First responders are getting first-class treatment, thanks to a fancy new EMS station in Carroll Gardens christened this week by Mayor Bloomberg.
Officially known as EMS Station 32, the new $4.7-million ambulance depot at Carroll and Bond streets is a first-responder paradise, complete with a fitness room, dining room, kitchen, and lockers and bathrooms for a staff of 100.
The 8,150-square-foot station can accommodate seven vehicles.
Roy Sloane, a Cobble Hill activist, said the new station was a “mixed blessing.”
“I hope those EMS drivers aren’t letting their motors run too long and generating too much pollution,” said Sloane. “But anything that enhances community safety should be experimented with.”
Sloane has never had to call an ambulance, although he did acknowledge that, “There’s always the possibility.”
