I loved when we had riders in the Vern who would ask, 'why are there drains in the elevator floor'??

We have not determined what vehicle was being operated. Were they ticketed for operating lights and siren on their organizations ambulance, or were they ticketed for operating their own POV? The fact that 2 were ticketed would lead me to believe they were operating POV. I can't see how 2 people can be ticketed for operating an ambulance. The summons is issued to the operator not the entire crew.

If it was good enough for Johnny and Roy, It's good enough for the rest of us !!!!!

Why does it matter aside from maybe helping figure out what is wrong with the patient? Forget about how its just wrong to treat someone differently based upon a medical condition, what if they don't know they're carrying some disease. Everyone gets treated the same unless I suspect an infection requiring droplet precautions.
Moderator note: This was the very last post made by Lenny, before he left us for keeps. RIP.

This is quite shocking, the whole situation. I'm asking myself "is this really happening?" It's surreal. ny10570 who we now know his name is Lenny Joyner, see his photo on the Denver news story, has been a regular productive member of this board for years. We know his political leanings, his compassion for others, his decency....yet most of us didn't know him personally.
I wish I had.
To those members here who had the honor of knowing him, condolences to you all. We all share in your grief.
For all of us here who care, who feel, please take care of yourselves now. Don't be tempted to grab the beers or anything else to drown the pain away.
Talk about it. Write about it. Share your feelings with those of us here who care for you and want you to be okay. That's what this site is about. A Fraternity of sorts. Times like these are the most testing for everybody. Talk about it at the firehouse, the precinct, the ambulance quarters.
Lenny got called home to God way too early, yet he obviously died doing what he wanted to be doing. Living his life the way he wanted it to be. Quite an adventurist it seems. I imagine he was quite ecstatic to reach that peak, to see that view, to be closer to his God.
Our board has another hero now. And his name is Lenny Joyner. God Rest In Peace.
Edit: Last name proper spelling.

Barry you should give me ALL your rep points for knowing you before you were a mere first responder and a probie. Also for the trouble you would get me into on New Rochelle Amb. 1.

My tax dollars hard at work in the Vern and Pelham. Maybe I can get a bail out from Obama !!!!

I guess it's a done deal. If there is a logo it must be happening !!!!!!

This sounds just like the "Vile of Life" program that was tried about 20-25 years ago. Same concept....sticker at the front door...plastic vile in the refrigerator with all medical info......
That program didn't catch on either.
The problem with in the car or in the home storage is there are multiple people that use the car or live in the house. The first responder has to first verify the people involved and then judge if the info is up to date. Most people who need to have there info available use the medical alert bracelet or necklace. These people are usually good about keeping their info current with medical alert and on their wallet cards.

You are right. The only ones to benefit are the Pelhams. As a resident of Eng 3's first due area near the Town of Mamaroneck border, every time Eng 23 would go to Pelham my next due engine is either 25 or 21. Both are 8-10 minutes away depending on traffic/weather conditions. If the people want to save on taxes go after the Board of Education, not the fire service.
