Christmas and New Year's Day 7p - 7a at ScarVAC. Happy Holidays to All!

Is there an actual service? This sounds like a viewing schedule.

Now that many of our EMTs are returning to school to continue their edyu eduka educash to get smarter and we are adding more shifts we are currently hiring FT and PD EMTs and Medics. If interested you can check out our website at: www.westchesterems.org or contact our HR coordinator Janet at 914-273-5454. Westchester EMS is the ambulance department for the four Stellaris hospitals - Lawrence, Northern Westchester, Phelps and White Plains. Additionally we operate the paramedic fly car system for the 8 towns in the Northeast corner of the county. We are a not for profit entity. We offer competitive pay and an excellent benefit package including an excellent Oxford Medical Insurance plan with very low employee contribution, dental insurance, life insurance, long term disability insurance, matched 403B plan, additional pension, uniforms, and tuition reimbursement. FT employees also receive vacation time, personal time, paid holidays and sick time. I'm also available to answer any questions. Message me here or email me at sglaessgen@stellarishealth.org or call 914-244-0440 x 14. Scott T. Glaessgen Operations Supervisor Westchester EMS

Due to budget cuts, some firefighters are forced to respond to alarms without a full set of gear.

Armonk is the first agency using EMD priority dispatch with 60-Control, however, this can only be done if the 60-Control dispatcher has the opportunity to interview the patient. So any calls that come from the PD where the 911 caller is not routed to 60-Control will not have an EMD interview done, therefore, the default is ALS. I suspect that as time goes on, more calls will be properly routed and more calls will be triaged properly.

A topic near and dear. No loss with KROCK. Their programming is terrible. How many times do you need to hear the same awful Nickelback song. At least with the Top 40 stations they get rid of the songs quickly. On KROCK the same crap song will linger for months on end. The two local radio stations I listen to are 107.1 The Peak and 90.7 WFUV (Fordham University - they have an Irish show on Sundays 12 - 4 I've listened to forever). College stations are still good. There are a few in Connecticut you can listen to in No. Westchester anyway. I've had Sirius over a year and love it. Bought a new car in June that had XM and did the three month free trial but I liked Sirius MUCH better so didn't renew my XM subscription. So now I have a factory installed XM radio which is useless. www.accuradio.com has my favorite online station. keep it on in the background at work.

Below is information regarding a special fund through NAEMT to benefit those EMS personnel personally affected by this tragedy. My challenge to my fellow career EMS providers is this: we all work multiple jobs - we all know how easy it is to pick up an extra per diem shift or an extra OT shift. Pick up one extra shift and donate that money to those that need it in our community. These are Medics and EMT's that have lost everything and may no longer have jobs cause there ain't no more people to serve in those communities. One Day's Pay - that's my challenge to you. DIG DEEP!!! Scott T. Glaessgen, EMT-P WEMS/TMAD/SVAC P.S. Obviously volunteer EMS personnel can't pick up that extra shift but I challenge all of you also to DIG DEEP!! NAEMT EMS and Rescuer Relief Fund Many members of the EMS community are asking what they can do to help their fellow medics affected by Hurricane Katrina. As NAEMT members know, after 9-11, NAEMT established the EMS and Rescuer Relief Fund to collect money for the victims of the disaster. That fund remains operational. NAEMT urges anyone who is able to make a financial donation to send a check to the NAEMT EMS and Rescuer Relief Fund c/o the NAEMT Headquarters, PO Box 1400, Clinton, MS 39060-1400. Credit card donations can be made by calling 1-800-34-NAEMT. Individual and corporate donations are welcomed and corporations are encouraged to match employee contributions. NAEMT has pledged to cover the operational costs of the fund, permitting all donations to the fund to be distributed in their entirety. The money collected will be made available to EMS professionals who need help re-building their lives in the wake of the Hurricane Katrina. No decisions have been made yet as to precisely when and how the funds will be disseminated. After 9-11, NAEMT disseminated $107,553 to assist the families of EMS workers who died in the line of duty while responding to the terrorist attacks.

www.capecodfd.com Very thorough website for FD, EMS and PD for the Cape Cod/Martha's Vineyard/Nantucket area - one of my favorite parts of the country. Includes pics of every apparatus, every station, online scanner, news etc. Hours upon hours of buffery for those interested.

Some members are too bashful to strip before entering the department's new sauna.

I think they should do it the old fashioned way before they had labs and glucometers -- taste the urine!

Some trivia - Manhattan College is in Riverdale which is in fact in the Bronx. Reason for that is that the College was originally founded in Manhattan and moved to its present location in the Bronx.
