Tonight marks 211 weeks since the theft of ballistic ("bullet proof") vests from the NY Ukrainian ctr. Despite cops having video of burglars and veh's, there's no (public) ID, no arrests, no recovery. That's the Tweet. See you next week. Same Bat Channel
@NYCFireWire ...sir what year do you think it is? Smile for me real wide and squeeze both my hands, alright?
Because that's Terrence Cardinal Cooke Nursing Home. Cabrini *was* on 19th St.
@NYCEMSwatch Ambulance services are a loss. They get no bump/pat for all the uninsured/underinsured etc who dont pay their bill, or the insane number of 90s/RMAs. If they operate at a permanent loss, then they need to bring patients back to fund the service. If not, they cant run it.
@NYCEMSwatch As stretched thin as they are and the system in the shambles its in, I'm entirely unsurprised that another hospital is reducing ambulance service.
@NYCEMSwatch I'm not sure that's an entirely fair way to look at it. The hospital also needs to have income to run the ambulances. With Medicaid/care reimbursement being what it is, hospitals need to consider bring back rates to determine if they can feasibly run their ambulances. With FDNY
@KeruboSk Have you considered an EMS career? Nearly everyone you will work with has ADHD, a touch of autism, or both. The neurotypicals are few and far between that theyre a tiny minority. Come visit your local weewoo wagon and see where the nearest EMT class is at. You might like it.
@NYCEMSwatch You can ask for whatever you want over the phone with 911. It doesnt mean you'll specifically get jury that. Its not Burger King, its public safety services.
FDNY didn't like that I reported that a lot of ambulances are not in service. So, what does FDNY do? They changed the target number of ambulances in service from 488 to 332, and shed the fleet roster down to 617 ambulances. So that means FDNY now has 285 spare ambulances today.
So, thanks to 'The FDNY Ministry of Truth' the Fleet Availability for Monday, February 9, 2026 shows FDNY is not short any ambulances today.
However FDNY is down 36 ladders & 47 engines. The @NYCcouncil & @JoannAriola32 should find out why FDNY needs 302 spare ambulances.
A tale of two billionaires. Jeff Bezos was at fashion week in Europe while he pulled a let-them-eat-cake firing of 30% of Washington Post journalists. Jimmy Lai stood by his newsroom and he will now likely die in a Hong Kong prison. Tell everyone you know about Jimmy Lai.
So, thanks to 'The FDNY Ministry of Truth' the Fleet Availability for Friday, February 6, 2026 shows FDNY is short only 21 ambulances today. However FDNY is also down 32 ladders & 37 engines.
