I heard that the county was planning on revamping the diversion procedures. No more than 4 hospitals could be on diversion at one time and no two hospitals that lay next to each other could be on diversion at the same time. (i.e. Phelps and Dobbs Ferry) I also heard that someone from the county has to go to the hospital and approve it to go on diversion.

Does anyone know any details on this?

I know many departments are toned out by their PD's. I know it would take some getting used to, but 60 Control probably could handle it.

I'm not totally sure about this, but if I'm not mistaken, Tarrytown FD used to be paged by 60 Control, but then got their own frequency (156.225). Maybe rreimund could comment on this.

I know there would be confusion as to wheter to pull over or not, but either way you have to. I have seen POs in fly-cars pull people over, but I have yet to see an ambulance pull someone over.

A heard a rumor that the county was going to revamp the diversion plans. No more than 4 hospitals could be on diversion at once and that two hospitals that lay next to each other cannot be on diversion at the same time (i.e. Phelps and Dobbs Ferry).

Does anyone know if this is true?

i spoke to one of my friends who works for stiloskis towing. the red lights on the truck in the picture for that exact purpose, just the picture. the light bar on top is also there just for the picture. The red lights on the front are clear now and are running lights. he also said that the air bags are capable of flipping both a tractor and trailer at the same time.

besides the rescue, stiloski has light, medium, and heavy tow trucks, flat beds, flat bed tractor trailers, a generator truck, some HELP trucks, and a few boats.

If anyones ever seen Stiloskis yard (and the surrounding sts) on Wildey St in Tarrytown, you can see that they have alot of equipment. They have a major contract for the thruway, they have HELP trucks on I-684, and a few towboats for the Hudson River (Hudson River Recovery). A while back, his boat made it out Someone who jumped of the Tappan Zee before Tarrtown's Marine 5 made it out. By the way, The person survived.

They also have a few ALS flycars operated civilans and PO's. Greenburgh usually saves the buses for the town itself and the flycars for the villages. (Ardsley-Secor, Elmsford, Dobbs Ferry, Hastings, Irvington, and Tarrytown) However, it isnt unusual to see a rig in one of the villages.

Since some of the medics are cops, you can get pulled over by them.

Yea, you should learn from training, but training wont really help unless you get out in the field and use, face it stabilizing fractures on manicans or other people isnt close to actually stabilizing a fracture who really has one or stopping an arterial bleed on somene who isnt even bleeding. Its not the same, training and real life situations are 2 totally different things. Now, im not saying that juniors should jump calls or need to have pagers, but this is why some of us fight so hard.

I know we have to "earn our wings" and then we can get our pagers. I joined a month after my 14th B-Day and my 17th B-Day is fast approaching. ive waited eagerly for 2 1/2 years to be able to ride, let alone get a pager. Once i turn seventeen, i can ride, a wait well worth it. When the time comes for us go on jobs, hopefully our training will pay off.

Congrats =D>

Good Luck with it

Personally, I believe Brauns are pretty good rigs. We use them in Tarrytown. 81-B1 is a 2004 Ford F-450 SuperDuty and 81-B2 is a 1998 Ford F-350 Powerstroke. Both run pretty well. Our past rig, a Ford F-350, is now being used by Tarrytown PD as some sort of Mobile Command Unit. Tarrytown PD also has our 1988 Ford (Horton, I believe) in service as a prisoner transport.

10 Truck - Manhattan i believe

37 Truck - Bronx

129 Truck - Queens

Engine 46 - Bronx

Engine 76, 77, 78, 79 Bronx, 80

Engine 273 - Queens

*Not exactly sure on the boroughs except E-46, E-79, L-37

I dont believe that juniors need pagers, but I think it would be nice if they did. Again, the issue of leaving school for alarms is raised again, some kids are mature enough, others aren't. If my VAC would let us ride before the age of 17 and we were allowed to have pagers, I would definitely love to have one, but i could always just use my parents pager, and as it is we have a l very limited supply of pagers for the regular membership as it is. Being an officer of the Junior Corps, I think it would be cool if we could have a pager, and if something big goes done where we are needed (yeah right!!) then then the officers would make phone calls.

A round of applause to all departments involved. You guys kept a bad situation from getting even worse.

Was Tarrytown FD ever paged out for standby any where?
