I'm gaining valuable experience that will benefit me in FDNY EMS and/or NYC Hospital EMS

Sandpit I was mainly saying how no more 89s due to the recent attacks on Paris. That's one of NYCs measures that we are taking. Some EMS folks feel we are a bigger target if we are all hanging at the base as opposed to being at 89s

Did you know hospitals pay $1m/year to participate in the FDNY 911 system? http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052748703493504576007743046682606

We have them at our volly Came in handy when the driver deployed us EMTs we jumped over a barrier to an mva while the ambulance drove around and met us on the other side My issue with drivers is they don't drive an ambulance for a living, and the only experience these drivers are getting is...

In NYC, 911 ambulances are to be deployed from the hospital or base for the next few days. No more sitting at 89s (designated intersections) around town. So we got to most of the calls first as a local volunteer ambulance.

No one gets paid at our volly

I hear NJ vollies get dispatched 911

Just saying that's how it's done at the private I work at, not saying it's the same for all other privates. Just one example. One thing is certain: there's no extensive training that's conducted for months like FDNY EMS academy. It consists of: - Working IFT for 3-6+ months - Passing a 70...

I'm talking about the process of how an EMT or Medic would switch from IFT to 911 within the same company

Bed stuy is gentrifying. 2nd East New York and Brownsville. Bronx is so busy their trying to get more units. Transcare runs a lot of the 911 under different hospitals i.e. Bronx Lebanon, mount Sinai, st barnabus, etc just look for the Velcro patches it's probably Transcare
