[afd65 4]

thats alot of runs. good job =D> =D> =D>

[WAS967 97]

Peekskill VAC did 2,036 runs this year.

Thats it? When i was a member there we topped out somewhere closer to 3000. Hell, first year i rode i did 900 calls. Did they just end up giving a lot to mutual aide?

[Guest WCDES636]

2000 calls. Peekskill is slowing down. I use to ride at least 500 calls a year in the old days.

[WAS967 97]

Yah. Same here. And that was "taking it easy". I wonder why the drop. I guess Mohegan is on the other side of the see-saw. They've been hitting record numbers (3000+ i want to say) for the past several years. They might just be the busiest VAC in westchester.

[TS7542 6]

I will try to find out how many went to mutual aid. I will post as soon as i find out. Mohegan is busy but we did alot of mutual aid for them too. But they do a hell of a job in Mohegan too.

[WAS967 97]

Well, I don't think PCVAC is guilty of calling M/A anymore than the next guy. In fact they've gone the distance and contracted out to have an EMT/Driver in quarters during the day. Kudos to them for that. Sometime I wonder tho if maybe the hours shouldn't extended to start at 6am, since calls between 6am (when the night crew leaves) and 8am (when the paid guy comes in) seem especially hard to cover.

how many buses does Peekskill VAC run?

[WAS967 97]

PCVAC used to be the only VAC/Squad in Westchester and perhaps most of the Hudson Valley with 4 ambulances. But when we sold our old Braun (7504) to Croton, it was never replaced and they have been running 3 ambulances ever since, backed up by one BLS flycar for the line officers. Thats why it's designated 7505. No idea if they ever plan to put a fourth bus on the road again. I tend to doubt it. I don't remember ever having 4 lances on the road and manned and in use. 3 yes, 4 no. (Someone else might, but I've never seen it).
