This is a cross posting from nassaufd rant, I'm trying to gather as much information as possible so I'm putting it here and a few other places as well. I'm doing a small policy research project and I was hoping all of you could help. What agencies in Nassau permit EMTs (even if its only on a case by case basis) to run red lights and sirens as per section 115-c of the VTL and NYSDOH BEMS Policy Statement 01-01 (Authorizing Private Vehicles as EASV's (Use of Red Lights & Sirens)) www.health.state.ny.us/nysdoh/ems/policy/01-01.htm or Section 115-A of the VTL that allows fire chiefs to designate anyone to use lights and sirens: "...operated by a chief or assistant chief of a fire department, or a county or deputy county fire coordinator, or county or assistant county fire marshall, or town or assistant town fire coordinator, or such vehicle when operated in an official capacity by or under the direction of such person"? What about in Suffolk, NYC, or other counties in the state? In other words what departments, EMS or fire, allow any members (officers, ALS providers, all EMTs, etc) certified as an EMT at a minumum to run lights and sirens in thier POVs? So far I know: NYCHatzolah Whitestone VAC Jamaica Estates VAC Emergency Medical Rescue (EMRNYC) NassauGlen Cove EMS (Only 1 member) Malverne VAC/Atlantic Beach Rescue/Bellmore - Merrick VAC? (only ex-chiefs) Erie CountyLancaster VAC (ALS providers only) Delaware CountyKortright Rural Emergency Squad-Bloomfield FD
