Boro Park Hatzolah is getting ready to break ground tomorrow on their new $5 million facility. The new 3-story, 20,000-square-foot facility, to be built on 14th Avenue and 37th Street, will house six ambulances, a mobile emergency command center [MERV], and emergency snow-plows. The building will also have a training facility and state-of-the-art dispatching center.
NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg and other city and state officials are expected to attend this joyous occasion.
Boro Park Hatzolah currently has 150 dedicated volunteers – consisting of EMT’s, paramedics, and doctors. They respond to approximately 12,000 emergency calls each year.
YWN will have complete coverage of this event – including video and photos.

I know what you mean, but it still sounds funny.

Will the facility on 16th Avenue close up or stay?
I’m worried about the response time. 14th & 37th is a shtickel out of it, no?
