FDNY needs to kill off the EMS 'no fail promotion to firefighter' exam.
NYC needs to fix the pay at FDNY EMS.
NYC needs to increase the amount of ambulances that are on the streets.
The @FDNYfc is an empty XXXL suit with a high school diploma, and should not be running FDNY.
@FDNY EMS response times to life-threatening emergencies have increased by 3 minutes and 50 seconds, a 41.2% increase from 2015, all the while life-threatening medical emergencies have surged 22%. This is a huge public safety risk that needs to be addressed with increased recruitment, retention and better pay.
Can someone help Peter out?
Alabama law doesn't permit nonresidents to file a public records request & I live in the Peach State.
If you live in 'Bama and are willing to file a records request for me, please email me at [email protected]
I'll do all the prep; you just need to email the request.
