent most of the night, hot and soaking wet at a multiple alarm fire. I wish you could read my mind as I respond to a building fire, `Is this a false alarm or a working, breathing fire? How is the building constructed? What hazards await me? Is anyone trapped or are they all out?' or to an EMS call, `What is wrong with the patient? Is it minor or life threatening? Is the caller really in distress or is he waiting for us with a 2x4 or a gun?' I wish you could be in the emergency room as the doctor pronounces dead the beautiful little five-year old girl that I have been trying to save during the past twenty-five minutes, who will never go on her first date or say the words, "I love you Mommy!", again. I wish you could know the frustration I feel in the cab of the engine, the driver with his foot pressing down hard on the pedal, my arm tugging again and again at the air horn chain, as you fail to yield right-of-way at an intersection or in traffic. When you need us, however, your first comment upon our arrival will be, "It took you forever to get here!" I wish you could read my thoughts as I help extricate a girl of teenage years from the mangled remains of her automobile, `What if this were my sister, my girlfriend, or a friend? What were her parents' reactions going to be as they open the door to find a police officer, HAT IN HAND?' I wish you could know how it feels to walk in the back door and greet my parents and family, not having the heart to tell them that I nearly did not come home from this last call. I wish you could feel my hurt as people verbally, and sometimes physically, abuse us or belittle what I do, or as they express their attitudes of, "It will never happen to me." I wish you could realize the physical, emotional, and mental drain of missed meals, lost sleep and forgone social activities, in addition to all the tragedy my eyes have viewed. I wish you could know the brotherhood and self-satisfaction of helping save a life or preserving someone's property, of being there in times of crisis, or creating order from total CHAOS. I wish you could understand what it feels like to have a little boy tugging on your arm and asking, "Is my mommy O.K.?" Not even being able to look in his eyes without tears falling from your own and not knowing what to say. Or to have hold back a longtime friend who watches his buddy having rescue breathing done on him as they take him away in the ambulance. You knowing all along he did not have his seat belt on - sensations that I have become too familiar. Unless you have lived this kind of life, you will never truly understand or appreciate who I am, what we are, or what our job really means to us. I WISH YOU COULD!
