Sorry for our prolonged absence, but when an emergency comes up, we gotta go. We have been gone for a week and there is a lot of catching up to do, so let’s get to it.
IFD Chief Greeson is leaving to go to the state fire marshalls office. With the departure of the top dog, keep an eye out to see who & where the replacement is. He, or even a she, might just hold a very big stake in the future of EMS in Marion County.
Rumors are flying about possible layoffs at Perry Township Fire Department. Will this be the usher for consolidation with IFD? If so, what will become of EMS there? Will IFD order a few new ambulances and hire more civilians? Will they drag Wishard down there? Will Rural Metro stay while they change over or will they be out the door on day one? Is it all just smoke and mirrors? Perry has claimed poverty for so many years, why believe them now.
We are hearing from our friends at Wishard that the Medusa SIREN program has been pushed back yet again. What we have heard so far, no cards for internet in any of the trucks; users who are not in the system due to never being put in or that the system has kicked back out; the guy running the show decided to go on vacation the week before it was to go online.
It is FDIC week. Our friends over at Indybravest have the schedule down for all to see.
For now, keep safe.

Indy EMS, your local 3rd service blog. We are not the police, and no matter what our uniforms say, most of us are not firefighters. This is our site. This is where we can come to exchange ideas, develop plans, and yes even vent. Please keep it clean, on point, and respectful to others and their ideas. Oh yeah, and don't forget HIPPA. We wouldn't want to end up unemployed or in court for a slip of the tongue. Read. Post & Enjoy.
