The city is pumping $30 million into FDNY and EMS operations in the Bronx, officials said Monday.
The investment will include funding for new ambulances and equipment, as well as $17 million toward construction repairs to EMS Station 17 at 109 Ogden Ave., which has been experiencing structural deterioration and lacks sufficient space for crew and equipment, according to a joint statement by Mayor Bill de Blasio and Fire Commissioner Daniel Nigro.
Some of the money also will go toward stationing FDNY officers and EMTs at Jacobi Medical Center and Lincoln Medical Center for a new Hospital Liaison initiative, designed to expedite patient intake and quickly get ambulances back on the street for service.
