About two or three months ago a reporter and a photographer for a local magazine (Rockland Magazine) to do a ride-along with our corps (she was told to go to us because we're the county's busiest.) So she decided to ride along on a Friday night 12-hour shift, aka "the motherload." She also was in the EMT class at the local community college, "out of curiousity and respect."

Rockland Magazine said:"What does it take to save lives at 88 miles an hour? Our reporter signed on, suited up, and found out … it's more than bandages and CPR."
The ambulance barrels down Route 306 in Monsey, siren wailing, red and white lights flashing like strobes through the darkened windows of middle-class homes. It's 11:35 p.m.—just a few hours into my shift—and though not a soul strolls the tree-lined sidewalk, a few pull curtains aside to watch us whiz by. But, for some reason, the siren sounds softer inside the cabin-maybe because my mind is somewhere else.
