    If they have a star of life in the cap window they are EMS conditions cars operated by an EMS Lt or occasionally a Captain. A while back the department ordered several of these vehicles, 80 I believe. 40 went to Fire Battalions and 40 EMS. The Fire and EMS versions have different slide out trays.

    Also, don't EMS Divisions run red Impalas...

    Units Operating: Car 22, Rescue 1, HazMat 2, Truck 1, Truck 2, Eng 1, Eng 2, Eng 3, Eng 10, Mohawk Ambulance, Schenectady PD

    Weather Conditions: Partly Cloudy, Slight Breeze, Moderate Temperatures.

    Description Of Incident: Heavy fire in rear of building on second floor upon arrival. Crews were able to get occupants out of the residents without harm. Crews initially made an interior attack but soon an evacuation was called and crews worked on the defensive for the majority of the work. As flames died down crews reentered the building and extinguished the remaining fire and checked for extensions. In the end one cat was carried out of the house, but also a request by command for assistance from a local funeral home so unknown if in fact it was a fatal fire.

    "We understand the hardship this places on fire departments, and so have introduced a buy-back grant program where departments can apply for money to buy equipment at auction,"

    What??? We will take back trucks purchased with grant money but create a grant program so you have money to buy it back.....If that was a true quote, then that is pretty much a circle, lol.
