FDNY Breaks Ground on New EMS Station in Queens

[x635 4,066]

The FDNY prepared for a new beginning on Dec. 2, as ground was broken for the new EMS Station 50 and Division 4 in Queens.

“For many years, paramedics and EMTs at Station 50 have gone out to make a difference in the community they serve,” Fire Commissioner Salvatore Cassano said. “This ground breaking is the latest great chapter in the tradition here.”

Let's see, EMS was moved to FDNY in 1996 of 1997 with the promise of new EMS stations. I gues in municipal time, 17 years is pretty fast to just start to get things done?

They have opened some stations since the merger. Maybe not as many as we'd like but still.

Memory fades, so maybe there are some NYC*EMS guys that can help. I think Rudy promised 20 new stations?

Several stations, plus ambulances that don't have holes in the floor and have AC. Also added several als / Bls units in every boro. And wayyyyy cooler uniforms lol

Not all the stations were new, but some were created in old firehouses and other locations. Anyone want to add to the list or correct it.

For the guys saying nothing has been done, I don't think that's true. Also due you think HHC would have added or updated stations?
