    SVB was one of the best chiefs we ever had. Great fire commander, teacher. A no nonsene ,straight to the point kind of person. AND he cared about his men.

    I don't think people are trying to stir the pot, just offering their opinoins.

    TransCare has never gone to the city of Poughkeepsie. They have driven through plenty of times to go to the hospital. They had a patient exscape once on route 9 in the city but never responded to a alarm in the city. please post facts.....

    Did you not understand that Southern Dutchess County was getting hammered during the storm? There was a thought process that included officials from Beacon, and Dutchess County 911. It worked well!

    Can someone explain to me why Hughsonville would be the second due fast team to Highland? What about City Of Pok, Fairview, Arlington, New Hamburgh or even Kingston could be there in 10 minutes with a quick trip down the thruway. I understand Marlboro is the first due and if they are not available Hughsonville is next? That is absolutey ridiculous, I understand the whole concept of not taking away all resources from the airway but isnt the Fast Team a very important team that is needed at the scene. I am sure that if you took one of the other teams that is much closer it would not have hurt the areas. I could be wrong about this but it just seems to me that having a department come from 20 minutes away is a little bit much. Just my opinion and I could be way off base but maybe someone can explain. And before anyone gets all pissed I am not bad mouthing Hughsonville by anymeans. They were called and they responded and they are just doing what they were asked to do.

    I agree with Fireguy43,well said.
    It's ok to ask questions, but make sure you get the correct answers from someone who was involved in the incident.
    Don't guess, or speculate. Go ask a Chief, or an officer from that Dept.

    Don't really care what it says on the ambulance or what they should be called . I could care less if its a paid service or volunteer service. The more important issue is the response times, and the ability to cover 2nd, and 3rd calls.
    Everything else is trivial .
