This is just another example of the County Executive Astorino saying one thing and doing another. He wants to make all these promises, he needs to keep them. 

Here's what I heard on the radio:
60 Control repeatedly asking 73-B-2, Sleepy Hollow Ambulance their status, 73-B-2 repeatedly advising awaiting an EMT, an obviously and rightfully frustrated 60 Control dispatcher advising them they are at the 30 minute mark, 73-B-2 still not responding or requesting mutual aid. 5 minutes later, 73-B-2 advised 60 Control per Sleepy Hollow PD, they (Sleepy Hollow PD) are going to be requesting mutual aid, they are going back into quarters. 27 minutes later, Irvington 64-B-2 is on scene. So about an hour for an ambulance to arrive.
What happened there? Maybe I missed the call type. Probably just simply a poorly trained or ignorant member? Why did 73-B-2 wait so long that the PD had to directly request mutual aid? Does a 60 Control dispatcher have authority to override a unit? I would guess no because this dispatcher obviously given his tone would have done so. Sleepy Hollow PD got to override them directly thankfully. 35 minutes 73-B-2 waited for an EMT before they were told to stand down.

They sure did. They ruined one of the best EMS departments around with some of the best EMT'S & Medic's I ever worked with for over 10 years. A lot 
of peoples lives changed due to Transcare coming into  Montefiore (Our Lady Of Mercy) and destroying  that department. It was a end of an era. 

This is the company that lowballed Montefiore and destroyed Our Lady Of Mercy EMS, which was a great EMS service, putting profits over people, and causing people to lose good paying, stable hospital jobs.

Answer? Consolidation. Mount Pleasant EMS (Hawthorne, Valhalla, Sleepy Hollow, and Pleasantville)

Has anyone heard about WCDES developing requirements for a FAST?
If so, what would they be and how would they be enforced?
