Seems like job security to me

Seems kind of stupid, last thing you want is a patient to go and grab your gun

I could have missed it, but does NYSDOH have any Policy Statements on this topic?

Good luck Seth

Seth,
I don't know what to say. I want to hit the rep button but it says "like." There's nothing to like about what you have been going through. It's kind of stunning to read all of this. I'm very sorry to read that you've been through so much pain and freakin agony.
You're going to be on my mind and in my prayers.
Never give up Brother. You'll have a lot of support going forward.
God Bless.

Hi guys,
I've had a rough couple of months.
I became critically ill in June while on a trip to Chicago, and was hospitalized in ICU intubated for several days.
A few days after I got home to Texas, same thing happened, I had a procedure to corrrect the problem, but while I was intubated I aspirated vomit somehome and came up with severe double pneumonia. Physically, I can only use the computer for a limited amount of time right now, and am still extremly weak but am getting better by the day.
While I was in the hospital, I had no access to my phone or computer. I lost my job because I wasn't elegible for FMLA yet and I ran out of time that I could use, so I'm on a very tight budget. I can reapply for my job, but read on to find out why I won't.
My PayPal account that I use to pay for this site was hacked, and I was cleaned out of all the funds for this site. Although PayPal will be reimbursing me, it will be several weeks. I'm on a limited budget right now, and bills for the website are due soon and I can't bill, sell, or design any ads right now to raise money, nor will I be soliciting donations.
Earlier this week, my luck started to turn around the best it can at this point. A very awesome longtime friend and great person helped me out, big time. I am thankful for him and his bosses because his actions and concern gave me great motivation to keep going and renewed my passion. For right now, all I'm going to be saying is that I'm moving back to NY in the next week.............................I think I'll be much happier back there, especially because I miss all my friends from NY and working there. I LOVE Austin and Texas and will miss it (I've lived here for 4+ years already), and have been succesful and had awesome experience with the agencies I worked for , but at this point I need to start taking care of myself. After I was no longer healthy enough to be a career firefighter anymore, my heart was broken and I really wasn't the same-it destroyed me, but I've finally had closure on that and want to have the old pre-2007 Seth back.
There is MUCH more to this story, but please don't speculate.
I also apologize for not getting back to all those who hae been calling and emailing, it just gets a little overwhelming right now as I recover.
I have over 1,500 emails personally from friends, collegues, and EMTBravo members and related to me since May 26th, and eventually I will get to them all.
I traded in my car and sold off a lot of my things and bought a small 2005 Ford F-350 Super Duty/Winnebago Aspect 23' RV with only 7,000 miles on it. It's got all the comforts of home, and is cheaper and easier for me to live, especially since I will still have the home in Texas.
Does anyone know of RV Parks in the NY/CT area that are affordable and have electric and water hookups?
I was hoping I could park it at an FD or EMS, and in exchange join that agency and they would technically have a driver in house. I am stilll a certified Firefighter and Paramedic, and am capable of driving, operating, and maintaining any type of emergency vehicle. I can drive ambulances, midmount and rearmount aerials and tower ladders, engines (I am certified in pumping and water supply), rescue trucks, tankers, brush trucks, etc. If someone knows of an agency that could work something out with me, I would greatly appreaciate it. Email me at seth@emtbravo.com if you know of anything, even if short term.
I hopefully will have a job lined up, but I am looking for a second job, if anyone knows anything that's open and pays decent. It doesn't have to be emergency services. Email me at seth@emtbravo.com .
I wish I never gave up some of my Westchester jobs I had, I always thought the grass was greener and kept moving up jobs, but I look back now and had it great right where I started.
Thanks guys for your concern, and whatever help you can offer me. I hope that some of you guys can come up and hang out with me when I get back.
There is more to what I am going through, but please don't speculate or comment on that.

SQUAD is complete
She will be at the New England Chiefs Show @ The Big E Fairgrounds this weekend.

With the new Interceptors just beginning to appear in our area, and the interest they seem to be genearting, we thought we'd share this recent delivery.
Specialty Warning Systems in Danbury CT recently delivered its first new Ford Interceptor Utility to the Wilton CT Police Department. The result of many months of transition planning with the WPD, the new Utility, assigned as the patrol sergeant’s vehicle, is the first of five Interceptors for Wilton, the remaining four being sedans, which are currently underway.
The warning system is all Whelen LED incorporating a Liberty WeCan lightbar, Vertex HideAways in the sides of the headlight housings, four HideAway LEDs in the rear taillights, 400 series and IONs on the Setina pushbumper and a six head Dominator in the rear window.
The center console is a Havis Interceptor specific unit containing dual cup holders, 12V power outlets, flip up armrest, Whelen controller and department radio. It also carries a Panasonic dock with a CF30 Toughbooks laptop and Zebra mobile printer.
As patrol supervisors do not transport prisoners, there is no rear partition or containment system but a custom cargo compartment command cabinet, for scene control, is planned for the near future.
We have enjoyed a long and co-operative working relationship with the Wilton PD, appreciate their confidence in us and look forward to providing their service and new vehicle conversions for many years to come.

Some photos I got at the parade...
(This photo is slighly blurry, sorry about that..)
Bedford Hills New E-199**edit** I also have a photo of 57, it's not very good, but if one of the BHFD members would like it, or anyone else, feel free to....PM!

I think Westchester County needs a more organized Response structure.
For Example a 10-75 or working fire response should look like this:
4 Engines
2 Ladders
1 Fast Truck - With chief from department of designated Fast team.
3 or 2 chiefs depending on availability.
2nd Alarm assignment should look something like this:
WCDES Field Communications
3 Additional engines
2 Trucks
1 Rescue/Utility
And a 2nd Alarm Chief
Safety chief
3rd Alarm
2 additional Engines
1 Truck
Mask Service Unit
2 Chiefs
Rehab vehicle
WCDES Support Unit ( if available)
This is just a rough outline
Please i would like some input on all of your thoughts good and bad.
