79A1 is a state-of-the-art ambulance with everything required to provide advanced life support care. It includes a power-load stretcher, cardiac monitor and defibrillator with 12-lead ECG and SpCO capabilities and noninvasive hemodynamic monitoring. It is also equipped with noninvasive BiPAP/CPAP capabilities, electronic patient care reporting, as well as dozens of front-line medications to treat most medical emergenices.
All four of SVAC's ambulances are equipped nearly identically.
Our older 79A2 ambulance has been retired and will be replaced this year. This new ambulance is currently being assembled with an expected delivery of September, 2022. It will feature the latest in comfort, safety and emergency care.
79A3 is equipped identically to 79A1 and is used regularly for 911 calls.
79A4 is equipped similarly to the other ambulances in SVAC's fleet. While it responds to 911 calls as a third-due ambulance, it is primarily used for prearranged transports, community paramedicine, and fire rehab.
Generously donated by the Quaker Ridge Golf Club, this all-terrain vehicle is used to access hard-to-reach places such as Saxon Woods Park, the Weinberg Nature Center, the Bronx River Pathway, and the two area golf courses.
79U1 is capable of transporting a patient from a remote location to the ambulance through the use of a scoop stretcher. It has enough storage to bring all of the necessary equipment and supplies from the ambulance directly to the patient for immediate patient care.
79M1 (Medic One) is a nontransporting EMS vehicle (fly-car) that responds to and provides advanced life support EMS care without the ability to transport patients. It is driven by a paramdeic and is equipped with a cardiac monitor, defribillator and both BLS and ALS medications. Since SVAC fly-cars are personal vehicles of SVAC members specially outfitted to respond to emergencies, they are often spread throughout the Village and able to start care prior to the ambulance's arrival.
Medic One also includes advanced radio communication and MCI-response tools for managing large-scale emergencies.
Medic Two operates in the same way as Medic One, and carries all of the same supplies as required by New York State law.
7912 is a fly-car that responds similarly to 79M1 and 79M2, but is equipped at the BLS level and operated by an EMT.
