? About this fire.. Did the ansul system in the kitchen activate? From the looks of it, it don't look like it?

haha you absolultely right uncle ang lol...

Those people on that committee are in for a rude awakening as to my knowledge not one of them has any background in safety prevention.. And code laws.. With the exception of luis marino who's is currently a past captain of mellor hose, on the other hand I hope it works out because we have a huge overcrowding in apartments here in port chester.. BUT we will see..as an officer of the fire dept this is the first I haerd of it

March we did 191 for the month.. But july,august,september were very busy as well

Port Chester Fire Dept exceptionally high 1261 with no ems, up from 981 in 2009

These are empress paramedics in YFD fly cars with firefighter driveing them.. Try getting around yonkers in this storm impossible

wow cant remember the last time i never got a cross street from 60.... is this guy for real or what>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I agree very strongly with that statement, the accident happened at 4pm. By the time they reached me it was 4:20 and they called the helicopter. By the time they got me out and to the road we still had to wait about 10-15 mins for the helicopter to arrive. They had to shut down the Taconic cause that's were they landed the helicopter. I was BLS critera acording to NYS protocols. STAT-flight charges at that time i believe $195 per mile and it was $8000 alone in fuel. <BR><BR>I hope this story opens up EMS providers eyes about being so quick to call for medivac during hard times and not because they dont wanna drive an extra 10-15 mins to the trauma center ER.

Well as for someone who can say.. i was in a ATV accident about 3 years ago in Putnam valley , i was flown from Putnam valley to WMC and the cost of that ride was not covered by my health insurance or my ATV insurance the cost was pretty hefty i wanna say at that time it was about $14,375.. but i was given the utmost best care i have ever received in my life and i thank god for that... now a days i just don't know if anybody could afford to be flown even if they are in seriously injured.. i only walked away with a few scratches and torn muscle in my back i was discharged about 4 hours later .. i can say i do believe i could have been taken by ambulance but due to the MOI. i believe it gets overlooked because all i can remember was hearing the medic as he approached before he even made patient contact was fly the helicopter.. unless you really need a medivac i do not believe they should be used

They both assisted... Very little extrication was needed we pulled the person out they used the cutters and spreaders to open the door.. Esu has tools on them its sort of who get there first..

What would you like to know???? I can help you out

Who are you to degrade any service.... And how do you know it wasn't busy in **** and they couldn't send any units ? Do you know the facts? And reasoning why they couldn't send an ambulance...????

Could it be that the agency that was called was extremely busy covering there first due response area???... A lot could have played factor in this... Glad everyone was safe though great job done by all

Rip brothers my thoughts and prayers are with thier family's and the tarrytown fd

Could be most of the ambulances sent were all ALS buses except 2 of then which medics rode in on and were manned at the time soo they were called...

All empress employess.. Man was it hot that day phewwww.. Lol

If I'm not mistaken all new apparatus now need chevrons, it just following the rules

Its supposed to be a special operations vehicle but.. What classifsy it to be a special ops vehicle.. Do they carry hazmat gear?

yes this is true empress wil be there 7 days a week from 7am-7pm, with 2 emts , one emt will go on a job with a volunteer who is a roster crew and the other with stay back in case they get hit with a second job or in the most serious case if there is a serious job the 2 empress emts will take the bus and mohegan vacs crew will meet them there. mohegan is a very great corps and myself am looking foward to working with them to give them a helpin hand that i here is much needed.. as for the white plains there in not truth to that at all transcare has that contract..

i currently am employed at empress and i can tell you for sure that TRANSCARE is not going to be in yonkers, RUMORS,RUMORS,RUMORS. SETH MAKES GREAT POINTS IN HIS SAYINGS..............

im not nit picking im just saying thats my opinon.. how are they going to say ohh you have equipment missing, deduction.. theres a reason for stuff not being there

Quote

"16- Missing equipment will be subject to three (3) demerits each."

How do they know whats missing?

How about an empty bracket, that might give it away.

im sorry but i thought the reason we spend all the money on there fire trucks and aparratus is to work on fire scenes and get memebrrs there safely.. not to look pretty in a parade granted winning a trohpy is great .i can tell you i had missing equipment on my truck at the parade cause we had a fire on tuesday and i had to take my chainsaw out of service.. sorry but im not gunna rush a piece of equipment to go back in servie soo it can fill and open spot in my compartment..

wow... reminds me of my rig ladder 31 in port chester same cab, same body style same setup of rig. except .the extended bumper.. awesome looking truck

. using a ladder pipe in a brush fire wires down enviroment is not the smartest thing to do espically from the looks of it that you had a man up there. if that water hits those wires there is nothing between you or the ground except a long steel ladder.. many traing officers and seminars on ladder operations.. adisve not to go within 10-15 ft of hot wires at all.. great job k.o the fire just not a smart idea using the stick with a man on it with live wires down

i was onscene with the ambulance 2 mins after the first due engine pulled up. i have nice shots. i just need help how to put them on
