How can I volunteer for FDNY EMS

[dbsghkwnd]

I am an EMT-B and I want to volunteer for the FDNY BLS units.

I heard that if I sign up volunteering in some stations, I can take a BLS bus.

If someone knows about it, please give me some information.

Get hired, screw up until you're docked pay, then work a couple shifts for free. Then you'll be volunteering. Just kidding.

There is no program to staff FDNY EMS BLS units with volunteers. Doing so would make the good people of Local 2507 rather upset.

It really depends on which way the wind is blowing, but you might be able to put in for a ride along on a BLS unit. Go to the FDNY website, find the general contact numbers, give them a call, and then have a sense of humor as you navigate the phone maze until hopefully you can find someone who can give you a straight answer. If you have a NYS EMT-B card, a valid driver's license, and a background free of crime, you can always apply for a position as an FDNY EMT. Then you can ride the BLS unit and they'll even kick you a few dollars every so often. And when I say a few dollars, I mean just that. Good luck!
