Upcoming Storm 1/25/2026

memorymaster · Jan 22, 2026

Regarding the upcoming winter storm will NYC EMS go into Def-Con mode? 24 on, nothing off, 15 to 1 relief and other catastrophic requirements. Just being facetious, but, that's always how it seemed. lol

Baloney, as soon as there is a vacancy on a line unit there goes the Aide. They say this every snow storm and it hardly, if ever, works out.

Sure, confirmed subect to immediate change, for as they say, The Good Of The Service. Remember, you can't spell mess without an E M or S.

Or just put more ambulances on the street. I believe the new commissioner knows, and is working on this. She knows the issues. The RRV’s are a waste.

Well I was told there is no am ambulances even if they wanted to put more in

I was told that there were 475 EMS personnel who called on sick during the length of the storm. I have no way of confirming such, but, if so, that really shoots down their striving for pay increases, better working conditions, etc. They shot the whole service right in the ... with that move. Coreect me if i'm mistaken about this number.
