@farooqmm1987 .....yes they do... You haven't seen LAFD ambulances? My county and the county next to me has their fire department control their ambulances. So in Station 6, there would be Henrico Fire Engine 6 and Henrico FIRE Medic 6. Many departments do that.

-typical reactions, no one gives a shit, unless its them or someone they care about. Then they file a law suit claiming that ems took too much time to get there.

@farooqmm1987 Come to think of it, I would say it being cost effective may have something to do with it. I was going to work for FDNY EMS and even took the Physical and was interviewed...I decided not to because of how little they pay their EMT's, which gives you an idea of the small budget they are working with. I heard from some Paramedics that the Ambulance's contracted with the Hospital's doing transports pay their EMT's the best actually.

[farooqmm1987]

@Zucc60 yh maybe, it could be that merging the 2 emergency deparments is cost effective. it was just weird seeing an ambulance with FDNY on it, considering that is the initials of the fire department. i live in london, and if i saw an ambulance on it with "london fire brigade", i would really think that was strange! lol.

@farooqmm1987 Not sure what the point was but NY does have private Ambulance companies as well. Also neighboring cities/towns have private Ambulance companies. Maybe they decided to make them FDNY because it makes communications between Fire & EMS easier...not sure though...

[farooqmm1987]

@Zucc60 but what was the whole point of placing an ambulance service under the control of a fire department? this is unique to NY, right? the LAFD do not control the LA ambulance service.
