this vehicle screams inaccurate replica everywhere to the common NY eye.. surprised they even cared...

do LaCounty LAFD run 24hrs on a street corner? just curious ive never been out there...i know the "rescue squads" have stations they quarter in.. i think??

on the topic of NEW Vehicles.... the FDNY has been moving forward with the purchasing of new vehicles.. as a member i can safely say the flow of new vehicles is great.. but here are a few insights...... The 4D Dodge is convenient for the members to ride in and store equipment but the problem still remains The Dodge Motor has not been standing up to the abuse of 24hr work... the NEW Fords have been decent to work with. no major issues to report yet.... the rumor of internationals is actually about 90% true they have been spec. ing a new international but it will be strictly designed for RESCUE Medics. since they carry additional fed. funded equipment... Basically The GOAL of the city is to finally REPLACE all the old 2man stretchers work horses....

The Vehicle used in Suffolk County is not part of the METU Program... suffolk has a MERV (Major Emergency Response Vehicle).. very similar to METU but slight changes to design... funny tho. they send the MERV to Major fires or below freezing weather. and ridiculously enough they wont allow FF on it to rehab... so basically serves "almost" no purpose...

would be nice to see this around our area as the new WMC Children's Hospital Ambulance...

To reply to all its mamaroneck village ems and the last two vehicles have given us great service but one needs to be replaced.. were looking at road rescue.. anyone have feedback regarding their type 1's

So a group that I am part of has been tasked to purchase a new ambulance we have give or take 132, 000 to work with and perfer a Type-1... any suggestions for chasis and mod?

idk call me old fashioned i just dont see them as being practical...im used to seeing medics roll up in either a bus or an suv... idk how it will do on the yonkers pothole filled streets or coming off a sidewalk... just another fancy attention grabber.... almost as useful as CityWide's Presidential Ambulance....idk i guess good luck and hope it goes well..

As Many of you have heard FF/EMT Matt Oliveri has passed away. This Thread is a condolence card reaching out to the brothers and sister's of his Emergency Services Family and his Personal Freinds and Family. RIP MATT YOU WILL BE MISSED BY MANY AND ALL. SEE YA ON THE OTHER SIDE BROTHA.

Let's look at places like Port Chester .. its an up and coming rescue company.... The company encourages and helps their members gain access to many state courses.... Like any other volunteer dept. You must start with basics... FF1/2, Survival with FAST, AVET, RTB,HazMat Ops ( I believe this is the Minimum that they want) which opens the door to Confined space, collapse rescue, And more specific specialty training.... They try and work with what their given every volunteer fire depts financial strains...

ok so even our FDNY Ambulance for the President isn't even this tricked out... lol and thats The Presidents Bus.... i mean common have people hit the low point its an EMERGENCY VEHICLE not the HILTON... its ideas like this that lead the public to believe we as EMS workers will do anything for them like make them a sandwich or slice their steak....

that looks like the old E-193 from Rye FD

R2-D2 WINS THE BEST RESPONSE LOL... AWESOME.... BUT YEA IVE NEVER SEEN THAT BUS MOVE..

boy oh boy... im glad i took vacation days...

Now with this whole pin door indicator system... are they still able to roll out to calls with the back doors open.. like previous rigs.... I kinda see it as a tradition lol...
