The "Rock" saga continues.

According to today's telegram.com article found here:

UMass will begin staging ambulances, when not in service to or from a call for a medical emergency, on the apron of the Providence Street station, effective Friday,” Mr. O’Brien said. “UMass will fully occupy the Providence Street station upon completion of the renovations.”

Wow! I get to park outside the station and wait for calls. Fortunately, it won't be a long wait. Our current call volume and staffing level prevents us from sitting around.

From an email I received yesterday"

I feel so honored to have a dilapidated, decrepit, probably toxin filled building the fire dept. won't let their own stay in, to call home! Awesome!!!

Now we are hearing the stories from displaced firefighters about black mold, inadequate heat, and unsafe flooring. I'm sure the planned renovations will fix everything.

City sure is grateful for the FREE high-quality EMS they've been getting all these years. Every medic should be required to name their next kid after a firefighter.
