I didn't know FDNY had BLS trucks. I'm not too surprised though, its a great cost savings solution.

What do your ALS and ACLS units look like and support

[@nycstreetsmd]

@@Roy_Mathis_Official_Fearless check previous videos its all there

[@Roy_Mathis_Official_Fearless]

@@nycstreetsmd copy I acknowledge I didn't know if you had AC or ACLS okay so it's an all-in-one unit then thank you

[@nycstreetsmd]

@@Roy_Mathis_Official_Fearless at your service brother…let me know if you would like for me to make a video about a topic

What is the step stool used for?

[@nycstreetsmd]

To help the patient onto the ambulance.

[@cnayawarren]

Won’t the gurney like roll?

[@nycstreetsmd]

It definitely could if we do not secure it to the ambulance latch that's bolted to the floor. I hope that makes sense

[@MuscleMan38K]

It's 2020 and FDNY still using manual gurney?

[@nycstreetsmd]

Yeah - the majority of the city still uses manual stretchers. The electric ones are being used at a few hospitals and I heard that the FDNY recently purchased some.

[@MattJM96]

Given that hospital Ems battalions are funded by the hospital and at most maybe have 10 units including bls and als, from a business point of view they could spend the extra money and drop 17,000$ on a power stretcher. However since the FDNY Has over 200 ambulances ( I’m sure they have more ) within the 5 boroughs they’re not gonna be able to have 200+ power stretchers at a price point of over 10 grand...
