  1. First question is was the source of the transmission close by or far away? Second radio waves do not provide a complete saturation of an area guarantying reception as an example it's not like being in a ocean where you are surrounded by water and will definitely get wet but like a light rain storm where you will get wet but parts of you will remain dry if that makes sense. I experience the reception issue often where in one room I will hear Pike County PA loud and clear but in another room with the channel on hold will not hear a thing or I will hear Mamaroneck fire apparatus on calls but will not hear Peekskill (which is a lot closer). It has to do with location and luck.
  2. What is the "H" representing on the cars? Ex the one car has "H208". According to the NYSP web site they don't have a troop "H" http://troopers.ny.gov/Contact_Us/Troop_Information/ *Nice pics

  9. I saw a similar unit at NY Chiefs that was for Suffolk County and the price wasn't too bad I think around $100k. it would be great if the heavier populated areas had a county bus for mass transports such as evac's from nursing homes / hospitals or other MCI's

  17. Yea it is a Mack / E-One, says so in the description
  18. Lets get this right, GZ called the non emergency line not 911. I / we don't know if that call taker or dispatcher has the same or more training than a 911 dispatcher. As far as I am aware unless it is a certain type of medical call and being a "EMD" trained person they are limited as to what they can direct a civilian to do. As far as saying "We don't need you to do that" in regards to following TM it's a mere advisement and not an order, very similar to your dispatcher "suggesting" to stage for a potentially violent scene. If it was proven that GZ initiated the fight well then I would have felt he held some guilt however he followed the law and acted within the law. The problem in this country is people have double standards!
  19. If your paying a million dollars for a 75 ladder you must have put every bell & whistle on it. In my district we have several buildings while only 2 stories in the front they are almost 4 stories in the rear should we have a ladder (most have sprinklers), maybe. We only run 2 - 3 fires a year, most are held to room & contents and we have 6 towers & 2 ladder within 5 - 7 minutes of our district. We don't have the manpower to also run a ladder company and a engine company. We would most likely be calling for mutual aid if we did have a fire in one of those complexes. So why should we spend $750,000 - $1,000,000 for an Ariel?
  20. The hearts of the entire EMS community are with the family of Irene Gremmert at this time of loss. Irene was an amazing mentor, marine, preceptor, paramedic, but most of all an amazing friend to many of us. Rest easy we will take it from here.

  22. Paramedic assisted with detaining brothers who assaulted and attempted to take an officers weapon. http://www.midhudsonnews.com/News/2013/July/08/Tobias_bros_arr-08Jul13.htm It's happening more and more everyday, always watch your back and your surroundings. Remember scene safety and you don't think it's safe once inside get out.
