FDNY EMS To Cancel contract for out of state training after disagreement.

What Should have been a week of useful training turned into a Major fight between FDNY EMS command and the Out of state Training agency. Although sources High in the FDNY tried to cover the failed week up, this reporter/writer was approached by several EMT’s And Medic’s of the FDNY. The training event was the Brain child of Some Chiefs high in the FDNY-EMS command one source told us.

There were three of them, Sitting in this room eating donuts and trying to figure out what to do next to screw with the work force and keep their own jobs, stated one of sources. Give them a extra 15 minutes to log on, then take the 15 minutes from them, give them tablets that never connect to the wireless network and tell them they cant go home until all paperwork is up loaded. They were really brain storming hard. Then they had a idea, something that no one ever thought of before. Lets try to help Our EMT’s and Medics for the better, instead of screwing with them and writing them up. I swear you could have heard angels singing, right then then source said. Some of the EMS Member began to cry tears of joy with that comment, but could it be done?

The three figured something out, while NYC has trained and has plans for every disaster one can think of, there is one thing no one is ready for. A farm accident, the lack of farms in the 5 Boroughs makes it hard to train. There are a few, but nothing on a grand scale. That’s when one Chief sent to Lancaster Pennsylvania, home of the worlds biggest farming community. A deal was worked out for a one week training program that included a hotel stay at the Amish inn, right on the farmland.

The first 7 EMT’s and Medics Showed up and that’s when things went downhill fast. A source included in the first group told us “We checked in and nothing worked. The rooms were hot, the air conditioner .and the lights didn’t turn on, the fans would turn on. It was apparent the staff knew from the amount of candles in the hotel, when we complained that our rooms had no electricity the staff just looked at us funny and laughed. Still we dealt with it”

When the unlucky 7 arrived at the farm with their rescue tools, they could not find a outlet that was working to train with their rescue tools. Unable to rest comfortable in the outdated Amish inn was one thing, but not be able to train was a total waste of time. That’s when they called home and were told to return by the chief of the Dept.

After several phone calls the Amish have refused to return the $3.75 they were paid per employee for the room and training. The top chief in charge has made it clear the FDNY will not return for training until the inn and farms owner has a qualified electrician check the problem with the power supply. The Amish continue to laugh at that demand in the face of the FDNY. So there it is, while their the best in the world with everything else try not to have a farm accident if visiting the greatest city with the greatest EMS system in the world! The Amish Inn would not answer their phone for a official comment at the time this report was published.
