Report omits that the no fail FDNY EMS promotion to firefighter exam is one of the big reasons people join FDNY EMS, and are gone in less than five years. The no fail FDNY EMS promotion to FDNY firefighter exam needs to end.
When every second counts, New Yorkers are waiting longer for emergency medical care. 🚨 As medical emergencies increase, low pay and high turnover among @FDNY EMTs and paramedics are putting additional strain on NYC’s EMS system, contributing to longer response times. 🚑 Our latest report calls for competitive pay for these essential first responders and a comprehensive plan to reduce response times and ensure New Yorkers get the care they need, when they need it most.
