EMT/Paramedics are covered under The presumptions of Assault 2 already. DA.s need to enforce it. http://ypdcrime.com/penal.law/article120.htm#p120.08

Getting word the perp is in custody, caught in the 113 Pct. News reports saying he has been shot twice, possibly by himself. News reports also indicate the NCPD officer was not wearing his vest this morning when he was shot. http://www.7togo.com/wap/news/text.jsp?sid=10&nid=3824477234&cid=2&scid=-1&ith=0&title=Top+Stories&headtitle=Top+Stories

Rest in Peace Brother

Rest in peace.

If the member was given an allowance, then the helmet is theirs to keep. I know I get a $1000 yearly allowance that is lumped into a regular paycheck and taxed. Out of the $1000 I take home about $560 to be used to purchase uniforms and equipment and maintain it thru the year. That money is spent very quickly...cargo pants run about $60, sweaters $60 to 80,shirts etc are not cheap. That equipment is mine to keep if I leave or retire. The only things I have to return are shield, id card, patrol guide and millenium mask. After getting a firearms permit, I even keep my service weapon at no cost.( the city does not purchase weapons for new hires, IIRC they are supplied by the PBA) As for the 5 year time span mentioned in the article, the way I read it was that all existing helmets would be replaced in a 5 year time span, and then have 10 lifespan. Also why the slidung scale on price based on a members years of service? Does the helmet suddenly have less value if the member has more than 20 years on the job?

Does the helmet really belong to the city? Up until the mid 1990's the city gave members a uniform allowance to purchase gear. At some point it switched to a quartermaster system some time around the introduction of bunker gear to the FDNY. Maybe someone can correct me if am wrong, but wasn't the quartermaster system funded by what would have been the members uniform allowance? What happens to a members pants, boots, coats, etc when a member retires? Does it get returned to the quartermaster for inspection and re-issue? member takes it with them? gives it to other members of the company? The city is just looking to make a buck on the backs of firefighters. The helmet has no value to them.

Interesting how the city takes different positions with different agencies under its control. On the PD side our bullet resistant vests are guaranteed for 5 years after that the vest is not under any coverage. However, that vest is the officer's for their entire career, unless you replace it on your own using your uniform allowance (which you would have to save for 2 years to pay for it). I think some bean counter figured out they could sell an authenticFDNY helmet to some wacker and make some money for the emporer to use on some anti soda campaign

Rest in peace.

Forgot to add, the guys that put in were going to the wedding. It was corrected once the admin LT was informed by the PBA delegate.

Just like working for the NYPD. I know someone who was denied the day off for his wedding, but all his coworkers that put in for the day off were approved.

With the engine-tanker concept just remember it will not be able to fulfill both roles at a working fire. It will either be an engine, or a tanker and if you are dealing with a rural water supply, you may have to call in additional resources as a result. Also not sure how this would reflect in your ISO if an engine and a tanker a required for your area, but now you have one piece to fill both roles. Then again, most of the places around here have a rating of 9.

http://www.health.ny.gov/nysdoh/ems/trauma2.htm St Francis in Poughkeepsie listed as area trauma center. Outside of that next closest regional trauma center is in Albany.

Here is an article from the NY Post on 9/23/12. FDNY employees no longer allowed to "put in a good word" from candidates. Guess you can use friends as a reference http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/fdny_douses_friends_family_hiring_4Evlkoi4frs5dTmTsG1NyL#ixzz27c4xoqq0

Hey I thought that was PD's job, blue canaries.

I looked around online, and found the NYPD did take a small order if Diplomats in 1988. Most went to Highway, and had Federal streethawk lightbars. It is possible.

10512, Thanks for the info! Not totally sure on the green, black and whites, but I cant see privately owned vehicles stored here. Stranger things have happened.

From info I got overall at firepics.net , it is an 1989 or 91 ex-FDNY Bureau of Training rig. Thank you to FDNYtrucks.com for the info.
