What's with the 2 light bars on the back of that truck?

I would hardly say they are getting the best care possible.

What exactly is this vehicle used for?

Isn't a motorist legally entitled to this info and to see the radar gun?

How exactly are non-FDNY ambulances incorporated into the NYC 911 system?

On rare occasions I have seen drivers using them to say "Move your car!" while responding.

Two options: At the bottom of the posting page there is a File Attachments field. Add an attachment of a photo and it should be embedded at the bottom of your post. The second option would require you to host the picture on an external site (such as www.imageshack.us) and then embed it using [img]File URL[/img]

I don't like it. What a strange lighting package.

I created a pdf version for anyone without word.

The cop got there remarkably quick.

I'm not necessarily defending this type of policy, but some VACs might use lights and sirens on a nonemergency calls because they only have one bus and they need to get to and from the hospital as quickly as possible in order to cover their district.

If this is approved state wide, would nonrockland residents be entitled to ride their local public transportation for free as well?

Any one know the company that produces these devices? I'm thinking they would be a good company to invest in.

Yes, but if you limited for space and just use VAC, I don't think most people would get it.

Perhaps some corps are making this change because EMS is a more recognized term to the public. Most people are familiar with what EMS stands for but I know for a fact many people do not have a clue what VAC stands for.

Anyone know of a place in Westchester that would be able to replace my Minitor V housing? I broke my belt clip.

I found an eBay auction with a replacement belt clip. Think this would work?

I'm not very familiar with tech rescue...what would the lumber be used for?

Although unrelated to any cause, Ben and Jerry's will be offering free cones tomorrow from noon to 8 pm.

With all of the rain we just got I thought this video would be appropriate. A today show reporter is in a kyak to protect her self from the flooded waters, when two men go walking by. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N61CHeVMGsU

The image onthis page shows how these work. Very neat idea.

Aren't highway units usually marked with Highway Patrol or something?

I would take the course at WCC but all of their courses over the summer are three nights a week and I can only commit to two. I know this a dumb question but you can only receive college credit for the course if its taken at a college right?

If anyone had any info on courses on Westchester/surrounding area that would be good too.

In Ardsley, the police always ride in back if the patient is in custody.
