Noticed two cars in teh EMS rundown:
Car 5M : EMS Response Physician
Car 5M9 : EMS Response Physician

Does anyone know who these doctors are?
FDNY BHS Medical Officers are usually in car numbers in the 30's. Are these FDNY medical officers. or hospital physicians?

Full time FDNY Physicians not BHS Physicians (Car 32 / 33). All Emergency Medicine doctors. They are assigned automatically on the transmission of certain signals. Additionally they deploy with the FDNY component of the USAR NYTF1 team and the SOC Task Force. When not assigned to respond they assist in teaching the Paramedic program as well as having medical oversight / Quality Assurance and Continuing Medical Education responsibilities either in HQ or the Boroughs. Very valuable individuals to have at the scene.
