New York State does not have an "Official" EMT patch. http://www.health.state.ny.us/nysdoh/ems/policy/03-08.htm The newer style patches are the ones with the State Seal similar to that of a State Trooper patch which are commonly available in light blue and dark blue. (other colors too) also used by Empress is the white and blue patch that says "New York State Department of Health" which IMO looks the best!

R1SmokeEater, GREAT STUFF!!!!!!!

From the past Communications Forum Leader Congrats and Good Luck!

I don't see any problem with a set of Irons on an Ambulance. I know of a couple VAC's that do and have been put to good use. I would suggest Training how to use them a MUST. They can be very useful and also very dangerous!

Maybe this hiring was NOT "approved" by the VULCANS just like the last promotions.

RIP Sorry for your loss brother!

Glad to hear, Great news Joe! I hope to see you on the road soon. Catch me! If you can? lol

$ 4,300? WOW!!! I would think the Governor would get a better deal, No? lol Client # 9 "George Fox" Frequent Flyer Miles? GOV, I THINK IT'S TIME TO RESIGN!

Hey Joe! You out there buddy? ANY UPDATE? God Bless! Goober

Boss: I'm sorry Bob, you tested positive for cocaine and we have to fire you! Employee: If you had a brita water filter on the tap water this could have never happened!

RIP Firefighter Barrett

If you TAZE the perp long enough anything in the pockets will fall out while they do the chicken dance. Sorry, I just had too! lol

OH BOY... Someone better call Squad 51 to let Johnny and Roy know about this! I also agree! Fire Helmets should NOT be worn in the Apparatus. Everything inside the cab should be secured. SAFETY FIRST!

This is why UNMARKED VEHICLES is the way to go! lol OK, in all seriousness here... Someone made a very good point. Having the vehicle is a perk of being a Fire Chief, a VOLUNTEER Fire Chief. Totally understandable and respectfully well deserved!!! Is it possible this Fire Chief was on OFFICIAL BUSINESS? Absolutely!!! It's not the first time this has happened or the last. Any given day if you drive by a FDNY Firehouse chances are good you will see a Fire Chief vehicle parked outside the Firehouse from Long Island, Westchester, Rockland, Putnam, Etc. Should ANY Fire Department or Fire District vehicle be allowed to leave that "Response Area" In my opinion... NO, they should NOT! But that is just my TWO cents and it does not mean anything. If a Fire Chief wants to take his Riverhead Long Island Fire Chief vehicle up to Lake Placid to Ski for the weekend and that Department or District does NOT care then why should WE? It's "My Taxpayer Money" Yes it is! If you only knew where some of this "Taxpayer" money was spent on you would have a STROKE so relax! Is this any different then taking an Engine, Ladder, Rescue, or ALL of the above and half the Manpower in 10 mile radius out of town to a Parade or Convention? I think a lot of the FUN (enjoyment) is taken out of Emergency Services.... and we wonder why we have problems getting NEW members? If it does not concern YOU then WHO CARES!!! Life is too short, ENJOY IT!

Very nice H.E.L.P. Trucks. lol WHOOPS, I MEAN YONKERS PD ESU!!!! (Inside joke with Truck4 and RWC130) They look SHARP! BE SAFE!

WOW!!! 67-L57, GREAT play by play! lol

I heard a rumor that E-One will soon change it's name to EMTBravo-One! Seth, you know anything about this? lol

I know of some Ambulances in the area that do carry the Mark I Kits, who has them and how many I am sure is a "Homeland Security" issue so I won't comment. If you want them for your VAC I would assume you can call the DOH and speak to them directly. NOTE: Smiley, I will leave my Mark I Kit for you as I will be RUNNING the other way! lol
