Look into MEDIX They had a type 3 at the Chiefs show for 129k

With FID on the line and I see a request for bids for an "Enclosed Pilot House Motor Boat" with bids due on 12/15. Posted by Dutchess County in the Beacon Free Press anyone have an idea

City of Newburgh Firefighter Union has an idea to provide ambulance services to the City of Newburgh. In a TH article here is the link. "New ambulance service would make money", chief says http://www.recordonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20100531/NEWS/5310318

The city is usually empty during the summer isn't it? People are upstate and out on Long Island. There main problem was cost. The DOH staff at Vitals Signs would say they could not find a location that they could keep the cost around the same price. They finally did it.

Here is another reason to take the keys. The ambulance was recovered. http://www.midhudsonnews.com/News/2009/November09/30/Diescher_ambul_arr-30Nov09.htm

The City of Beacon is looking to close,disband Station 1. The council has started the process. This would leave the city with one engine and ladder with the engine on the other side of Beacon. These are the politicians that spent millions to buy land for open space. More to follow

Thanks Bill,

Two New Paltz Police cars collided while responding to a call. NPFD had to use the jaws and they were flown to Albany Medical center. The officers are expected to recover. http://www.midhudsonnews.com/News/2009/Jul...ash-31Jul09.htm

I just got word that one of the officers K-9 partners Zeus did not survive injuries from the crash. RIP

I have been around people who have been convicted for DWI,drugs and for perjury. DOH did follow up on these people, but they all self reported to the DOH. I have read newspaper article on an EMT in the Albany that did time for manslaughter. Would I like a thief or stoner for a partner? Hard question to answer.

Another urban legend is born. There could have been gas or oil exposed clothing not yet removed. The DOH should tell the tail.

sweet ride Nice work to the truck committee

One of the things they will play with is the CO training the "talk" is for Limited amount of Classes for this year. This will put a strain on staffing as the year goes on. Also the Layoffs usually create more OT as they slash through the department.

What is more distrubing is the report I read on ABC online. There is no MEDIVAC in that area? http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/Movies...9585&page=1

I came across a recall notice for Welch Allyen AED 10 has anyone heard about problems with these units? http://www.welchallyn.com/support/customer/AED_lookup.jsp

Good Sam has CMEs on the first Monday of the month. Always good.

Started to look around for a computer to use in the ambulances. Found several vendors and started to get pricing. I know there are some people on this forum who worked with rugged computers in or out of EMS. Your 2 cent will be helpful. Thanks

Yea I got several good leads on vendors and pick up on two makers that I have not heard of. Thanks to all who gave an opinion on what works and what doesn't. The main reason is for PCR's we started to use EMS charts as a database and love it we want to take it to the next level. The main problem is while everyone can tell you the best laptop they have no idea on a rugged system. I has seen a lot of the vendors offers a "XP downgrade" Vista is that bad? Thanks again for all the input.

Which gate you talkin about? The one you walk thur or the one the boys on the buses use?

Well there are 3 more fire districts in the town beside Rombout. Glenham, Chelesa and Dutchess Junction. The only ambulance tax district is the Rombout fire district.

MSNBC took the word for word story off the AP http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/S/SEX...EMPLATE=DEFAULT Send the bad ones to prision and never tolerate that behavior. Turn them in.

The question should be how many people are transported and nothing happen. The lawyer who has a lawsuit working will paint all EMS as a bunch of perves. The question is how much of a % of rest of the population are sex abusers. EMS must not tolerate this behavior but they must also protect the workers.

Matteawan State Hospital Now Fishkill Correctional Has a Fire Truck sitting in their station. They also have a small van red with lights for the Fire and Safety Officer to use.
