This sounds almost nothing like what I have experienced. Never used or heard the term “cold truck”. I have heard “hot truck” but it’s something usually needs to be quickly explained to the crew of said unit. Found that keeping things plain speak as much as possible and setting expectations that...

From what I understand it is a unit designated to immediately manage critical patients in need of rapid transport. Usually positioned in a place with unimpeded egress.

I agree, mutual aid is a critical component. Regards to department size and equipment my uneducated opinion would be to get rid of the current three pieces of equipment. Get a Quint and staff it with the current Officer, Driver and 2 firefighters and look to put two additional firefighters on...

60 Control is the Westchester County Department of Emergency Services Emergency Communications Center (ECC). Initial alarm is 1 Engine and 1 Truck with a Chief. One the Engine are 3 firefighters. 1 officer, the driver and 1 other firefighter. Ladder has a firefighter who drives the rig to...

Not to hijack the thread, I was actually shocked when I heard about the staffing in Pelham Manor. It’s not like the town is financially strapped so I can’t understand why they would opt for the current staffing model and continue to roll the dice hoping that nothing bad happens.

Not to be confused with Park Drive that connects the City Island Traffic Circle with Orchard Beach Road and the roadways inside Orchard Beach on the perimeter of the parking lot and taxi stand. Also the in the 4500 series boxes. 70/53 ??

I was around then and I know about a dozen people promoted off the list. I am unaware of anything else that would stand out regarding the test or list. Just to be up front, I am in support of written exams for promotion.

Thank you. Learned something new !

There was a Captains exam in the early 90’s.

What is a SAT Engine ? Are you referring specifically to Satellite System Companies ?

I look at the ERS/Pull Box as an insurance policy. I know cell phones are all over the place but I have experienced poor reception or dead spots and have been unable to use the phone. It’s expensive to maintain but I think it’s worth it. I still look for the Boxes and the orange ish red light...

Excellent information.

Rare but not unheard of. I think if you have absolutely no patients and a quick hand is needed in the street you should absolutely help out where you can. Standing around watching is likely not the correct thing to do.

I am thinking you are referring #530(?) Emotionally Disturbed Patient that formerly contained the phrase "Excited Delirium" correct ? To the Captains point, While admittedly it was infrequent, I have seen the Medics (pre BHEARD) utilize the chemical restraint procedure a number of times...

Looks like 7 days a week 09:00 to 01:00. The staffing model is 2 FDNY EMT’s and 1 HHC Therapist.

I wore step in boots since 1997 when we still had the blue coats with white reflective stripes. The matching pants were optional and out of your own pocket. I bought the pants and boots and never looked back. It made getting dressed easy and fast.
