So, Westchester, you've been a member here for a month or so , welcome.
How many years have you been around Irvington?
What about the 15 years prior to Dobbs Ferry hiring paid personnel when Irvington covered more calls in Dobbs than they did in Irvington?
Maybe Irvington can back charge Dobbs for all of the calls and they would have enough money to hire paid personnel?

Tarrytown started per diem personnel in 1995 or 1996. TVAC has never had to call for mutual aid due to not getting a primary crew out. Only when the first crew is on a call, is when TVAC has needed mutual aid.
I joined about that time and from that time Dobbs and Sleepy Hollow would go through good times and bad. Stories always centered on both corps not getting out the primary crew. But Irvington has always had the reputation of always getting out. Even getting two crews out during the day. I've been on maybe three mutual ais calls to irvington in all these years.
And I really wouldn't expect any neighbor to "charge" any neighbor.

You are a J_ _ _ A_ _

AGAIN........Are you guys still pissing at each other over the traffic situation.
If, there was nothing wrong with the truck, because we are all blaming the driver;
If, the truck driver wasn't driving so fast;
If, the truck wasn't overweight;
If, the driver didn't get trapped;
If, the fire department worked faster and extricated the driver faster;
If, the EMS personnel could have gotten the surgical team there faster to cut off the drivers legs;
Maybe, just maybe, the world would be perfect!
But answer this.................
If a dalmation had a square ass, would he poop dice?

When I started this topic, I was looking to hear about the rescue. "The man's legs were stuck under 50 tons of truck, caught between the blah, blah, blah....and we did this and did that and sent for the surgical team,etc. etc. etc."
BUT,
Instead I got to read a pissing match between "adults" about whether the police handled the traffic duties correctly.
Sorry I asked a question and got everybody upset!

If photos are the payment received for going, does it matter? Take pictures, have as good a time as possible while there. I'm sure when the alarms come in the cameras are put away.

Rest In Peace

Like I said, I know nothing about the drill except what was written. So it's a FDNY drill only for mutual aid departments that will respond to the city!? Okay!

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.

I guess you can't just get a simple answer to a simple question.

http://www.chp.ca.gov/html/gallery.html
some pictures

Can we stay away from the ESU vs. Firefighters?
Just talk about what was done wrong and move on.
I really don't care WHO was to blame. How about talking about what was done wrong.
What was the correct thing to do?
What was could have been done if they couldn't wait? (The car was resting on the patients chest and he couldn't breath, for example).
Obviously something went wrong. I'd rather learn from it. Not try to be the judge and jury placing blame.
But that may just be me.

He's an AMERICAN who has pride in his County, his Uniform and Himself! That's it!
Military, Paramilitary or Draft Dodger - who cares?
I agree send a letter to his superiors.

So...Would it be okay if as I'm driving my car from Yonkers to Peekskill on Route 9 to get pulled over by every police agency so they can perform a safety check?
Or let's make it my commercial 18 wheeler. Safety check in every jursidiction is okay?
