Life and death situations are now funny. Incredible! Cute, as usual. You certainly have a knack for twisting things around. No one has said a word about EMS as there have been no proposals to do more than is currently done. Yet, you interject what is essentially the "if it saves one life" argument into a discussion of storing fire engines. The northside station is not manned today. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Ahhh, so let's put a EMS vehicle at every home if three minutes are that important. Life and death situations are now funny. Incredible! Several years ago the Maryland State Police put bids out to replace their Bell helicopters. The lowest bidder was Bell Helicopter but although it cost millions more, the State of Maryland allowed the State Police to purchase the more expensive Dauphin helicopters. The sole reason was it would allow trauma victims to reach Shock Trauma an average of five minutes sooner. Those five minutes meant the difference between life and death for a lot of victims. The point being, fire and EMS issues are different and need to be considered with that knowledge in mind. And that doesn't mean if one person in the OPVFD says to A, OPA should blindly follow. |
