Protocol Binders
Over the coming days, the protocol binders in each vehicle will be updated to the new 2017 NYS Collaborative Protocols. They will be full-size white binders and the protocols will be printed in color for your convenience. The binder should continue to remain in the rear patient compartment area whenever possible.
Chili Station Door Access
The new access system at the Chili Station is active as of today. Your current HVA/CHS ID badges will now work and the fobs will not. Please return your fobs to Gabrielle at your earliest convenience.

Rig Checks

Please check what’s appropriate and then make comments in the comment box as necessary. Please be patient we are working on getting the Chili and Scottsville rig checks in e-Pro so they will be rig specific but it’s going to be a little while before this is complete. Any questions see me, thanks Jim!
Chili Station Phone
The Chili Station phone has been reconfigured and we now have an IP phone at that base. This phone is the same phone as what we have at the HVA Station. So any call that comes in to our main number 585-334-4190 will ring at Chili also. Guidelines that we are going to try to follow is if phone rings more the 3 times Gabrielle is occupied and someone needs to answer the phone. Chili can transfer just like we do at HVA and the Chili Ext is 151. Also the main Chili number (889-8614)... read more
