  1. Hi everyone I wanted to introduce myself.  Im Rob Tillson.  I am on Facebook and originally from NY (Yonkers 1st and then Hyde Park 2nd).  I do collect patches from different departments and do make diecast vehicles in 1:64 scale.  I currently live in Lodi, Ohio and still love the Westchester County area FD / PD / EMS.  I work as an EMT for a private company called Life Care Medical Services.  Thanks for listening to my ramble and hope to be a part of more discussions.

  2. I as well listen to the scanner in my neck of the woods.  Lodi Ohio.  We have our own Emergency Department and travel time is minimal.  From when crew gets on scene is a 5-8 mins transport to ED.  There is no need for ALS unless they are going with the crew.  Some of the outlying areas where its 15-20 mins or maybe longer maybe ALS could be needed.  I worked for Alamo EMS (RIP), Beacon VAC and Marlborough VAC (also RIP) where the magic powers were have ALS meet enroute to the hospital.  Is that something that could be done???   EMD protocols are only as good as the caller. 

     

    CALLER Im having chest pain with pain radiating to my arm

     

    Sometimes stands for "I shouldn't have had that taco earlier

     

    A pulled foley catheter should never need ALS.

  3. I know I live all the way here in Ohio but wouldnt it be part of a combined NY State EMS Task Force .....Please dont kill the unknowing one. Here's the other part. Lets say train accident (yes folks those do happen) in say Dobbs Ferry wouldnt the Yonkers MERV and / or Westchester County MERV go. One could say that Yonkers has there own and needs to "protect there citizens". And then you have the Westchester MERV couldnt go well are you gonna strip ambulances all the way from Yonkers (Empress), Hastings, Dobbs Ferry, Tarrytown, Ossining etc.


  4. I also remember the one in Poughkeepsie on Route 9 (Town of Poughkeepsie). I remember the Harbor Freight was there and there was an IHOP there as well. Cant remember if it was there last time I was out there but great food and great service.


  5. Sorry got off subject there but........What big cities does WCPD respond to. I know Yonkers and White Plains have there own "toys" but does any other city / town / village have any bigger toys.
