GOODMAN/MALOIT

[PEMO3 523]

I wonder if Mayor Bloomerberg found his shovel yet because I don't think his scooters feeding him streaming video are going to help him when it hit the fan this time. They still have not picked all the garbage up from Christmas in some neighborhoods yet.

damn

[ems-buff 81]

So here are some big questions,

1)If and this is a big if.... If this was a slow down by the NYC sanitation, why did they do it, did they get what they wanted ( I believe they are the highest paid, and well respected union in the city), and what are the chances of it happening again..

2) Did the FDNY*EMS learn its lession. They are one of the largest EMS organization in the US, yet units half there size use chains... How hard would it be to put them on each unit..

3) Will Mayor doomburg resign.... I hope, I hope, I hope....

According to Mayor Bloomy "You can not put chains on ambulances because it will destroy the chassis" during his press conference last week

According to Mayor Bloomy "You can not put chains on ambulances because it will destroy the chassis" during his press conference last week

Yes and no. A busted chain will chew up a wheel well if not addressed but and this is a big but, you need personnel trained to put them on and drive with them. Driving with chains is not like driving with regular tires. Too much torque and you will snap a chain. Then they need to know how to address a broken section, how many broken sections you can still drive with before you have to take the set off, etc, etc, etc. This is not something that can be fixed overnight. They might be able to stud the tires quicker and with less headaches. Also, chains are not a cure all, if the snow is to deep, chains are not going to do you any good.

I call bull**** on that.... Let be real here.. If the drivers go above 30mph( which should be the maximum speed for driving an emergency vehicle in these weather conditions anyways) YES I'm sure the chains will pop off cause all kinds of scratches on the paint scheme of the pretty ambulance, and may blow a tire or two.. But atlest its better then abandoning your rig!!! O_o...

Well all the money NYC gets, and yes they get a lot... You mean to tell me they can't stock up on 4x4 ambulances.. Peekskill vac has one... I hear that thing is a beast in the snow.. Just goes to show EMS will once again never be a major component in emergency services..

I hear anywhere from a dusting to 2 feet

I will let you know the accumulations on Thursday morning!!!
