Mohegan Vac New 69B2

[prucha25 76]

Recently Mohegan VAC took delivery of a 2009 Ford Lifeline Ambulance. The ambulance will be formally dedicated on January 24th 2008, in memory of our former Board of Director Robert Landsman who passed last year.

Looks nice good luck with it. We should be getting ours soon. How many ambulances do you guys have and is the explorer in the pic a paramedic fly car or a bls fly car just wondering thanks.

The expedition in the picture is 6905, our BLS fly car.

The bls fly car (6905) is used as a utility for the VAC for duty crew members, who are available, and is also used by the officers when they are around so they can respond directly to the scenes to assist/set up ems command.

If this is a FD run ambulance, at what point does NFPA 1901 come info effect, ie. Chevron Striping, Lighting, Data Recording, ect. I understand that this vehicle was manufactured prior to the 1/1/09 update, and that there are federal KKK standards for ambulances, but NFPA is supposed to cover all fire equipment, including support vehicles.

It is a seperate entity from the FD...The VAC "technically" has no connection with the FD. The MVFA-VAC has the name because it became a VAC after the Mohegan Rescue Squad seperated from the FD in 1999 and now is it's seperate organization, though its quarters are with LMFD HQ and the membership overlaps to some degree, it has its own command staff, Bylaws/SOP's, Board of Directors, and so forth. The rigs do not fall under NFPA rules/regs due to it not being associated with the FD.

Thanks to everyobody who answered my question. Sorry for all the questions but I have one more if you join the fd can you go on the "VAC" calls or no you have to be in the "VAC" to go on their calls.

[99subi 121]

You have to be in the VAC to make calls with them, i for one am not so i can not go on VAC calls only fire side for me

Oh okay thanks.

I didn't think that Mohegan VAC was associated with the FD? In Somers our FD runs the ambulances so all members can go on EMS calls.

Not meaning to derail, but are there minimum requirements to go on EMS calls, like MRT, EMT-B, etc.?

Unfortunately, no - other than having a CPR card you can play on an ambulance. NYS says you need an EMT-B minimum to care for the patient, thats about it.

This always ruffles some feathers within the hard line EMS only community but there are NFPA standards that apply to EMS agencies that are not FD based. In regard to ambulance construction I do believe the NFPA has a standard that has applications to it, but it is stand alone and fits with the triple K standards.

[ny10570 745]

Everything NFPA currently has for ambulances is covered in KKK, which manufacturers generally stick to. That will however change as NFPA is planning an EMS committee.

I like the Lifeline Amb. Def a toss up with Horton... who also has a real nice Amb...
