We used to call ours either the "box" or plain jane ambulance. But outside of ear range we called it the "s***box", or the "meat wagon"

That's quite O.K. Truckie1245, We have a couple of choice names for the FDNY:

They are in no particular order:

1. Bucket Fairies

2. E.D.U. (police term Evidence Destruction Unit's)

3. F@#$in' Dummies of New York

4. (I like Dusts) Fire Monkeys

5. U. B.R.T.'s (pronounced EUBERT; Useless Big Red Trucks (on EMS calls only)

6. Monkeys with Axes

etc. As you said usually out of earshot, but I had one partner bless his soul who used to announce at the top of his lungs. "Ohh thanks God, the Bucket Fairies are here, we are saved".

As you can expect, that went over well....

And just to reiterate and explain, I think the FDNY does a Great job fighting fires, I just don't think they run a quality EMS system, or want to run a quality EMS system.

IMHO

Thats all. As always my thoughts are my own and do not represent my agency or Dept.

The BUCKET FAIRIES? I love it!

:lol: =D> :blob6:

I now know what's going to kill me... I'm not going to be able to restrain myself around my FF buddies and that'll be all she wrote...

I can see it now... *opens door: Hey, it's the bucket fairies! Come on in, guys...*

Maybe i'm just old fashioned, but i call mine a ambulance. On the air we are called by our 3 digit number.

Dispatch:

Unit 666 respond to the trailer park.

See the man with bubbles, trouble unkown.

That is all.
