Big thanks to Ithaca Fire Department for letting us use their training center yesterday, and 901 for sticking around to run through scenarios with our group! We’re always grateful for the relationship and collaboration with them to continue supporting EMS for our community.

Our new hire class got hands-on experience with stair chair operations and extrication techniques — a great start to their journey with us.

Welcome to the team, everyone! We’re excited to have you all on board 🚑

During a routine interfacility medical transport on Monday afternoon a Bangs Ambulance was involved in a motor vehicle crash. While traveling on State Route 17 in Broome County our ambulance was struck from behind by a commercial vehicle. The driver and the provider in the back of the ambulance sustained non life threatening injuries while the patient who was secured to the ambulance stretcher was not injured. The crew was able to contact Broome County 911 and 3 ambulances and a supervisor were dispatched from Union Ambulance. The patient being transported was evaluated and then transported to the facility they were originally being transferred to. The crew was transported to Wilson Hospital for evaluation. They were treated and released several hours after the crash. A Bangs Supervisor was dispatched to the scene and worked with the NYSP and a local towing company to return the damaged ambulance to Ithaca and then met the crew at the hospital and drove them home after their release. A NYSP Commercial Vehicle Inspector was at the scene and ticketed the driver of the commercial vehicle that had struck the ambulance. The driver of the truck was not injured and refused transport for evaluation. Bangs Ambulance is grateful to Union Volunteer Emergency Squad, Inc. for their rapid response, evaluation and transport of all three people involved in this incident

We would like to thank Cornell University EMS for joining us in a kickball showdown that left us all in stitches! Your enthusiasm, sportsmanship, and good-natured rivalry made it an unforgettable day of laughter, camaraderie, and pure fun. We’re looking forward to working with you all this semester and watching you grow as providers. Here’s to many more games in the future (especially if we win again)!
