I'm a member of movac in orange cty I believe every corps in orange cty seems to having this problem 1 way or another the last hold out like walkill have paid daytime crews during the day now. I personaly have moved to middletown and volly in monroe 1 time per week and scheduled weekend shifts i cant afford housing in harriman woodburry or monroe town/village it's insane the prices of the shacks that are out there and i work in the south bronx as a paid tech I and my wife who are emt's would love to be back in monroe but it's impossible to start my life in an area w/ the huge home increases so don't think ur alone in this we definately need to come together and fight this @ the local level or we'll never get to be a volly agency's again. every 1 living here are people from the city and assume we get paid anyway other than that i really don't know what to say, set up mtgs with local corps and bring the problem to the newspaper power in numbers u know feel free to mail me personaly movac 93

ok where is the hand out?......the only "perk" is that instead of goin on a list w/ 30,000 other people is we go on a list of possible 200 people because we already work for the dept i still needed to pass the same physical i still needed to pass the same written and i still need to pass the same medical stair master heart rate so i am wondering y the fireman feel the emser's are the enemy? all we are looking for is the same pay and job security they have, and if some 1 is goin to bring up the point that u can still fail 2 physical agaility tests and get a bad score on the written i can tell u now now 1 is willing to get on the job @ any less of a score than the last guy because they would be marked for life so the people goin the "back door" are just as respectiful of the job as any 1 else

wait.....we got a new contract......thats the first i'm hearing what is some of the terms

i'm not sure which borough queens brooklyn where the firefighter spat a racial slur @ the ems employee now i'm sure there's more to the story there always is but it needs to be kept off of scenes and the news paper the dept has enough problems being no raise has been givin to ems employees in 44 months

I work the s bronx on a haz tac unit for the majority of the time I have had no problems but a few instances where my ems abality needed to stop the improper practices of a firefighter don't get me wrong plenty of friends who are on the other side some even my old partners and thats where I want to be but seems as if a couple of bad eggs spoil the bunch and I was looking for other peoples experiences

Just wondering how the guys and girls feel about people from the ems side moving over to fire. I know the people working haztac ambulances get lots of respect from fire but can't say thats true of everyone else. I want to hear how everyone really feels, this is a real hot topic considering people have been fighting on scenes and it's in the public eye now and not just an in house thing....
