Station 1 - "Headquarters"
Station 1 is located in the heart of Washington Heights. This station was built in the Fall of 1997, and serves as the department's headquarters, earning it's name from the role it plays for the department. All of the administrative offices are located here, including the chief officers and training officers. Department wide meetings are held here, as well as new member training. To conduct training, there are two training rooms complete with projection equipment and stadium seating. This station is home to the EMS training office and EMS coordinating office. Station 1 is complete with a bunk-room and showers, a kitchen, a lounge, tool room, radio room, a gym, and storage areas.
