FDNY EMS members always say their career is not a choice, it is a calling. And the 2012 EMS Week poster, unveiled at EMS Station 32 on May 16, demonstrates their passion for the job. "This pays tribute to the 3,000 everyday heroes of the FDNY's Bureau of EMS," Fire Commissioner Salvatore Cassano said. "They do tremendous, inspirational work every day, improving the lives of those who need it most." May 24th at 7PM is EMS Night at Citi Field. Tickets are $20. each for field level. Anyone can attend and a portion of the proceeds will be donated to the National EMS Memorial Foundation. Join the Mets for EMS Night as they take on the San Diego Padres!

Read more: 7th Annual UEPI Picnic The Chief Leader March 30, 2012 By Richard Steier On the long list of pejorative phrases that union leaders have uttered about Governor Cuomo during his 15 months in office, you're unlikely to find "politically stupid." Yet midway through what one union official last week called "A political Mr. Potato Head" of a Tier 6 pension bill, there looms a provision that, in a time of war, whacks military veterans harder than any other employee group when it comes to a change in their contributions. Those persons already working... Our New Email Feature is Now Up and Running! You will see a "sign up for email" link on the right Sidebar.

View comparion chart (PDF) EMT Megan Pfeiffer, Station 50, just graduated from the EMS Academy two weeks ago, but she already is helping save lives. "That’s what we’re here for," EMT Pfeiffer said. "That’s why I came to the job." On Apr. 18, she and her partner, EMT Jim Duff (a six-year veteran of the FDNY), responded to a home on 170th Street in Queens. An elderly woman had become confused and pulled out the dialysis stent in her arm and was bleeding p...

"When you get a pediatric call, you want to do everything you can," said Paramedic Carl Gandolfo. "Everything is ramped up by 10." EMS members received the call a... FDNY Members Save Man Buried in Trench Collapse The trench from which the victim was removed. FDNY firefighters and rescue paramedics worked together to save the life of a man buried to his chest in a Harlem trench collapse on March 2. "Everyone did a great job, everything worked out well," said Deputy Chief Dan Donoghue from Division 3. "This man is really lucky, becaus... EMS Members Save Baby Choking in Manhattan While all rescues are special for FDNY EMS members, they always say there is something special about saving the life of a child. And this was no exception. On Aug. 3, at around 4:30 p.m., Lt. Nicholas Aiello, Paramedics Daniel Mboh and Ashley Alejo, and EMTs Bruny Ortega and Kevin Balslov got a call for a child choking at Fifth Avenue and 107thStreet in Manhattan.

Member Update To My Fraternal Sisters and Brothers, By now everyone is aware that the Governor has signed into law a Tier VI pension bill that affects almost all pension systems in the state. Those systems that escaped this reform, did so only because they saw reductions to their benefits in 2008. Although I myself, EMS Officers Union President Vincent Variale and our Lobbyist Bob Ungar were unsuccessful in our efforts to stop Tier VI, we were able to preserve our benefits. The ¾’s Disability Pension, the Widows and Orphans benefits, the Heart Bill and HAT protections as well as... FDNY 2012 EMS Week Poster Unveiled
