HACKENSACK FIRE DEPT
RALLY /
MARCH
JUNE
30th
Attention all UNION BROTHERS and SISTERS,
Due to recent developments and actions taken
by the City of Hackensack's City Manager, Mayor, and City Council,
we are facing the loss of Eight highly dedicated Professional EMTs
from our Fire Department, UNION BROTHERS. They want to replace
our Fire Dept. Based EMS with a Third Party Private Ambulance
Company through Hackensack University Medical Center.
These
eight Professional Emergency Medical Technicians are part of the
Hackensack Fire Department. To remove them from the Fire
Department is to remove a highly trained Unit from our City’s
command structure in the event of a catastrophe or disaster!
Their jobs were created to assist not only our residents,
or anyone traveling through our city, but as a support system for
the Fire Department’s Firefighters, Police Department’s Patrolmen,
and DPW Workers. Our Fire Department based EMS has been in place
for more than 45 years.
On Monday, June 30, in a show of STRENGTH,
SUPPORT and SOLIDARITY, we are requesting ALL UNION BROTHERS and
SISTERS to join us in an Informational Demonstration / March that
will take us to City Hall then to Hackensack University Medical
Center. We will begin our March from Foschini Park {just off of
River Street and E. Salem Street}at 10:45am SHARP!!! Please
arrive early.
Franternally,
John Linquito - President, IAFF Local 2081
Charles Grieco - President, IAFF Local 3172
IN UNITY THERE IS
STRENGTH!!

DHSS Releases
Study of New Jersey’s Emergency Medical Services System
|
The New
Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services today released
an independent, comprehensive review of the state’s emergency
medical services (EMS) system that had been mandated by the
state legislature last year, Health and Senior Services
Commissioner Fred M. Jacobs, M.D., J.D. announced today.
The study,
“EMS System Review,” was conducted by
TriData Corp. of Arlington, Virginia, a nationally
recognized emergency services consulting firm.
In January
2006, the Legislature passed a resolution requiring the review
of the state’s entire EMS system, including ground EMS, the air
medical system, the EMS workforce, and the structure of the EMS
system, among other issues. The purpose was to determine
both the immediate and long-term needs of the system.
DHSS is currently reviewing the study to determine what
recommendations it will make regarding the future of New
Jersey’s EMS system.

“A GIFT FROM CAPTAIN BUSCIO”
My late husband Captain Dominick Buscio was a dedicated fire captain of the
Jersey City Fire Department. Dom was a wonderful husband, father, brother and
son to his family, and a true friend to all who knew him. At the age of 39, his
life was unexpectedly taken when he suffered a heart attack during our ski
vacation. Dom was the picture of health. In fact, the results of a complete
physical he had only 10 months before his death were normal, except for the
presence of moderately high cholesterol level. Since he was found to be healthy
at that time, he decided not to return for his annual physical the following
year. While many people his age made the decision not to seek regular checkups,
in his case, it resulted in an inconceivable loss to all of us.
I am sharing our experience with others because I have found that my husband’s
death was not a rarity. Heart attacks are the largest single killer of
firefighters. For that very reason, I created the program “A Gift from Captain
Buscio,” which began in Jersey City and now spans across the State of New Jersey
to offer strictly confidential comprehensive medical evaluations with no
out-of-pocket cost to all firefighters and officers.
My intention is not to instill anxiety. On the contrary, it’s to provide an
opportunity for peace of mind. I’m quite certain that this program would have
had Dom’s full support, given the current limited opportunities for firefighters
to obtain physicals.
For me, this program, which was founded in Dom’s memory, is an attempt to keep
your occupational risk limited to fighting fires.
Sincerely,
Donna Buscio
