  1. Sorry for not posting here till now as I've been following the news about Sam on FB for several days. I worked with Sam at both MetroCare and OVAC.he is a great guy and an excellent medic and always gives 1000%. Just put the following on my FB page and I'm putting it here also: Glad to hear that Sam is improving a bit. Keep fighting Sam. As always Sam's family as well as OVAC and any everyone else connected with him are on my mind and in my prayers... As someone else posted - Sam is always there for others now it's time we are all there for him Joe

  3. Hey Guys, I wanted to share this with you. I never had the pleasure to work with Jon, but several of my friends and co-workers did. The loss is very sad in itself, However, his family could really use some help. I wanted to forward this to you all as I know we all stick together especially in times like this. I'm not sure if VEMS is planning anything else, but I do know Bob Petinella and he is very approachable. So if you guys can pass this on and around I'd appreciate it. Thanks, Joe http://valley.newhavenindependent.org/archives/entry/jon_fleming_personified_what_a_medic_should_be
  4. Wanted to share this for those interested. First its from JEMS and FREE (lol) and 2nd, you might just learn i trick or two from it, so I wanted to pass it on. http://app.bronto.com/public/?q=preview_message&fn=Link&t=1&ssid=10530&id=btl8n5skghsljq6emi4p6u44sr80o&id2=e5xyhttc5kvmdm7g3go6skcv8nqce&subscriber_id=aegmryromfgqsimddhcomfgiktyvbpf&messageversion_id=bcqqvczerfzpovzdtalhrbuyracsbnm&delivery_id=bqkjgkljuzduwlbldljnalykhcmeblh&tid=3.KSI.A4F-Jw.CQ6f.QCFc..g1T-.b..l.AqEx.b.UC5xiA.UC5xiA.tjmnsA Stay Safe out there everyone Joe

  6. Feel sorry for kids pressured into this "game" by their friends. They could be scared both physically and mentally for life: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/06/30/salt-and-ice-challenge-12-year-old-badly-injured_n_1640429.html?1341096581&icid=maing-grid10%7Chtmlws-main-bb%7Cdl1%7Csec1_lnk3%26pLid%3D174824

  8. So let me get this straight - a crew from tarrytown responds to a crash or a jumper on the tappan zee and they have to pay for the honor of responding? how about the state issue easy passes and just doesnt charge them period? what a joke. If this is a miscommunication, maybe thruway should send out a corrected letter. While I don't advocate gate crashing, I most definitely DO NOT advocate delaying patient care, transport, etc
  9. I am very sorry for your loss Frank and family - RIP Pete Joe
  10. How true is this - Good Piece for sure. http://news.cincinnati.com/article/20120522/EDIT/305210136
  11. Hey Guys You may recognize Sara Jones from one of the prior America's Female Firefighters Calendars. That said, she's in a pretty rough time and has cancer pretty bad. They are trying to get her to a special treatment center in Houston. I donated today although not a lot because of the comp issue, I still gave something. She can really use every bit of help she can get. Here's her story, etc. I'm not running this, her family and friends are. I'm sure that she'd say thanks as I am saying thanks also for any help any of you guys can give her. Thanks, Joe https://www.wepay.co...nesy-to-houston Seth and Mods, if you want to move or remove, sorry but I just felt it would be right to help her as she is a sister in public safety.
  12. Sad story. Granted this was the UK, but it has the potential for happening here as well. http://www.latentexistence.me.uk/sue-marsh-given-wrong-drug-and-nurse-refused-to-change-it-agony-instead-of-pain-relief/
  13. From statter911.com all I'm gonna say is I am just glad the crew as well as the occupants of the other car are OK http://networkedblogs.com/vy51t
  14. HA,HA,HA - Don't we all wish-LOL except for us fat guys like me.
  15. This just sucks beyond words. I hope this guy gets all the help he can. I honestly don't know what the hell I would do if this was me in his shoes.... http://www.iol.co.za/news/south-africa/kwazulu-natal/paramedic-sees-family-die-in-crash-1.1254491
