In Boston, not far from Dewey Square is a tall building with a Fire Station and Emergency Medical Services (EMS) station at its base.
The Emergency Medical Services station is situated to the right (when facing the building) of the fire station, opposite an exit for a parking garage. There are two bays: one for Downtown Paramedic 1 and one for Downtown Ambulance 1. These plus two more stations provide services to downtown Boston. The bays are painted green, with windows in them. At the time, they were closed, so the vehicles were not visible.
The web site for Boston EMS has some statistics about its operations (city-wide). In 2009:
- there were over 107,000 clinical incidents
- almost 78,000 transports
- 67 Paramedics
- 343 EMS uniformed staff
- Median Response Time is between 5.5 and 7.1 minutes, depending on the priority
