FDNY*EMS (Still the best despite FDNY's gross incompetence)
THIS IS THE EXCITING WORLD OF EMS
This is the exciting world of the Emergency Medical Service. EMS agencies across the globe have an amazing array of specialized services that can be called upon to assist in any number of specialized rescue situations. From tactical medical support for law enforcement to dive teams, bike medics, K-9 search and rescue, fully equipped Haz Mat operations teams, high angle rescue, medical helicopter transport, mounted EMS units, and heavy rescue squads.

Yes this the exciting world of EMS everywhere except New York City. While FDNY EMS EMTs and Paramedics provide the best pre-hospital care with the recourses available, the truth is, because of FDNY and the City of New York we are far behind the rest of the world in providing the wide range of EMS services that are offered by even the most rural EMS agencies.

Of course what else can you expect when the New York City Fire Department chose not to keep any of their initial promises regarding their takeover of NYC EMS.
As you can see from the above document the City of New York and the New York City Fire Department couldn't keep the most basic promises to the people who live in New York City. The public has been shortchanged and the worst part is that people have no idea that this has gone on for so long. This website should serve as a warning to the public and all other independent EMS systems across the globe. Be wary of Fire Departments who tell your department and your citizens that they will help streamline your EMS system. These Fire Departments who want to come riding to the rescue of your EMS service should be viewed with the utmost suspicion. Before we were taken over by FDNY we had some people view FDNY riding to our "rescue" as a white night on a horse. However those of us who were smart realized the Grim Reaper also rode a horse. It turns out FDNY was the reaper and the "merger" was our Waterloo. If you do not listen to our story and heed our words you may suffer our fate. The website begins with a history of EMS and you will then learn about life at FDNY EMS. Enjoy.
