GPS for all NY City emergency vehicles
According to a recent report in NY1 News, all of New York City’s fire trucks and ambulances will be fitted with GPS devices by the end of this summer. (4/21/2006)
Mayor Michael Bloomberg said that the system would let dispatchers know which units are closest to an emergency and find the fastest route to get there.
Some ambulances in Brooklyn and Staten Island were already GPS-equipped as part of a pilot program, and tests showed a 33-second reduction in emergency response times.”
