    I guess maybe I'm just getting old and cold. You want to shoot up and OD, well that's the chance you take. It may be a cool new toy to play with, but its my ever increasing tax dollars at work. Save 'em so we can save 'em again next weekend. Eventually you just need to let Darwin do his work.

    I thought Suffolk County NY and I am sure State of Massachusetts PD's are using IN Narcan with much success? Maybe it is Suffolk Mass I am hearing of. Guess tht famous scene from "Bringing out the dead" will soon be obsolete!!

    Coming soon to a Kindle near you: "Hurt Feelings on the Fire Floor" a novel co-authored by folks who have gotten on the job via court order rather than merit ... So sad.

    Thanks for posting. Moved to New Mexico after 32 years with the Mt Kisco Independents. It was great to watch. I'd like to think I would have been in the line had I still been there.

    Oh for the love of god this should be apart of the LPN/RN curriculum. I can't even think. How many times ive gone for the "abnormal labs or X-rays" or whatever reason it may be and we go to the skilled nursing (which needs a name change) priority 1 were met by the facility Dr and he states "Dr John smoe is awhere your coming". Uhm Dr why we bypassing 3 hospitals to
    go 30 mins away? This isn't a 911 emergency call 1-800-AMR and schedule a transfer. Dont waste the 911 car for these events.

    Hopefully he (or she) "earned their way up the ranks" to get more than a truck!
    If the truck is the motivation we are all well and thoroughly screwed!

    This drill is in its 8th year---FDNY has set the standard as to what IT wants for ANY mutual aid form ANY department. FDNY has desiginiated Westchester departments to cover the BRONX nothing more. Yonkers Raceway is the stageing area. OFPC with the help of WCDES Field Com checks the TRAINING RECORDS participents to make sure they meet the standard that FDNY has set. then they are given assigements and are escorted into the city.
    Todays drill went off smoothly with the help of OEM and OFPC.
    Citi Field is another staging area that uses Long Island companies that will cover Queens.
    Is is my understanding that a third staging area is being developed on Staten Island for Coverage from NJ units. ALL participents must meet the FDNY standard.

    Or All departments that meet the minimum training and staffing requirements as established by FDNY and OFPC. Since it is their drill to exersize their plan and the state mobilization plan.
