Was an awesome night. I brought my family. I must say the best was mohegan gotta love the hippo costume. I might have a pic or video somewhere ill have to post it for everyone

Wow...tragic.

Hey all on the update. We are awaiting the arrival of our 1st ambulance. It will be here on the 18th of this month. The rig is currently going through its final touch ups. There was a hold back because of lettering and decaling.

9 times out of 10 I have the family sit up front with a seatbelt. If the pt is under the age of 18 I will ask the parent to ride in the back ( nature of call premetting) when parent is in the back I have them sit in the captains seat with a seatbelt on. If the pt is an infant or a toddler parent and pt sit together with belts on.

much needed expansion...er is very small.

Montrose fd will be attending as well

Some lf their medics are police officers. If you look at the medic trucks which are used for the police they say police on them. Its only until you look closely do you see the DOH stickers. Not actually sure how this works I'll ask around for you and get a straight answer. I'm all about the right to beare arms, but this just seems crazy to me. I'd be to worried about who I have on the ambulance and do I actually trust them with a gun. Some I can't even trust to drive an ambulance. There should be some kind of training required to have members who are in EMS to carry guns.

Thanks again for sharing Mitch. Stay safe Ken

Thanks for sharing Mitch. Was just wondering what chasis do vou guys use over there? They appear to be Volvo to me

Officer Hermosillo was just honored a few months ago for preforming cpr on someone in cardiac arrest. Big loss. Thoughts and prayers to friends, family and members of the Peekskill PD.

Miamondies EMS has taken delivery of 5 new Demers MXP-150 Type 1 F-450 crew cab ambulances. Attached is the link of one on the trucks they recived. Link : www.nervinc.com/recent Good luck to MIAMO on the new trucks

Newsbuff, from talking with a couple guys who work on the dodges they say they are awful. One said he gets thrown around because the suspension is too hard. Another said it sits to high off the ground. If you look at the demers it sits low for a 4x4. Not really a high step to the box or the cab. Demers is getting very popular they were voted innovators of the year at the past JEMS conf. There will be 2 regular cab T-1's coming to Westchester soon. When I first saw the truck I wasn't sure what to think however the more and more I looked at it on line I was pretty excited!

Would hate to the one on the end of that phone line when the yard master gets told.

May he rest in peace.

Hey all on the update. CCVAC's first new rig should be in within the next few weeks. As soon as it does I will get some pictures up. the old 88B1 has been delivered to its new owners in Brooklyn.

I had the pleasure of working with Chucky when I first started at Empress. He will be greatly missed. RIP Chucky. You will greatly be missed.

Hey all just a reminder today from 1 to 4pm at the Montrose Fire house is the open house. Address is 2143 Albany Post Rd. Come on over there will be oven fire demo's, fire extinguisher trainning, thermal imaging demo's and motor veichle extracation demo. Hope to see some of you all here. Stay safe Ken

Due to the fact that some of us in westchester get medics on automatic dispatch is the lack of BLS knowledge out there. EMD should always be done reguardless of the call volume. I cannot begin to discribe who pissed I become when I see "No EMD due to call volume" if its that busy hire more people and get the proper help needed. We are depriving that cardic arrest pt proper care because of someone playing russian roulet on how many dispatchers are needed to run an operations center. Let's face it the amount of EMS calls has gone up everywhere!!! Its time to get prepared. Get these guys some help!

nice boat chief good luck with it
