The latest genius from the FDNY is to consider 7 man paramedic engine companies staffed by

4 FF CFR-D

1 FF/Paramedic

1 FF/EMT-D

and 1 officer.

The other is to have Lieutenants ride as Paramedic units with EMT partners.

It is all detailed in the "FDNY Strategic Plan" so check out this link:

http://www.nyc.gov/html/fdny/insider/strat...007/index.shtml

All FDNY EMT's should see this for what it truly is. An attempt to eliminate all non Medics from the system and privatize or contract out the BLS transport units.

Read further into it and you will see the plan to have FF keep their EMT or medic, and for a requirement that EMS officers be Medics. This is step one to have an all Paramedic FDNY with NO BLS personnel or units.

Stay safe. My thoughts are my own and do not represent my agency or Dept.
