    Was there something wrong with the old 2371? I looked it up in google and the one I found looked like it was a 07 or 08 Tahoe(if thats the right one)

    The "old" 2371 has now be renumbered to be 2372.

    Knowing Pleasantville, the previous 2371 was renumbered and given to one of the assistant chiefs. The oldest car becomes the utility, and the current utility gets disposed of.

    Exactly.

    Is this In service?

    I am not positive....it will be this weekend for sure I imagine.

    The warning light that the Tip-Up Bar is up is a great idea. I like the car, not overly done - good luck with it!

    Definitely a good idea and will most likely end up saving a few bucks.

    for the more urban enviorments....with FD as a first responder to calls....can they pick up the pt and place them back in bed or chair or where ever they want and cancel EMS??

    I say this because waterbury FD responds to all medical calls if available as the first responder except psychs and all 911s at skilled nursing (except codes). If its a "help me i cant get up" and put me in bed where as farmington FD they can cancel and obtain a refusal

    It is not an urban example but up here in St. Lawrence County often times for EMS runs, the rescue squad and FD first responders are dispatched. If the first responders get on scene first and their is no need for rescue, they can cancel the squad.

    Is that a serious question? I'm not joking and its with the utmost respect. You / I cannot even be sure a bus will respond in a timely fashion, if at all, to an aided case in the vast majority of this county. It just seems, at least to me, that the FDs (volunteer, not career) have a more robust and active membership. That said, if the job is only a lift assist and there isn't another medic to give me a hand, ill call for some manpower. It doesn't happen often, but when it has, at least with me, i've always gotten more people than i've needed and they've have been more than willing to help.

    The way i look at it is we are all here to assist the public - as a team and within our own subset of specialties. At times we all need the assistance of each other to get our individual jobs done. A lift assist can be one of those instances.

    No disrespect taken. I completely agree with you that we are all fighting for the same cause and helping each other out is a must. It just seems that in other counties in the state, I hear EMS agencies re-tone for their own man power to go to the scene for lifting assistance. If this is not filled then an fd is requested for lifting assistance. I understand doing whatever it takes to get the patient the care they need just seems that rather than just skipping over your remaining membership that could help assist and calling for another agency/department might be unnecessary. If you can not fill the need then of course call an outside agency.

    I don't personally care who does the lift assist. I have done lift assists as both an EMS and FD provider. What I am curious about is why EMS agencies request FD's for lifting assistance without first retoning their own agency/department. Why? Is it possible that agencies do not have 1 or 2 extra hands not already on the call?
