BLS Ambulance

It's amazing how they believe a bird caused it!

Best of luck with the new apparatus!

I love the LED lightbar, and stairs in the back

I don't see why FDNY EMS is not a good option even if you do not want to make it a career. They offer a FREE medic program... where else can you get an offer like that. Base salary and BLS overtime while you do mon-fri with weekend and holidays off. You can get a lot of experience there without making it your career.

I know that classes are currently POSTPONED... but we all know that isnt going to last very long. EMS is way understaffed, you arent going to see a freeze on hiring like you might see on the fire side (unfortunately)...

I wholeheartedly agree, benefits, a union and a pension is what you need in this economy. Also their training in the TOPS program at the EMS academy is second to none. They will reteach you EMT and more. Though the job sucks at times it is the ONLY place to work EMS full time, whether as a career or waiting on another civil service list.

I agree along the lines of FDNY as a good option, youve got the Union backup, the medic program, but based on his intentions and the way it reads it looks like he wants to work for a "commercial" service
