I've been out of the EMS game in NYC a long time, but 12R was the closest ALS unit for this job?

No, there are closer rescue units, but they were unavailable.

No, there are closer rescue units, but they were unavailable.

So a regular line medic unit can be sitting around the corner and not get assigned in order to assign a rescue unit from Manhattan?

 

[memorymaster]

Kid, I believe it. I called for a Rescue Medic unit one night for an impending gas explosion in a large building. The unit was not that far away and I was told by the dispatcher, "You already have an ALS unit on scene." Just the opposite of what you questioned.

No, they assign both

288 and 270 got new turnout gear? View attachment 40771

I believe that is their technical rescue gear. Does not replace the regular turnout gear, it just is used for rescues

I think all SOC companies have this gear.

Been around for a while now, here's a post from 2019 and it was even a few years old back then.

New PPE?

Saw some pictures today at the dedication of the playground in Queens for Lt. Davidson and saw some guys with Squad 288 coats on that looked a little unusual. Is that the new PPE they are issuing now? Anyone know how it is holding up?
