Happy Birthday WAS967! Too bad he is stuck working 35M2 all night on his Birthday. lol

Easy! Before this topic goes downhill I want to make it CLEAR that no one on here is knocking Pat, a well respected Police Officer or his K9 Cezar. If this does happen this thread will be shut down. This is not, I repeat NOT a RANT SITE! Best of luck to the Brewster Police Department and the new K9 unit.

EMTBravo Holiday Party Hosted By: RWC130 Friday December 5th 8 PM to 12 AM The Pub @ Doral Arrowwood 975 Anderson Hill Road Rye Brook, NY 10573 http://www.doralarrowwood.com/ $15.00 Per Person Cash Bar - Hot & Cold Appetizers - Raffle This Holiday Party is open to ALL members of Emergency Services!

On behalf of the EMTBravo Admin Staff we look forward to seeing YOU on Friday December 5th!

Good Topic! How about a Countywide Fire Department? Utilize the CAD System and Dispatch the closest Fire Apparatus based on the location of the 911 Caller and not who's "District" it is. I don't remember what town it was in but someplace on Long Island a few years back they had a Working Fire w/ People Trapped. ABC Fire Department was about 4-5 miles away. Just over the District Line not even 1/2 a mile was a XYZ Fire Department. XYZ Fire Department buffed the job and made a Rescue of a trapped victim. Had the Fire K/D when ABC Fire Department arrived. This caused some real problems between Chiefs. I am not saying who was right or wrong but I think some COMMON SENSE kicked in by the Firefighters from XYZ Fire Department. This applies to EMS also. I will use Yorktown (YVAC) and Mohegan (MVAC) as an example. Both very good and well respected VAC's. Let's say both have Ambulance Crews staffed and ready to go. 911 call comes in..... Person Choking at Grandma's on Route 202 YVAC is right up the street on Route 202 I would guess maybe 2-3 minute ETA? MVAC is on the other side of Yorktown on Route 6 and would have to come across Lexington Ave then up 202. I would guess a 7-8 minute ETA? If you were the 911 Dispatcher and had a choice who would you send YVAC or MVAC? 2-3 Minutes? 7-8 Minutes? Before you answer that let me add a little kicker, the person Choking is your Mom or Dad. Do the math! LETS SAVE LIVES!

Glad everyone had a good time, makes the effort all worth it.

As MoFire mentioned you gotta love the sound of that engine coming down the road, almost didn't need a siren. haha I see in the back a lil clip of a Mack CF? NICE!

Not to get off the topic of Ambulances pulling you over but here in the State of New York you MUST yield the right of way to ALL Emergency Vehicles Marked or Unmarked so long as they have Red Lights and Siren activated. I'd be very cautious in saying you "DO NOT" have to pull over for a Unmarked Vehicle because you don't want to find yourself in a situation where the Police Officer radios in Pursuit for a vehicle failing to comply with his/her Flashing Red Lights and Siren. Usually Police and News Media tell drivers if you are unsure if the person behind you attempting to pull you over is a real Police Officer you should do the following: 1. Slow down, Pull to the Right, Turn on your hazard lights, that way you are at least acknowledging them. 2. If at night time pull into a well lighted area. 3. Dial 911 on your cell phone, the 911 Dispatcher can usually verify with PD cars on the road if you give your location. IMO, You should always pull over! If you are uncomfortable crack your window and tell him/her you would like a Marked Police Vehicle or Uniformed Police Officer. You can also ask to see ID. Police Officers CAN pull you over in Unmarked Cars. No laws against it in the State of New York. Unmarked Cars are obviously great for Traffic/Speed Enforcement. New York State Police (last I knew) had a policy put into place a few years ago that Uniformed Troopers would no longer Patrol or conduct Traffic Stops in Unmarked Vehicles I think this was a request from Governor Pataki at the time. You will notice a lot of "Slick Cars" or "Slick Tops" which are the Marked Police Cars (all the lettering) without the Lightbar. Unmarked Police Vehicles are still commonly used by a lot of Town, Village, City Police especially the NYPD. Now, back on the topic. I think the Ambulance Crew acted in "Good Faith" doing what they did. As far as the Ambulance pulling you over? Watch out in Greenburgh! lol

As mentioned Starting Salaries do vary. Are you? -EMT -Paramedic Do you want? -Full Time -Part Time -Per Diem Do you have? -Experience -No-Experience Will you be working? -Transports -911 I'd suggest you fill out the online application and submit it with a resume. As a employee of TransCare I can honestly say they are a good company to work for. I work Per-Diem in White Plains and New Rochelle 911 EMS The EMT's, Paramedics, and Supervisors are a pleasure to work with.
