BIG Blue all the way. I hope the Pats like the #1 next to the 15. 15-1

I am Irish and a medic. The 643 is my old Sloper RIN#

Much faster. Looks good. Excellent job.

Hey Merlin there are a bunch of old uniforms in the laundry room at the station. All you gotta due is change the patches and get some of those non company issue ties. I'm sure no one will even notice. Hows that for a cheap alternative?

Gotta love the fact that the guy has a security camera for his mobile home. Great video. He is very lucky the fox didn't put up more of a fight. That could have been messy

WOW unbelivable. Darrell was a great guy. I did many a call with Darrell in the day. Darrell was always a class act, always willing to give you hand on any EMS job. I don't even know what to say right now. Rest in peace. God bless you, your family, friends, the officers of CSPD, and Duncan. Gonna miss ya man.

I keep hearing they got it they got it ( Empire ) but I have not seen anything official on paper yet. How do we know they got it? So far all it is is people talking. Why has there not been an official annoucment on paper from the county?

My question is why does it not say anything about Empire State in this article? If Empire State was awarded the contract dont you think it would have said something about that in this article? Did Empire really get the contract or is this all a BIG out of control rumor?

The concern for the putnam medics is the benifits as a whole. The medical benefits as well as time off,paid cme training, 401k, ect. When Alamo took over Sloper as a good will jesture they accepted your years with Sloper towards your vacation time with Alamo. So even though many of the medics have only been with Alamo for a couple of years some have over ten years of Vacation and PTO time. The other big one is the health benefits. Alamo has Health Quest medical insurance. Zero employee contribution for Single or family plan as well as Zero co pay if you use a Health Quest facility (Vassar, Putnam, NDH). You really can't beat the benefits. When you have a wife and three kids that is a BIG plus.That is the reason Why many of the medics would rather stay with Alamo then go with Empire and lose all their beniefits. No one said That Alamo ( The company)did a great job in Putnam, the question is did the Alamo medics do a good enough job to make up for the company. Because I am afraid the county as well as all the FDs and VACs have lost both. I know I as well as many of the other putnam medics will dearly miss all the friends we have made in Putnam over the years.
