White Plains FD Responding To EMS Calls Today

[mamaro40 12]

Due to numerous ambulance calls in a short period, the White Plains FD responded to two medical emergencies today. Do they wait on a mutual aid ambulance? I don't recall the last time I heard them go on a ambulance call.

WPFD does not normally respond to EMS calls. In the event WP's EMS provider, Transcare, is tied up, the FD will respond and provide care until an ambulance arrives. WP has 3 ambulances in the city that run out of Station 2.

I heard White Plains might be getting a fourth ambulance now that Transcare is no longer in New Rochelle.

It always interested me how White Plains FD was able to avoid taking an active role in EMS as all the other local cities and most combo Departments are all in on first response.
